Hi Chris,
No one needs to be on 8mg of subs for three months.Depression and panic attacks are very normal.The normal tapering process is 25% every 4 days.
I went from 8mg to 6mg during my taper.I would drop to 6mg twice a day for the next 4 days minimum and let us know how you are doing before you taper again.The reason for tapering every 4 days is that the half life is about 72 hrs. this will give your body time get to stable and let you know how you are reacting to each taper. If you have problems or questions just post.Robert or I will reply back. Robert is the sub expert and was the one that walked me through my taper.If you need help with cutting dose's I have a great way to get them accurate.Just let me know.You should do fine.What were you taking prior to the subs and how long.
Hope this helps,
Pam

Hello Chris,
I feel your pain. Although I can't give you advice...I CAN RELATE! I have been on the subs for close to a year. I know that HOPE IS FOUND ON THIS SITE. You are not alone my friend. We can get through this.
Much Love,
