I just wanted to Thank everyone for all their support and help with my Taper . I am on 1.5 pills now so thats 7.5 mg.'s  a day. I started at 10 pills 50 mg.'s a day, and its been hard mostly mental and a littel anxiety, I had a acouple of  days were I cheated but then I got right back on the wagon. Without finding this forum I probably would of been taking more than 10 pills a day by now. It was a slow taper and then I kinda speeded it up and it worked better every 3-4 days I dropped a pill. =) My Life is going good and I am excersing and that helps so muich.  At first I didn't have the energy but then I made Myself so Not only am I getting off these pills but I am losing weight.
