i have been on 45mg for 12 years. I tried to come off them around 4 years ago and went through a break up at the same time so ended back on them whilst getting to 15mg.

We started off with trying to miss a day and take a day but on the days I didn't take it I was still awake at 5am!

So for the last 3 weeks I have cut a 45mg in half and that's helping me sleep. I am starting to see some withdrawal symptoms now though, brain fog and feeling electric shocks down my arms. i have also noticed feeling a little bit manic at times and my appetite isn't great either. Strangely I feel a bit itchy and grubby so keep having a shower 3 today so far

I am trying not to over think the withdrawal symptoms. I will try to keep riding it out
