Ottonymous: preparing to come off... seeking advice

[composter]

Hi Ottonymous,

 

I think it’s a solid idea that you’re planning to focus on your health and nutrition before starting a taper. Since you’ve been on the site for a few years I trust you understand the importance of a slow taper. You can use the time right now to read through tapering advice for the medications you are on.
 

Hopefully a very slow taper will go smoothly for you and you can feel like yourself. You’re right, it’s important not to dwell on things you can’t change and to focus on the present. 
 

Perhaps you can meet with a dietitian? They are trained to provide individualized nutrition therapy for things like anemia, thyroid conditions, and healthy eating in general. I find that reading books from medical experts on the subject can also help. 
 

Eat well, rest well, and stay active with time spent outdoors if you can. There’s no rush to taper just yet.
