Bill LL & DMark:
thanks for the advice! Tapering slowly seems to be what everyone recommends, including my doc. I've gone from 10 --> mg/day so far & no absolutely horrible effects. I am crankier (even my hubby noticed), though...and I've been more irritable when driving. Hopefully that will subside.Hope you are doing well!
JenStar> Bills methos sounds good. Make sure you do it as slow as possible. Don't be in a hurry to stop taking this med. The results of coming off too quick are awful.

> 5. Lick a tablet every day for a week. Just to be safe.
