Hi @Ellenedit, welcome! I'm sorry you're not feeling the best. When you get a chance, could you create a Drug History Signature for yourself that will appear at the bottom of all your posts? Add the name of your drug and your current dose. Also, how long you've been on it. You can see my signature as an example. You can do this in Settings at the bottom of the left sidebar of the site. Also, feel free to create an Introduction post for yourself if you'd like. When was your last reduction and by how much? Don't hesitate to reduce by a lesser amount or hold longer between reductions if your symptoms become too bothersome. We have some helpful articles if you'd like to read them. https://taper.community/thread/16345bac-e9dc-417d-9bd3-a6e2a4cece42 https://taper.community/thread/d5a2307c-8a7f-48d9-aea7-5751f2aa3efe https://taper.community/resources/blog/dizziness-and-vertigo-from-withdrawal Catina 🌸
