Nowadays I feel like you. I used to have a much more open attitude towards the EU and voted for it when it was on the ballot here in Switzerland. But if it should come up again, I probably will vote no.

Like you, I really have learned to appreciate our bottom-up democracy, though I must admit currently I am bitting a little my nails and hope that this weekend it will be again a pragmatic election here in Switzerland. Even if the SVP should win, we still can take up the referendum if they try to impose stuff on us and many new laws have to be but to the people for confirmation anyway. I am just not willing to give that up, especially seeing how this new EU treaty might be forced on to the people in the EU without public discussion.
