Good preperation is key, well done! Don‘t taper too many meds at once. If found dexamphetmine more easy to taper and i believe the tapentadol might help a little to curb withdrawl symptoms while i think it might also be easier to taper off than SSRI. I‘m not a clinician but i would be interested in how many meds you are actively tapering right now. Stay safe, do it slow one after another and write about your progress 👍💪

Since October last year...
500mg Tapentadol - 200
20mg Paroxetine - 2.2
30mg Mirtazapine - 15
!0mg Valium - 2
Still going hard on Paroxetine. Cutting to 1.8 tomorrow. Its the only medication holding me back. I need to get my CYP2D6 enzyme functioning again, so I can metabolise the ADHD meds.
Paxil — 2.5 — 24 years — reinstated | Mirtazapine — 15mg — 3 — reinstated | Valium — 2.5 — 7 months — actively tapering | without clinician Also tapering Tapentadol and dexamphetamine
Wow thats a lot you accomplished!👍 Please stay cautious to not catch a crash my friend. Do you feel the amphetamine stays active too long, like sleep problems? As those are also very common in Antidepressant withdrawl.
I‘m rooting for your success 👍
