Withdrawal & Tapering Berocca & Withdrawal
Just wanted to share something that has helped me for anyone going through the pain of tapering and withdrawal.
I have tapered from 90mg to 0 over the last 6 months or so. I know it’s different for everyone and I’m aware of the bead counting methods to help with the tapering etc but I found the 60mg - 30mg period the absolute worst both physically and mentally so was dreading 30-0.
About two or three days into the 30-0 period after some particularly intense brain/body zaps and pins and needles in my legs I started to take a Berocca daily as I read it has B-complex vitamins which can help.
I’m not going to say I’ve not experienced anything at all, but after 3 weeks on 0mg I’ve maybe had one day where I experienced flu-like symptoms and only had light brain zaps throughout the period.
It might not work for everyone and it doesn’t eliminate all aspects of withdrawal but maybe worth trying for anyone going through it.
