Hi, I'm Dolly

Well hello Dolly! (Sorry, couldn't resist) Welcome to the TC 🙂 You'll probably get a small variety of opinions, but probably most will be yes, start slowly tapering him off them, depending on how he symptomatically reacts. Here's a great article that describes how best to taper: https://taper.community/resources/blog/hyperbolic-tapering-explained But only taper 1 drug at a time... usually the most recent 1st if he hasnt been on it long Best wishes 🙏

Hi @Dolly, welcome to Taper Community! It's commendable you're helping your son. Yes, only taper one drug at a time. We recommend Hyperbolic tapering here at TC - 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 symptoms become severe, then that is a sign he would need to slow his taper down by holding longer between reductions or reducing by a lesser amount. We don't want to keep pushing through symptoms. Slower is faster. 👍 If you go to the Tapering Protocols, Symptoms & Self-Care, and I Need Support sections of the forum and click on the Guides tab, you'll find lots of helpful advice and tips. The Resources section also has lots of helpful information. Also, here is some information for family members: https://taper.community/thread/ecea5d5c-ab7a-43f4-80b2-994bbee9fbf8 Hope this helps!
