> I was on 200 mg and cut 50 mg per week, then from 50 to 25, then 0. What's weird is I am doing really pretty good during the day. I had a bad day Sunday, with a lot of dizziness and the zaps, but otherwise during the day I have done well. It's the night I fear now.

> Tapering has definitely worked better for me than when I quit cold turkey the first time, and I went back on it in November of '03 because I became suicidal and checked myself into the hospital when my first wife filed for divorce, so I can totally understand my psychiatrist putting me back on it, but things are going very well for me now, and it's time to get off it for the last time, because this withdrawal is not cool!what time period did you take? did you stay on a dosage until symptoms subsided? How long overall has this taken you? How long have you been completely off? Are you having vivid dreams? Are you in "the dark place" at all? are you experiencing much "emotional liability"? I have envy that you have the courage to go off! good job!!
