Hi, I'm Miguel

introduction

I am helping my wife find a way of reducing her meds. I am tired of the cycle of doctors throwing medication at a perceived problem. We are on the here try this cycle. If medication does not work, the person on the medication suffers. And the entire family suffers.

Hi @Miguel! A very warm welcome to you. 💜 It's wonderful that you're helping your dear wife in this way. Family support is so important. So we can best help you both, we will need a drug history overview of what drugs she's on, the doses, and the dates of when she started them. You can click here and scroll down to Add Drug History to provide this information...thanks! https://taper.community/settings Please feel free to learn about Hyperbolic tapering in the Learn section of the site (on the left side). When dealing with multiple drugs, it's best to taper only one at a time. I created this document for family members to help them better understand psychiatric drug withdrawal and how they can help their loved one. I hope it helps! https://taper.community/thread/ecea5d5c-ab7a-43f4-80b2-994bbee9fbf8 Happy to have you here! Catina ❤️

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 18.88 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg
