Hey, Tek7. Sorry to hear about the bad side effects. I have been on 150mg for a few years. A few weeks ago decided to bring it down to 75mg. I am doing it VERY GRADUALLY because I have heard how hard it can be. So far, some withdrawls, but ok.
My reason for posting is to say thank you to you & the other folks who posted. It helps to know other people out there face the same struggles (not that I want anyone to struggle). Tek7, your ability to articulate your symptoms were so useful (like the brain shimmers). I get the 'shimmers' too & have such a hard time trying to explain it to my sygnificant other & doctor.
I really appreciated your honesty & I am glad there is a forum for people to share their experiences because you won't get the REAL TRUTH from the manufacturers or doctors.
Best of luck to you all.
