Trying to taper off from nortriptyline 10 Mg (for IBS/Anxiety)

Hi, I am on Paroxetine 5 MG for my anxiety and 2 BP meds. I am also taking nortriptyline 10 mg for last 2.5 years for my IBS and headaches. However, intrestingly, a lot of my IBS symptoms went away after a sinus surgery. My doc doesn't believe in it, but I do. I believe inflammation was the case for my sinus problems and opening the nasal channels helped my IBS as well.

So, I am trying to taper off my nortriptyline 10 Mg i've been on for last 2.5 years. I tried it once in December last year, but went back after being quite anxious after withdrawal. I want to try this again now, i am planning to do nortriptyline every other day and Ashwaganda during the days not on nortriptyline. Planning to do this schedule for next 3 weeks and I am really hoping that I can get off this medication.

Looking forward to your experience and if anyone was on similar boat as me.
