Believe me I know exactly what you are going through. In fact, I just got off the phone with my psychiatrist and he said that because I weaned myself I didn't do it right and the side effects are my fault. I told him about others experiencing the same thing and he said that is only 1% of all users, BS! I told him that I weaned down exactly the way that he increased my doseage and then he said "oh, okay, you are weaning correctly, but you are a small percentage of people who have any side effects". That is BS and he knows it. I have vertigo all day long, my ears are clogged, I can't walk a straight line, I'm nauseous, etc., but I will not go on another drug to help me get off this one. Well, I'm sorry if I'm making you feel worse, not my intention, I know that I will feel better soon, I won't let this destroy me, but I feel the same way around my two boys and my husband is getting the worst of it. Just be strong and we will get through this, we just have to keep our minds strong and help others out there who have no idea what they're getting themselves into. TAke care, and good luck.
