Going from 10 to 0: is apparently too much of a drop in dose to stave off withdrawal symptoms. You have two options. Cold turkey withdrawal (which may last several days) or go back to a tapering dose. Keep in mind that you are looking for long term solutions. You should feel comfortable obtaining the advice and support of a local physician in these matters. If you need help with a referral please let us know.
