Moderator Emeritus Shep Posted April 13, 2023 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) @Fp1984 Here is the link for the Brassmonkey Slide: The Brassmonkey Slide Method of Micro-tapering You may find this works better than the daily micro taper. What has been your taper rate using the daily micro taper? Was it 10% or less in total reductions for the month? Edited April 13, 2023 by Shep fixed typo 1 Link to comment

I have been using a daily liquid micrtotaper, but it seems to catch up with me and knock me off track. What do you see as the benefits of the Brass Monkey Slide? SA user Brassmonkey has a link to a shared file, an excel spreadsheet with the calculations. You can find it somewhere on this site, sorry I don’t have a link. As far as being user friendly, you’ll need to understand Excel. The benefits for me is that it provides a precise calculation of my weekly 2.5% drops. I’m not guessing or winging it. edit - just seeing now Shep posted the link to the BM slide ✔️ 2015 - 2022: Lexapro 10-20mg, tried to taper off 3 or 4 times during this time period. 2018 - 2020: 100mg Trazodone (at night for sleep) Around mid-2020: tapered off Trazodone (took 2 or 3 months) June 2020 - March 2023: 10mg Doxepin at night for sleep (stopped cold turkey 8 March 2023) Current supplements/Rx: Fish Oil, B-Complex, Biotin, Vit C, Ca/Mg/Zn, D3, Evening Primrose, Loratadine, Valtrex, Beet root extract.
