    Hi Marie,  I've recently come off these (though am on something different).  25g is not tto bad.  If you are sure you are ready to come off;  Firstly, you should talk it through with your doctor and if they're ok, you'll need to gradually come off still.  Usually  (if you can break it) 12.5 a day for a week before going every other day for a week then seeing how you go without.

    I wish you well but if you do feel that you need it do talk to the doctor straight away.
