Musky,
It's going to get rough, just know that and prepare yourself. I breezed through the first week and a half, relatively problem-free (with the exception of insomnia which is a given for me). My doctor told me at day 14 that any affects I should have felt from the medicine would have been completely gone by then. But we here know differently. Around days 15+ I hit a wall and couldn't recover, and as you know started back 5 days later(but I had stopped cold turkey).
You have certainly taken every precaution in weaning so slowly, but don't assume that will be enough for you to stop without terrible withdrawal. I think you, like me, are incredibly sensitive to this drug. I have never taken more than 5 mg and I still had horribly severe withdrawal.
I think, you are going to have to decide that this is going to be "it", and stick to it. I have two small children to take care of and literally was unable to hang in there. But I think you can do this. Just know it will pass and resolve yourself to a few weeks of discomfort.
I'm so sorry things aren't going better. It IS powerful. Don't you see your acupuncturist today?
