Thanks for the encouragement! That really helps motivate me to stick with it. I just wondered if I'm far enough along now that the end will be in sight soon or whether I need to backtrack and taper as is recommended. I discontinued rather abruptly because I was only taking the starting dose, so thought I wouldn't have many withdrawal symptoms, but looks like I was mistaken. It's just hard to taper even with a pill cutter once you get past cutting it in half, so I figured what the heck, I'm just gonna do it now and be done with it before I change my mind lol.
