I am now down to 225 mg as of Wed. (8-23). I've dropped 75 mg per week and it's been tolerable. The only sensations of withdrawal have been a little woozy feeling and a slight headachey feeling. When I dropped to 225, I did notice a bit more of the woozy and light-headedness and it's seems to be hanging on longer. It's tolerable - but not a great feeling - but at least I can still work. I decided to stay at this dose for a few weeks since the symptoms seem to get more pronounced the lower the dose goes.
I'm sure glad I was prepared for this. I'm also fortunate that I'm not one of the hyper-sensitive people that really suffer!
