My experience has been that cold-turkey - the worst of the withdrawls is over 8 to 10 days after they began (2 to 3 days after stopping). I'm now 3 weeks out and still have occasional dizzyness - but it is so much better than a week and a half ago!
My joint pain is returning (unfortunately), but I feel alive again! I liken this experience to being shocked with a defibrulator (not that I've ever really had that experience - but I imagine that it's really not pleasant in and of itself). The end result being that you're alive again!
Hope this helps! Hang in there - it will get better, I just couldn't bear taking any more to help with the withdrawls - it felt like I was backtracking. It might not be the easiest way - but it does work. My kids survived (8,4,2,1); my hubby didn't take off of work - it's just like a really fun case of the flu with a few extra surprises. Keep your TV close and your remote even closer.
