Skyp, I know it is very hard to come off and takes time. If you were on 20mg every day it might be better to take 20mg every other day and then one every two days, after a month. Taking 10mg every other day sounds like an extreme reduction to me. I felt very wobbly and 'back to square one' when I first started reducing. The trick is to do it very very gradually. I cut my 20mg in halves eventually and then when I began to forget to take one I knew I was going to be ok. Give it twelve months. This is not like aspirin. Your brain needs to accept the change, even though your mind is ahead.

Yes I think they are getting me off them to quickly. I will ring the nurse at my doctors surgery tomorrow ( if I can get through)
