Moderator Emeritus getofflex Posted March 21, 2021 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted March 21, 2021 Hello, and welcome to SA. We are a peer owned and run forum of people who have been or are getting off of psychiatric drugs. It is a good thing you are getting off before you become dependent on the drug. First of all, can you please give us specific information about your drug history? Please read the link below for instructions. This will allow us to give you the best guidance. How to List Drug History in Signature Normally we suggest tapering by 10% of your current dose on a monthly basis. But since you were on it a short time, you could possibly go faster than that. After you list your drug signature, I will know more and can make more specific suggestions. Please do not private message me. Only tag me for urgent questions about tapering and reinstating - thank you. ***Please note this is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a doctor who understands psych meds and how to withdraw from them, if you can find one.
