Hi @Amy, welcome to Taper Community! I'm glad to hear you're tapering slowly and seem to have a good pulse on things. Are you tapering Hyperbolically? I will tag our @Celexa people so they can offer their input, although any members will be glad to respond. We look forward to having you here....reach out anytime! Catina 💜

Hi Catina, thank you for the welcome. No, my taper hasn't been hyperbolic. Ive just completed 2 weeks at 5mg and feeling better as in the symptoms have eased.
