    My doc wanted me to drop 75 mg a week. Even AI/Gemini told me whoa nelly, that's a big drop (I talk TMS with it a lot). My doc even originally told me I could drop it cold turkey and I was like uh, no way.

    I have been through protracted withdrawal myself. The fear of coming off does not help and I bemieve can keep.you suffering longer. However it is a very real thing.
    Coming off slowly is much better for you. Your brain feels safer, it gives it time to adjust and its just generally kinder to do so.

    Dont be afraid to do. I found once I was off it was much easier for me to access my emotions again.

    But slow and steady wins the race.
