All the discomfort you feel will have an end. Guess that is what I told myself getting off a medication. You need your doctor to address your discomfort more. My doctor gave klonopin which took the edge off the first several months. If you can reduce at a slower rate, the symptoms may ease up. I know it isn't fun. I know another person on NT, going through this same issue with your same medication. He had tapered himself down. It is really important however that your doctor be a big part of this. He needs to support you while you don't feel very well. Keep as hydrated as you can be. Keep coming back. All of us who have gone through similar issues will be here to give support. ginnie
