I can sure identify -- I also tried to quit cold turkey against my better judgement recently (I was worried about liver damage), and after a couple of days I not only felt stoned, I had trouble talking, my tongue felt about 6 inches thick in my mouth. It was NOT what I was expecting, which was the exact opposite -- hyper, edgy, anxious etc. My pharmacist was kind enough to give me a refill in 30 mg caps instead of 60's, which helped. After a week or 10 days on 30/day I cut back to 30 mg every other day, which went OK.
I never went off it altogether, I'm back on 60 mg/day for now as I'm slated for blood tests next week to see if it really is affecting my liver.
I'm not sure if it comes in a smaller cap than 30 mg.
