I think I might need smaller dosing too. I just have so much anxiety about taking this pill. I'm suppose to take my second one tonight but think I will wait until the morning after I take my kids too school. I don't want another sleepless night.

do keep in touch ~very anxious abt this pill too.

So I took my second dose this morning and I halved it. I did have some tummy issues but nothing serious. No anxiety. I still felt some warm tingly feelings in my arms about an hr after I took it but it wasn't too bad and didn't last long.

How was the weaning off process for you? Hopefully not too bad. How long before you got back on it?

if this was meant for me.. I did it on my own and gradually cut back on the dosage.. I was on 20mg so I split into
quarters., took 15 mg for a week, then 10mg ..stayed there for 2 weeks and then to 5mg..stayed there for 2 weeks and I was off.. I remember a slight headache and a slight nausea feeling and thats all. I never had head zaps

Thanks for all the advice! I am on day 3 and I feel fine except for the burning in my arms that comes and goes. I hope it goes away. :( I also don't have much of an appetite. I'm just wondering if the burning sensation is normal.

I never got any burning sensation in my arms.I would get hot flashes and yes loss of appetite... I'm on day 9 so far side effects have lessened
