Hi, I'm Terry Zzz

Hi@Terry Zzz, welcome to Taper Community! Many people share your same feelings and concerns about these drugs. Over time they can begin to do more harm than good. We understand and support your desire to taper off. Are you planning on tapering the Xanax too? You want to make sure you taper only one drug at a time. 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! Catina 🩷
