It is truly amazing to read these posts and see that I am not alone! Please tell me why the Dr's tell you to do the every-other-day method of tapering when it so obviously is NOT the way to taper? I too had the major nausea at the end of my first week of tapering when I tried to push the length of time in between doses. I began this process on 4/2. Hit rock bottom 4/8 with the brain zaps and nausea as I was trying to follow Dr's orders. I then found this site and began cutting the doseage. I am now taking about a 16th as soon as I feel the tightening in my head which is followed shortly by the zaps. I have also cut out alot of the benedryl. I am not using Prozac or anything else to help with the taper. So far, so good...
