Hi @Matt A, welcome to Taper Community! It's great to have you here. We understand and support your desire to want to taper off your drugs. When dealing with more than one drug, you'll want to taper just one at a time. You can read about Hyperbolic tapering in the Resources section. Take your time and go slow with your taper, listening to your body and holding your dose if necessary. Holding is an important part of this process too. Here are some links to get you started: https://taper.community/drugs/wellbutrin https://taper.community/drugs/lexapro Have a look around the site and feel free to jump in and contribute if you'd like. Catina ❤️

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg
