Concussion,

Thanks for this info, I came off it previously cold turkey on 30mg and the withdrawal wasn't so bad.

I think it is more difficult this time because I went up to 60mg and have been on it for longer. I imagine some of the people on the above sites have been on it for years - hence the severe withdrawal.

I am confident about the withdrawal, I have counted all the beads and have two weeks of capsules ready in date order.

In relation to the drug itself, I have no complaints, it has been instrumental in my recovery and I have no regrets whatsoever about taking it. God forbid I ever have a concussion again, but if I do it is the first thing I will be asking for!
