I was only on this stuff for 5.5 months and up to 60mgs. My doctor told me to taper from 60 to 40 for a week then 20 for a week then stop. I was feeling like crap 2 days after and then found this site and apparently it's no suprise I feel this way. I had debilitating headached when I got down to 20 mg and now I feel like I am in a dream? I can't explain it, but it's like I turn to look at something and my mind has to catch up?, I feel like my extremities are "asleep" like when your arm falls asleep, but not quite to that degree. I have just weird sensations and I am irritable as hell.
I don't want to go back on it, I have been completely off of it for 3 days. 5 months doesn't seem like that long to be taking it, but I am scared that this is going to go on for months like others have posted here? Not sure what a brain zap is supposed to feel like? I thought like an electrical shock? I have these weird things in my head and I think that is what you are talking about, but can someone try to describe them to me??
thanx in advance
