Need help with SR

I had a much more elaborate post written out but it didn’t stay up for some reason. I’ll make this one shorter and try keeping the main points. I was a 2yr 200 mg 7OH user. Note that it was only that high for the past 3-4 months or so. I have decided to try sr. I started taking 50mg around 5pm yesterday then another 50 before bed. I tried to skip my late night 7OH dose and woke up around 3am sweating bad and having very vivid dreams. Took a lil 7 and went back to sleep. Today I dropped my daughter off at babysitter and took 50mg sr. Felt ok better than I thought but then the anxiety and depression kicked in. I tried to just take sr and took 50mg more around 2pm. As well as 20mg 7oh. The depression didn’t go away so I took 50mg more sr around 4pm along with 20mg 7oh. Still the depression didn’t subside. The physical withdrawal has been minimal other than sweats and not much appetite plus fatigue. But I’ve definitely been feeling the anxiety/depression. I took 20mg more 7oh just now and finally feel a little better but I’m a little freaked out about the sr. I’m wondering if I should just taper. To be fair the fact that I’ve only taken 60mg 7oh today is nothing short of a miracle to where I was at before the sr. But I never heard other ppl talking about experiencing depression while introducing the SR. Did I cut back the 7 too quick?? Should I continue with what I’m doing tomorrow?? I plan to take 20mg more 7oh tn before bed along with 50mg SR. Bringing my day (1.5) total to 200mg sr and 80mg 7OH. I just don’t want to experience the depression/ anxiety feeling again tomorrow. Should I slow my 7 taper or try to jump off tomorrow if I’m not feeling the depression?? How long before I taper the SR. Is it possible the sr just doesn’t agree with me and that’s why I got depressed so quick?? Thank you and sorry if this post is hard to follow. I had a well thought out better worded post sent earlier but it got taken down I’m assuming for mentioning where I got my SR?? Please respond with some advice I’m afraid that a took a research chemical that permanently messed up my dopamine or something. I’d like advice on if I should just stop the sr if that was what I was experiencing. Or maybe I just tried to cut my 7dose to low too quickly??
