"He doesn’t believe that it’s necessary to taper so slowly but doesn’t have a problem with it" — @TommiWell, we know that he is mistaken. However, the fact that he's willing to support you is good.
"I’ve been tapering by myself and using a journal to document my dosage." — @TommiI hope things continue to go smoothly for you. Keep listening to your body and slow things down if your symptoms become unmanageable. Are you trying to take care of yourself when it comes to your diet and lifestyle? That can have such a bearing on how fast we heal. Looking forward to more of your updates! Keep up the great work.

"It’s nice having someone to talk to about tapering who is going through the same thing" — @TommiThat's why this community exists. I'm grateful for it too!
"I do try to eat healthy and stay active. My family and friends make my life so enjoyable" — @TommiI'm really glad you have these positive things in your life. Sometimes they can make all the difference. 🩷
"I just hate when my nervous system acts up due to stress or bad weather because intrusive thoughts appear and make my nervous system act up even more." — @TommiI understand. Your nervous system is extra sensitive right now and can be affected by things that you normally wouldn't. I'm sorry about the intrusive thoughts you're having. Here is some helpful information about it. I hope it helps! https://taper.community/thread/ffc48870-b1df-444f-a6a6-0e84d06d86a8
