Hi, I'm Rubybill

Hi @Rubybill, welcome to Taper Community! Your friend is fortunate to have someone like you in their corner. I'm sorry your friend has been through all that. It's good that she's free of the illicit drugs and is now ready to begin tapering the psych drugs. What drugs is she is on currently? When dealing with multiple drugs, it's best to taper just one at a time. You can read about Hyperbolic tapering in the Resources section. It's going to be the safest way for her to get off. Yes, doctors are trained to only view these drugs as helpful and never harmful, which many times they can be. If your friend would like to discuss the subject with her doctors, here is some information that can help: https://taper.community/thread/dbb2cdbb-bb3d-4bb9-93ab-b33de4a3fd0b https://taper.community/resources/blog/how-to-talk-to-your-doctor-about-tapering https://taper.community/resources/blog/what-to-do-when-your-doctor-refuses-to-taper-you Also, since you're kind enough to assist your friend, here is some information that will help you to help her: https://taper.community/thread/ecea5d5c-ab7a-43f4-80b2-994bbee9fbf8 We're here to help the best we can so reach out anytime!
