taper update

Feeling good. No specific symptoms. I am starting today, by stopping Paxil and see how I do. I can always reinstate back to 2.5mg if I feel I need to. I was on 10mg for 5 months before I started to taper. My taper was 7.5mg for 4 weeks, 5mg for 5 weeks, 2.5mg for 4 weeks. I have tapered for a little over 3 months, almost as long as I was taking the drug.

Yes, I put it in my medication signature but I tried to change it for my taper but it still stayed the same. It's on the check in but not on my taper part.
