Well, I must say that this morning I feel alot better. The dizziness is 98% gone, only hits me when I stand up too quickly. I think I may be ok as long as I don't overexert myself today. My head feels pretty good, and I haven't got a headache. I would imagine that the wicked headache I had a few nights ago was due to the withdrawal symptoms as well.
I was taking 50mg before I discontinued it. I felt fine up until that point, going from 100mg to 50mg didn't seem to affect me at all.
If I had to do it again, I would definitely try a flexible dosage tapering strategy. I would not recommend going cold turkey, it seems to wreak havoc on your system.The other thing is, it's hard for me to split the pills as they are not tablets but capsules. So, I was actually splitting my 100mg pills into half, but I could never be sure that I was splitting them equally. If they had been tablets they would have been much easier to work with.
Thank you for your advice. If I notice any of my symptoms worsening again, at least I know what is causing them and what to do to grant my system a little bit of relief.
