Hi I'm interested in this topic. I did not know it was a thing - just told to "stay the course" by doctors.
Prozac — 60 mg — 18 years — researching taper | Vyvanse — 30 mg — 2 years — supporting others | Mirtazapine — 15 mg — 4 years — researching taper

Hi @Corin, and welcome! Yes, safe deprescribing is a "thing," and it's slowly gaining traction in the field of psychiatry. Doctors don't give much thought to taking people off drugs; they're only trained to put people on them.
You've come to the right place to learn all about Hyperbolic tapering. Are you looking for a deprescribing provider or do you plan to discuss tapering with your current physician?
Have a look around the site and let us know if you have any questions!
