I was careful, but it was not under a doctor's guidance. Over time I had tapered from 60mg to 40mg to 20mg. I was on 20 for quite a few months and then just bailed. I was on 20 for years during the marriage. I just felt it was time to move along.
I was fortunate and did not have any serious withdrawal symptoms at all -- my IC told me that it cab feel like "lighten bolts striking across your brain" - but I had none of that at all. There was a day or two where I felt like I was fighting off the urge to cry, but that was about it. I would not recommend what I did to anyone, though -- I was just physiologically lucky I guess....the ball could have bounce in a totally different direction.
