>wow, thought it was all in my mind!! i was on 30 mg for 6 weeks and decided i didn't want to feel like a zombie any more. so doc said to dump out the contents of the capsule take half for a while. well, i went down to on fourth and guess what? the shocks, emotional imbalance, everything is the same as if i was taking 30. he tried telling me that most people get rid of the zombiness after 60, but i said no more, i want off.
i've taken a full regimine of vits for years, have added GABA, cal-mag mix (i get it at GNC), and will be trying the benadryl at night, and possibly cold meds with amphetaines during the day. not quite sure i want the amphetamines, but for sure the benadryl.
sorry if i sound rambling, i'm sure most of you understand this phase of the withdrawal. hubby is worried, i feel like slamming my body into a brick wall, teenage daughters KNOW for sure i have lost it completely.
i'll hang in there a bit longer, see if they commit me by the end of next month or something. :( please pray, this is not easy, and i'll pray for all on this site.
