How did you come of the patch and what strength were you on. Did you taper down or go C/T. What were the withdrawals like and do you still get them?

Well done Deb you must be so pleased it's the worst I've ever felt I've come down from 100 to 75 but it is all over the place how long the patch last sometimes 48 hr this time as we talk it's only been24 and already really anxious and cold sweats I'm trying to keep busy but very hard.not sure if the long road is achievable but well done you. Never again,if I can get rid of this horrid drug. How do some people just stop is beyond me. Thanks for listening and all the best to you and your family in the future. Dave.
