If you are only on 1 1/2 a day, I would say most of it is mental by now. I would just stop now and get it over with...you can do it!

I did the taper as well and it does get easier once you are finally off the pills. I personally didnt have the severe withdrawls with the taper as I did with cold turkey. You will feel better soon! Getting out and staying busy helped me with the withdrawls. I hope you feel better soon and wish you the best!!!

Are you on 3rd week of a taper? and down to 1 1/2 per day? If that is the case, I would jump off, meaning time to quit. You will feel like you have the flu for 3-5 days (the first 3 days being worst) or you can continue to taper. Main thing is you want quit. I had a much larger habit for about 3 yrs and quit CT. Unless you are unhealthy, it is safe. It wouldn't hurt to ck with Dr. and tell him/her what you are doing, plus my Dr. prescribed me Clonidine, which helped with withdrawls. In the health pages on top right corner of home page there is the Thomas recipe and the Amino Acid protocol tha can help with WD symptoms. Even with a taper it would help. I am on day 24 and would be glad to share my experiences if it would help, can kinda let you know what to expect. Best of luck, God Bless.

I really believ that since you have cut back to 1.5 per day, your withdrawl wouldn't be too bad.
