Withdrawal

From above you can see I stepped down from 125mcg to 12.5. Yes I had a few ups and downs but never like going from 25 to 12.5. I am shaking, anxious, have akasthesia, diarrhea and most of all I feel so tired I can't move....all achy. I don't want to go back up on the dose but I also don't want to suffer. I have. Been on this a year.

Please advise! How long to get accustomed  to 12,5?  

Thank you.

Sorry for all the posts, I was really feeling horrible when I initially wrote my comments. Carisoprodol is 300 qd.

I tapered down in 12.5mcg from 125 to 12.5. Really haven't had any problems until going from 25 to 12.5. I did not do anything different.
