Wow. I just detoxed from 30/40 mgs a day (for about 2 years). I titrated over the course of *at least a month* down to about 2.5 mgs (really about the smallest I could get with a pill cutter).
I had a few rough days (unreasonable irritability mostly) but it wasn't so bad.
Are you having trouble sleeping? I did use Phenibut (Tension RX from my local Whole Foods) to help sleep., 2-3 capsules before bed. They *may* have helped in other ways but I wasn't aware and hadn't taken that into consideration.
If they don't interfere with any of your medications you might consider (maybe talk to your doctor, let him do a little bookwork!).
Hope you feel better!
