I was on 600 MG's of GB for three months.   Fog, nausea, depressed and anxiety.  My GP Told me to go cold turkey!  Big mistake, I was very ill.   He then tapered me, 2x100 for two weeks and 1x100 for two weeks.   I read about magnesium and tried it.  My mistake was buying a cheap variety.  I then tried to get Remag, but it was going to take too long.  I opted for CBT off Amazon.  Three pills three times a day not near my 10 pm GB dose.

During this withdrawal I felt awful.  Take the GB at 10pm then all the next day felt terrible until 7 pm when I felt good.   So I wondered what is the point of taking the GB as it was making me feel suicidal.   I stopped it there and then.   I am off.  I feel like I did before the GB.   Please try this as it I worked for me.   I will never ever touch this stuff again, pure evil.   Good luck
