    Yes, Chris. You did a 50% reduction. I did the same, had same symptoms. Par for the course. What is your next move?

       Hi Gretel. think i will try same again tonight see how i am tomorrow maybe 50% reduction is to much in one go with this table. if same tomorrow i will take 3/4 of the tablet tomorrow night. and stick with that for a week or two. didn't expect such  bad side effect with 50% reduction

    Yes and it gets worse if you continue cutting that dose in half.

      i sometime wonder if doctors experienced the side effects  of these types of drugs they may believe and understand what the  patient  describe about the effects it has on them

    Sorry it's not helping you either. Today I feel like my left ear is bleeding.  I'm still so dizzy and can't even find words to put together to say how I feel. Totally not me or of any value. It's been  2 days off the one 7.5 dose I took
