Hello Everyone

I have been on 30mg for 8 years now and since June I started my withdrawal at 10% every 4 weeks.

3 days ago I started 15mg and today I have been feeling drowsy.....

Please has anybody has this experience when withdrawing ? Any advice will be appreciated

    Embrace the drowsiness.  When you are totally off and have to deal with sleeplessness you'll want that drowsiness back.  I was on mirtz for 13 to 15 years and am dealing with no sleep.  Its been since September so not long.  I am figuring it will take quite a bit of time for me to get back to some resemblance of normalcy. Anyway, I tapered down to around 2.5 to 3.5 mg before I stopped completely.  Good luck.
