You are bound to have few side affects when you've been on them so long.
I was on marplan and amitripyline for ten years when i was younger and i suffered quite badly when i came off of them.
I remember sleeping most of the day and feeling so ill with all sorts of symptoms.
You just need to do it really slowly, i used to cut mine into quarters in the end but a few weeks after i completely stopped them i felt so much better than when i was on them.
