I now know that I made a mistake for getting off the medication in that way. I am not trying to blame anybody. I think I have done enough of beating up on myself. I am just trying to look for a solution to what happened. I just didn't know that the method I was doing before was not safe or good. I was just following what a former doctor of mine told me to do. I have been on this medication other times in my life and have never had issues with it. I just wish that doctors would warn you that getting off this drug can have huge withdrawal symptoms and you may not want to drive or handle heavy equipment until you are completely off it.
