I cut the dose of Stablon by 1 tablet every 10 days. The worst of it seems to have been the cut from 4 tablets to 3 tablets a day. Going to 2 tablets a day didn't cause much except for some tingling in the head and lightheadedness for 1 day. Otherwise I feel fine.
I forgot to take Valium at midnight, two days in a row and still feel calm. Withdrawal from Valium can take several days to develop due to the long half-life, but I hope I do well on only 5mg 3x/day. :-)
Perhaps the long light therapy sessions are helping because I don't feel depressed. 3 or 3 1/2 hours a day of light therapy.
