I had very unpleasant withdrawal symptoms while I tapered down from 225mg (over several months) and then for several weeks after I stopped completely, but 3 months after stopping the only thing that remained was occasional 'head shocks' maybe once or twice a week, and now a year later I haven't had a head shock for several months. It might feel like hell when you're going through it, but most people end up symptom free - remember that the people who come on boards like this are often those with problems, that's why they seek help. The thousands who go on and off this drug with no problems have much less need to share their experience with others and ask for advice.
