Its really interesting how the tapering works. I went from like 200mg to 100mg without a problem and then from 100mg to 50mg with no problem then going down to 0 I got terrible headaches. I ended up doing the slow tapering like you're supposed going to 25mg and waiting for a while then 0 but I still got negative side effects. Anyway, things slowly seemed to build up and eventually I was just as bad as before the medication so I had to go back up to 300mg over time.

(Just realized that different SSRIs have different treatment sizes so maybe it doesn't compare)

What sort of time period did you do the taper over? I've been working on this taper for over two years, I think.
