> Thanks!I went from 60mg to 30mg for two weeks and then went completely off. I knew going into the process what to expect thanks to all of the postings! I made it! I felt pretty good for about three or four days after stopping it and then I dealt with the horrible nausea, dizziness and shock feelings for about 8-10 days, only a few of them were what I would consider pretty miserable. I strongly recommend reading all of the threads listed here and prepare yourself (and family/friends) for about 1 1/2 weeks of symptoms. Trust me, it sucks but knowing there is a light at the end of the tunnel will help, it did for me. Plus I knew I was doing something good for me and in the long run would be worth the discomfort. Have faith!
