    I'm going through it too. I wonder how long it takes to go away. Should I really be feeling like this? I've been on about 3 weeks now. How long have you been taking it?

      dropping from 40-30 is too much too quick. Reducing to 35 should have saved you from the horrible withdraws.

    Yes I am. I have had them for 6 months and many in past over 30 years. I repeatedly am afraid I am going to harm myself (don't want to) and constantly thinking what it would be like not to be here. They are strange. I know it will go away eventually because it has before. So frustrating! Doctor told me to stay on meds for life but did I listen, No. I went off them for 3 years no problem but came back last September and still here because of med changes.
