Thank you very much for posting. I am at a point where I need some encouragement.
How are you tapering? Cutting pills in half? I talked to a pharmacist about mixing the sol-tabs in a little water and taking it that way. She thought his was good but said to call the company. She thinks it is stable so it should be ok.
I am 7.5-mg and things are day to day. I am actually feeling depressed but I am almost 100% sure it is the med. This drug really affects my head and makes in very heavy and the physical feelings are depressing me. Sometimes I get the sharp pains in my head and it feels like someone is sitting on my brain. I have nausea today also. I just hate this drug but I cannot wean off until April 21 as I have something important coming up. I hope I can last until then. I want to be free of this drug.
The thing I fear the most is the insomnia when I go down. I don't know if you read my earlier post but I was off this for almost 2 weeks and my sleep was so light and nausea was terrible. I guess I should get something to help with sleep, but my doctor said we should limit what I take because we don't want to have withdrawal from that too.
I wish we could get people to post on this drug more. Have you found any other sites that have any good info?? Thanks and good luck. Please keep us posted and I will do the same.
