Hi BrighterDays,

Welcome back! I am so glad you got over feeling embarassed and came back to the forum. Just because you had a hard time with your taper doesn’t mean you can’t be of help to someone else. I have had so many ups and downs during my taper it’s crazy. I joined here last year when I first started my treatment and once I got comfortable I quit coming. Now that I’m tapering I’m back and have learned just as much this time around as I did when I was here at the beginning. There are so many knowledgeable people here that really want to help…I’m sure you know that already though. So we can do this together! Just so you know, I’m down to 1mg now. It’s been tough but I’m making it, and I know when I get through it I am going to be such a strong person nobody will ever stop me from doing anything again! I think the struggle makes it even more precious.

I’m sorry I can’t help you with your side effects, but I bet someone will be able to give you some advice on it soon. As for the tips for tapering…I would recommend eating healthier, take a good daily vitamin and maybe some b-12 or b-complex. And I am hearing everyone saying excersize, excersize, excersize. I have been hit and miss at that, but I am planning on getting a routine going shortly. My doctor recommended yoga to me the other day. I think that might be a good fit to start with, then maybe work up to something higher impact from there. I’ll let ya know how it goes.

Glad you came back… keep posting!
