Sorry to hear this! You've been on this drug quite a long time, so it's going to take time for your body to adjust. If things feel too overwhelming, it's okay to hold your dose awhile or reduce by a lesser amount. Always listen to what your body is telling you. 🩵 Here is some information on these symptoms and how to cope: https://taper.community/thread/16345bac-e9dc-417d-9bd3-a6e2a4cece42 https://taper.community/thread/6b89abda-daba-44c8-a68f-f09790637183
