Day 5 of reducing from 40mg to 35mg...

So it's only day 5 of going from 40 to 35mg. Perhaps I'm coming down with something, perhaps it's withdrawal already? I feel almost flu like - achy, a bit nauseous, dodgy stomach.. Nothing major that I can't deal with, but wanted to write it down as I'm feeling determined and find it easier if I talk to people.

Is it possible to feel symptoms already, after only 5 days?

    Hi Fraggle, it could be either but no coincidence that your getting these symptoms after tapering down, all being well they will pass, good luck. Neil

    Not sure if withdrawals start that soon but I wish you all the best with coming off them.

      Me neither to be honest, I thought it would be more likely around the 7 day mark. Ah well, regardless thanks for your reply and for your kind words smile
