      I am thinking of doing the same. My personality is completely gone and my family misses me so much. I am going to start an exercise regiment to see if that helps along with accupuncture. Here sending you blessings on your journey.

      I am on 100 mg and still don't see any positive effects. Since you are down so small now can you just stop. How did the withdrawal go because if I don't get any relief in 2 more weeks which will make a total of 8 weeks, then I am going to start tapering as well. I should see a small amount of effect at 6 weeks and I don't so I am beginning to think this isn't the med for me.
