I've been on 36 hours for a month now and would like to taper it further, but I start getting brain zaps that are awful exactly after 36 hours. I would like to increase the interval to 48 hours but the withdrawal is really bad,I just can't get up,feel really dizzy.
Any advice or story to share?
Thanks!

No stories to share. Have you contacted your pdoc, to let them know you are having trouble with the taper? Even a phone consult and they could advise you what to do? Someone mentioned perhaps it's too fast a taper for you? Don't know, doesn't hurt to make that call, sounds like it hurts to not call
