Hi, I'm James

Hi @James, welcome to Taper Community! 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. The key is to listen to your body, and if symptoms become too bothersome then that is a sign to slow things down. 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. We look forward to supporting you on your tapering and healing journey!
