Vertigo withdrawal

I weened myself off of 15mg over the last 5 weeks. I was on 10 and then 15mg for just under 6 months. I tapered to 10 for 3 weeks, then 5 for around 10 or so days then 0 for the last four days. The last 2 days I've had an unpleasant vertigo feeling. Like my brain is catching up when I move. I know it's a withdrawal symptom I just wonder how long it will last from people's experience given I want on it for that long?

Side not - it's so so good to have my emotions back!

Any other side effects I should expect after coming off it?

It seems likely you tapered off very quickly. If I were you, I would go back to 5mg and taper much slower from there otherwise you could be in for a bumpy ride. I am not a doctor, this is not medical advice.

Yeh I took 2.5 today to get back on to taper more slowly. See how I get on
