Hi. If you are sure you want to stop it, then you need a good doctor to guide your getting off. It sounds like you took the first three weeks *way* too fast. My doctor says she recommends tapering off 1/2 mg per month.
Even though you've been at your current dosage for five weeks, it sounds like you are miserable and you might in fact need to increase your dosage a bit for a while. I am getting off of it myself. My doctor has given me Xanax, which is shorter acting, to smooth the transition. Good luck.
