Don't want to scare you, but yes, this drug is notoriously hard to taper off. It's not as bad if it's being replaced with something else concurrently. I had to come off 450, I think I did 25 or 50 mgs at a time. Lots of dizziness and brain zaps. The zaps continued for months after I completely stopped taking the drug. And I tapered even more slowly than my pdoc recommended, go figure.
