I have hit my first goal of being down to 100 mgs. as of Sat. Oct 2nd. I'm down 50 mgs and will continue to lower my dosage until I'm at zero. I think that is pretty good for having started this process at the beginning of Sept. If I can get down another 50 mgs by the end of October, I will be happy with that. I had to go down to this last dosage a little slower than at the beginning.
I only went from 110 to 105 and then from there to 100. I will stay here at this level 2 weeks unless I feel like I'm doing real well, then I may take it down 10 mgs. I felt a little "bubble headed" yesterday which is only 2 days after lowering the dosage. I have noticed an increase in the appetite for sweets or chips or stuff I really need to stay away from if I want to lose any weight. I don't really care for the airy head feeling, so we'll see how that goes. I noticed today that I was a little irritable, but it seems to correlate with my old cycle as well, so it's really hard to tell since those symptoms are the same as the withdrawal symptoms.
I feel I have made great progress thus far and will continue the voyage down ward until I can be free of this medication. One thing that has improved somewhat, is the horrible sweating. It doesn't seem to be as frequent as it was and my energy level has been pretty good. The next update will be when I decrease the dosage again.
