Welcome Brenda! Tapering is lonely work, especially when the people around you have never felt a wave hit. You came to the right place for both morale and the weird symptom comparisons. What are you tapering off of and how long have you been at it? Worth logging check ins under My Taper as you go, you will start to see your own patterns after a few weeks and it helps to have it written down. And dont be shy about jumping into other threads, your experience is exactly what someone else here is looking for tonight.

Hi Brenda I live in England and only joined this group yesterday. I was feeling quite alone in this process and quite angry that the medical profession has got me into this nightmare. I think we can all try to support each other and be there to listen so if you need to talk I'm listening.
