I was taking 300mg for the first 3 years then was bumped up to 375mg for the last 2 years. I tapered to 300 for about a month and then 150 for a week and I have been off since last Friday. I think it was starting to do some bad stuff to me in terms of anger and suicidal thoughts so I just wanted off. I'm almost 47 and need to see what life is like unmedicated. Was an active alcoholic until 34 and on some type of antidepressant since then.

Am having the opposite problem as you. I think exercise has been helping me though. Run about an hour every morning and then go work on an office all day and I still can't sleep at night. That's when the anxiety kicks in too. Almost like I am "high" from it. Felt really bad the first couple days, dizzy, light-headed, feeling disconnected from life almost. Today I was feeling really good in the morning. Music hadn't sounded so good in years. Felt alert and in more control of my feelings. I know that feeling of not going to last, unfortunately.

I think it will probably be a couple months before I get any sort of baseline back so I am going to try to tough it out until then.

I hope you start having some good days too.
