Always remember to eat right!
June 29, 2026··
I started this taper after I had been dieting for almost a year, and eating healthy is even more important for me now. Your nervous system is repairing, so give it as much help as you can. I try to avoid caffeine and alcohol, and I've gotten into magnesium foods. I like to consult this list: https://drteralyn.com/food-for-the-fight-how-to-support-your-brain-through-nutrition-while-tapering-off-antidepressants/
Obviously I'm not a doctor or dietician. Just friendly advice.
