I agree with the previous p oster, This can be a dangerous drug to wean off of. You can have seizures if this is done incorrectly. You have to be under the care of a doctor while getting off this drug. Never try to do it yourself. This drug was originally intended for short term use, but some doctors put their patients on it long term, and then it causes the patient problems coming off it.

So please contact your doctor about weaning off. God bless and best of luck. Hugs, Lee
