Anyone doing this now?

Who feels better off the med?

I've been on 30mg for few months GP reduced to 22.5mg x 2 weeks

Gained 20+ pounds

Looking for hope that people did normal tapers and managed to feel normal after.

This is a serious drug. I am 10 years sober from from D&A and the withdrawal of this drug + the taper on was no joke.

I should have ceased at the red flags when got so sedated.

If anyone is also tapering please comment to connect. I can't manage a 4+ year taper that some of the FB suggest. Please tell me there is hope at doing slowly over MONTHS not years.

My GP is suggesting 6-8 weeks.

Only been on 3.5 months.
