If it happened immediately it is most likely the placebo effect. However stopping them can be very problematic and people who do try to quit need medical or pharmacist support to very, very slowly titrate dosages down. Like way more slowly than you can imagine. And some people may be able to reduce their dose but not quit completely which is okay. (Not medical advice).

Define immediatly. This was 6 or 7 yrs ago, I don't remember exactly how long. My best recollection was I took the first dose one morning, and it seemed like felt a difference later that evening, but it may have been the 2nd day. I tried several other pills and natural remedies that people told me would help, before this one, and they didn't give me any placebo effect, they had little if any effect at all. I had never heard of this one before I started taking it, I had no reason to believe it would work, but it did. I am quite certain it is not the placebo effect. And I can handle my own titration thank you very much, no need for medical or pharmacist support. Been there done that, they just ask how I'm feeling and then adjust based on what I tell them. I don't need them in the feedback loop, I can see how it makes me feel and adjust accordingly all by myself. Honestly I despise being required to get prescriptions for meds, the laws should allow those who are capable of self medicating to do so, would be a lot cheaper and easier. I would happily sign a liability waiver saying I am responsible for everything that happens. I have experimented with drugs all my life.

Good. It sounds like you know what you are doing. I wrote that because some people taper too quickly and have a hard time. Even doctors sometimes tell people to stop too quickly.
