That's great letting go, gD. Excellent. Do you have an *intuitive* hit about whether to do 2.5 or 5?
Oh, I have had so many itchy bumps in w/d.....

No, nothing really. I had already done another week of tablets so I will take them and work out what to do next week, provided I am coping. Although these raging crayzy vibes are beserk, I like the fact they don't hurt! It will also depend on my sleeping, too. I decided not to visit my regular weeky friend (the only one I keep in touch with) and lie low as we have friends comng tomorrow from Tas. I find that talking really makes the vibrations a lot worse and takes a lot of energy out of me, but then I get exhausted but cannot rest.
Only one worry with this 5% taper (which is proving so far worse than the previous one - but I expected that) - can I do any damage to my brain????
for me, maybe i am wrong, i think about damages:Originally Posted by grandmaD
tapering is not creating damages; maybe cold turkey a little and it seem not sure; the changes made in brain and bowels are the result of years taken
12 years paxil(9 years only 10 mg) - cold turkey(1,5 month) and switch celexa tapered 1 year 20 mg
62 years old - for GAD - 4 years 3 months meds free [since april 2009]
vegetables soup - orange (vit C) - curcuma - some meat or fish
The good
A little improvement in the leg cramps, the burning legs, ankles and feet
The bad
Insomnia and indigestion creeping back, but not a big issue at present
The ugly
Pressure heads high, head vibes high, body vibrations and severely aching legs
Still grinning and bearing it

No, tapering slowly -- like 5% -- cannot damage your brain.
