WOW! You are down to 3 mg a day already!? Girl, that is fantastic. I mean, sheesh….that was fast!!!
You are doing great. I am really surprised at how fast you’ve gone. You are one tough cookie. Just be careful with pushing it too fast, though. I’ve gotten to a point where the emotional/mental part of this whole thing concerns me a whole lot more than the physical part. The physical stuff is annoying, but the depression/anxiety/mental weirdness can be downright unnerving. Going slowly can allow you to avoid lots of that stuff. I really believe that. I think if you go slowly enough, you give your brain time to heal little by little and won’t send it into shock nearly as much. I’m happy for you that you are already down this low and can really give yourself time at the low doses. You know how I was stuck for so long at 1 mg? Well, sometimes, it’s worth it to take a break and let your body catch up, because since then, I’ve been able to drop more without nearly as much trouble. Listen to your body! It takes a while for your whole being (body and mind) to catch up to a very rapid taper. Don’t be as afraid as I was if you start to feel like you need to stay put for a while. I believe at this point that staying put can actually be getting somewhere after all.
Of course, I feel you about wanting to pull a ‘Romeo’. Don’t we all?…..Tapering gets tiresome. If you decide to do that, let us know so we can support you as you go through it.
Hip Hip Hurray for you, Aqua!!
