"I have reason to believe that the longer one spends in a state of severe withdrawal upon the abrupt discontinuation of a drug, the longer the withdrawal symtoms persist long after the drug is stopped. In other words, stopping "cold turkey" might set up a series of changes in the nervous system that produce an extension of the withdrawal syndrome for weeks and months afterward. An effective taper strategy prevents this from happening."

I agree completely
