Cashy, I cut my usual dose of 30 mg to 15 mg for two nights--then took that every other night for a couple of nights--then just stopped. I know you're not supposed to do that, but I've been laid up and out of the gym for almost a month because of surgery, and I was desperate not to put on too much additional weight. The thing I've found with this drug is that if you do gain any weight while on it, it's absolutely impossible to take it off--and I've been eating very carefully and working out hard every day (except for the month after the surgery). So I'd rather experience the dreadfulness of the cold turkey now and get it out of my system, and then ask the psych for a new med that's weight-neutral. (Guess I'll have to figure out how to sleep again, too).
Good luck to you, too. I think this drug is nefarious, and never would have taken it if I'd known what it can do.
