I drove myself nuts for over a year trying to taper because I thought I couldn't survive getting off such a high dose. You know what happened to me? I ended up taking even more. So I just decided that enough is enough and I was strong enough to get through whatever happened. Today I have been off them for 15 days. And I am alive and doing better every day. You can do this, really you can. Is it going to suck? Absolutely! But please when people tell you that it will get better, please hold on to that because it really does get better. I am no where near out of the woods yet but I am amazed at how quickly these 15 days have passed. Not while I was going through it that's for sure, every minute felt like an eternity but I promise you it will get better and every day it will get easier. My best advice is to stop taking those pills right now and just get it over with. And once you do, keep as busy as you can. Even when you think you can't move-get up and move anyway. Stay as busy as you possibly can and it will make time pass more quickly. Laying around dwelling on it only makes it worse. I am amazed at how well I am doing after only 15 days. I was taking 14-16 Vic 10's for over fifteen years! Control your mind-your body will follow. I promise you from the bottom of my heart.
