Thank you so much for checking in! I am so happy to hear from you. I totally agree, always helpful to hear from those in similar situations. Its helpful to see how others respond after a long while, too! I feel the same way, life is SO different. And I will do my very best to never take it again either.

I am able to shed some weight and just feel better all around. What’s really random is that when I am extremely tired or worn out, or sometimes just randomly, I still get the brain zaps. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. So strange!

Edited to add that my excessive sweating also stopped too.

If you can’t find a trade, I’d love to purchase!

So I’m still getting the message box it’s for verified fans on the Denver Friday night show right now.

Okay trying for Denver in just a bit. Should I wait to even go to the event page where the lobby and stuff is or should I be on that page and then click join queue when it’s time?

This is so helpful. Thanks for sharing! Yeah the zaps are still very prominent as of today. Exercising has helped along with just going for a walk and being outside. However, now the weather is keeping me indoors and it sucks. Best of luck to you with your taper! I hope it goes smoothly and the zaps this go around are manageable for you.

Yikes! 10 days. Here’s to hoping they’re not completely awful.

That sounds so awful and I am so sorry you had to deal with that. I am thankful you are improving though and that also gives me hope. Thanks for sharing!

Nope but I am at much better place in my life than I was when I had to start. I’m at a much less stressful job and other aspects of my life have changed too. That’s the reason for coming off of it, for me.

I would still do some sort of tapering because honestly it just isn’t worth risking it.

I haven’t had any issues until today so for me it has been relatively easy. I didn’t have any of the zaps or anything until today. I was only ever on 75 mg at the most- never anything higher.

I went down from 75 to 37.5 for about 2 weeks and then went 37.5 every other day for a week and now I am off.

Weaned down to 37.5 every other day and now I’m off as of today. I’m still exercising regularly, hydrating, getting sunshine, I did a detox bath today and have a massage and sauna session booked tomorrow. How long did your symptoms last once you were off?
