I could not agree more with everyone who has posted warnings on this subject.

I have been tapering off of this med for I don't even remember how long now... not long at all. It was prescribed to me for 6-7 yrs. or so w/o mention of the potential dangers.
My new med provider (NP) explained to me why she wanted to taper me off of it soon.
I don't see her often so I decided to go ahead and taper myself off of it.
This can't be as difficult to withdraw from as is stated all over the internet, I thought to myself.
Yes, it actually is.
And if what I have I read on the subject is true, withdrawal will get even worse... for quite some time.
I apologize if this post is triggering... to me it needs to be said. I would've proceeded with great caution had I known.
