I see so many posts that say you can't quit... YOU CAN!!! It was not fun but I am thrilled to be done with them :-) If you ween yourself off of them over the course of a week or two, you will have some pain, and a sleepless night in there somewhere, but it isn't too bad. YOU CAN DO IT! I came off of them over the course of nine days. I spent nine days coming down bit by bit. It isn't the best time you will have in your life, but you can do it if you decide to be tough. Take a fourth of your normal dose to start and step down from there. Don't be scared... fear is your worst enemy when you are trying to quit... you will be fine :-)
