TaperCommunityTaperCommunity is a peer support forum for people tapering psychiatric medications. We continue the mission of SurvivingAntidepressants.org (SA.org), which provided 15+ years of invaluable support before going read-only in January 2026.
SurvivingAntidepressants.org was the gold-standard peer support community for psychiatric drug withdrawal. Founded in 2011, it accumulated thousands of personal tapering stories, pioneered the 10% tapering rule in the peer community, and helped countless people safely reduce their medications.
When SA.org went read-only, the community lost its primary gathering place. TaperCommunity was built to fill that gap — replicating SA.org's depth of information architecture while providing a modern, accessible experience.
We advocate for the 10% rule: reduce by no more than 10% of your current dose. Every person is different — there is no one-size-fits-all taper schedule.
We are peers sharing our experiences, not doctors. We never give specific dosing advice. All medication decisions should be made with a qualified healthcare provider.
Our guidelines reference the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines, the Ashton Manual, and published clinical research. We distinguish between peer experience and clinical evidence.
Each person has the right to make informed decisions about their own medication. We provide information and support — never judgment.
Start with our tapering guidelines to understand the 10% rule and available methods.

TaperCommunity is a peer support platform. Content shared here is based on personal experiences and should not replace professional medical advice. Never adjust your medication without consulting a qualified healthcare provider. Withdrawal from psychiatric medication can be dangerous — always taper under medical supervision.
