Hi, I'm Kako

Hi @Kako, welcome to Taper Community! Nice to have you with us. There is no judgment here. We're all here to support one another and are in this together! I understand your concern about the side effects of your drugs. Both SSRIs and antipsychotics can have unpleasant side effects that affect our health. Please have a look around the site; there's lots of helpful information and resources. 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. 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. We look forward to supporting you on your tapering and healing journey whenever you're ready to take the next step! Warmly, Catina 💜

Thank you, Catina, for your warm welcome and helpful advice. I appreciate the support and will explore the resources. I want to understand the process carefully and prioritize safety and my overall wellbeing. 💜
