I posted a few days ago saying that I quit cold-turkey. It has now been 10 days and I am happy to say that the withdrawal symptoms are almost completely gone. I was only on 75mg and only took it for about 6 months, so that may have made it easier for me. The sleepiness and diziness were my worst side effects. I think if you can tough it out for a week or so, it will get better. I personally would rather go through a week of hell than taper off and drag it out for months at a time.
