I am going through the strange process too. I was on 75mg. felt like it stopped working for a month and then had horrible hangover like headaches on the next refill of the same amt. The medicine helped my anxiety once I got used to it but it just feels like side effect after side effect and no more good effects. I didn't want to increase my dose to feel better. I remember getting off the med. before. I know that it will be over and I look forward to it. I certainly feel more clear as I have decreased to half dose for one week and this week every other day a half dose. I feel extra energy as I get off the med. but I feel tightness in my chest...anxious...I'm just trying to breathe and ride it out. I'm hoping that once off the rollercoaster of on and off days I will feel better. I feel that xanax helped me better. Just taking as necessary. Good luck everyone! It is nice to know that others feel the same can't find words symptoms. I also feel very dizzy and at work feel so out of it I wonder if anyone notices. I wish I could just go home and close the curtains...my eyes are sensitive to light. and sleep it all off. Good luck. I was on this before and got off and remember feeling better. Eventually my anxiety came back. I will try nutrition and exercise and perhaps a diff. med. Take care :)
