> I "designed" my own schedule based on my personal reaction to the tapering. But your Dr should know best.thank you for your response. i was trying to "do it my way" which is a dead giveaway to my faults.
what i did wrong was NOT do what my doctor told me in the tapering schedule. i went too quickly because i felt i could do it. i have resumed the dose i took 3 days ago and will taper VERY slowly. i had no idea this medication was such a demon. i am so proud of your 10 day accomplishment. i long to be in your place so my children can see me "normal" again. i feel like a failure as a mom... again, much appreciation for your quick response and for your concern. this board is such a blessing.
