I'm so sorry you're hurting so much, bluebycicle I agree with what all the others have already wisely said better than I ever could. Be careful. It could be dangerous for your own health. I agree that you need to taper them off one step at the time. If you ditch them all at once it could be very dangerous. Even if it went well before, it doesn't mean it will go well this time. I'd suggest to talk to your Pdoc about this and se how it goes from there. Hopefully he/she will be able to help you. If you still want to go off meds, he/she will be able to help you. Stay strong, bluebycicle. Stay safe and take care of yourself. You're a wonderful person. You deserve to get better and to feel good. I hope you'll be able to get the help you need and deserve. I'm so sorry, I know it's hard. Please don't give up. I hope things will get better soon for you. Remember that we're here for you if you need it. Feel free to PM me anytime. Let me know if I can do something to help you. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this
