hi,i was on 40mg for approximately two years,i stopped taking them because my memory was terrible,i stopped by skipping a day then halfing them,i done this for about a month,i had brain zapps for about two weeks and i can't remember having any other side affect,im not saying that doing this is for everyone but this is how i dealt with it.
