I am off 2 weeks now. I was on it for 4 years. I gained 40 pounds and weigh more than I ever have even during pregnancy. This is the worst drug. I am not in the medical field and am not suggesting that anyone listen to my advice. I am sure some people benefit from it but not me. I realize now that I have been living in a fog for the past 4 years and still suffered from anxiety and panic every day. I started my taper in January and did it without my doctors help. I just cut a little bit off the tablet once a month and really only suffered from hot flashes, nausea, and vivid nightmares. I feel the best I have felt in 4 years. My mind is clearing, off blood pressure medicine and when I feel the anxiety coming on I have the ability to calm it down. I am certainly not suggesting any one come off this medication but am only telling you that if I can do it you can. I have lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks, the nightmares are going away and I feel happy. Just don't jump off too fast. I tried before and was back on it quickly. I am determined this time to stay off. Good Luck! You can do this. I really wish someone had told me to never start this crap but they didn't and I was desperate at the time.

You are stronger than you think. It will get better and you will beat this. You may have to go back on it a taper slowly.
