Hi ~ Tapering 50mg per week is too fast!! I would not taper any more than 10mg per week -- and that might even cause problems, but certainly not to the point that 50mg would! That's excessive!!
No wonder you felt awful and had to go to the hospital !! Whoever told you to taper like that surely doesn't understand medications & the body's reaction to stopping them!!
I hope you're feeling better now. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
