I was on this for 1 1/2 years when I decided to come off it. I took it really slowly, gradually reducing the dose and I had no side effects. It's probably a good time to come off it since you're doing well and have the support of a 12 step programme. And if at any time you feel like you're slipping you can always increase the dose. I guess you won't know if you're really ready to come off it unless you try. Stay in contact with your GP and discuss what you should do if you're having any bad side effects.
Best of luck,
Take care Xx
