Hi @Chandini, welcome to Taper Community!
We recommend Hyperbolic tapering here at Taper Community - monthly reductions of no more than 10% of the previous month's dose. The reductions will therefore get smaller and smaller as time goes on. The greatest changes in receptor occupancy happen at very low doses, so tapering this way is safer and easier on the brain. Some members can only taper by 5% or even less. Everyone is different in what their own body can handle. They key is to listen to your body and adjust your taper accordingly.
If you go to the Symptoms and Self-Care section of the forum and click on the Guides tab, you'll find lots of helpful information and tips about how to deal with any withdrawal symptoms. Also, you can use the Search feature on the Home Page.
We look forward to supporting you on your tapering and healing journey! I hope things improve for you soon. Don't be afraid to slow your taper down a bit or reduce by a lesser amount. Slower is faster.
Catina 💜
