Thanks

you are doing a quick tapper and feeling it. i did a pretty slow tapper for 1 month and had only shaking hands. pretty bad though and it lasted for a couple of weeks after i had quit completely. but the rest of my body never had any shakes.

Worried may have the answer. If you can, maybe it's time to just quit. It might be a bit rougher than right now but it will end. When you taper, you are in a form of withdrawals as long as you are tapering.

So you have not totally quit yet?  I did hear a person who regualated to a dose after a few days...not everyone does tho and do not feel well thru a taper...if u dont adjust to the 40 mg in the next few days it may be easier to jump off and quit instead of prolonging things...it is a unique decision and everyone is different

Congratulations Debbie..You are doing great. I would say to give your body a week or so to get used to it...it seems the last mgs are always the hardest..Keep up the good work..

Any day now....I hated that part....RLS too....I think hot baths and exercise are the only things you can do until your body takes over....
