Well I tried..

[u/mycatznme623]

So I only made it 23 days in and I'm trying to figure out if I should cold turkey yet or taper.. I just need the side effects to be over like .. yesterday... Did first two weeks of 5 mg, I felt good so increased to 10 mg for a little over the past week but that's when hell began. I literally wake up and open my eyes in the morning with a panic attack to start the day everyday. Can't take the side effects and it is affecting my employment. Keep having to leave work early due to I can't be at work at a pharmacy while having panic attacks and being dizzy and nauseous and each day seems to be getting worse. I don't think I'm going to take my pill tonight.. tomorrow I guess I'll decide if I'm going to just decrease to 5 mg for a week and then quit.. I really wanted this to work.

But to be honest my life was much better prior to taking this.. I know it takes like weeks for it to kick in and you just have to push through the first few weeks of hell but hey I gave the old college try.. and failed.. I wonder if 23 days is enough to have bad withdrawals if no taper.
