Hi, thanks so much for your post. I was decreasing by 200mg/weekly also, I could cry for the country but am over that hopefully. I was having trouble sleeping also, and am over that (again, hopefully!). I am down to just the 200mg daily, but feel reluctant now to go all the way, its like I feel the need to keep it within my system, just in case. Its the fear of the TN monster. I hope that you are doing ok after your decrease ?

I hope I adjust and don't feel more of those things!"
I don't think I got any responses but that was my experience. Also, it could be dangerous to decrease too quickly so take it slow.
I hope it goes well for you!
