So sorry to hear how you are feeling! It took me a month to taper off.
I began by cutting down the dosage by 1/4 the original dose each day for one week. Then to 1/2 for another week, then to 3/4 the original dose for a week. This is when I went to every other day then stopped completely when I did not notice any withdrawal symptoms.
I would think you need to keep the medicine in your system at all times because this is what your body is used to. You just lower the amount gradually over time allowing your body to adjust slowly.
