Hi everyone
I am on 7.5 from 10 for a couple of weeks now and am feeling good mentally but physically I'm aching all over. Anyone experienced this?

Hi Mike
That's reassuring to know. I feel about 90 sometimes. I hope it passes with time.

Hi Toria
How long have you been withdrawing? For me it's been about two weeks and I mostly have physical symptoms, aches and pains, stiffness, headaches etc.

doctors know nothing about withdrawal if your standard dose is 10mg you need to reduce by 10 percent ask for the liquid xx

your doctors instructions are all over the place.it takes along time to wean off this medication without issues as in months or years.more like years.
