Hello there. I understand completely.
Tell us the side effects that you've had and the level of concern on each.
I highly recommend NOT stopping 'cold turkey'.
Do whatever taper the doctor recommended. If you absolutely must reduce more than MD said, do it slowly. Call on Monday and give an update, and ask for a further drop if you have to.
Understand that some amount of discontinuation syndrome will occur almost inevitably. Plan accordingly.
In the meantime, practice the best self-care possible. Get plenty of sleep. Take a shower and wear clean clothes. Eat a couple meals sitting down at table. Get outside some if you can. Call or text with a couple friends or family members about enjoyable things. Watch a good show. Water indoor plants. Do some focusing meditation, including sound.
Let us know how things are going and be safe.
