Moderator Onmyway Posted June 1, 2022 Moderator Share Posted June 1, 2022 Dear @mazlou76, welcome to SA. You need to give us a lot more information to make your post understandable. Can you please create a drug signature How to List Drug History in Signature - Introductions and updates - Surviving Antidepressants We recommend that you don't taper by more than 10% of your previous dose every 4 weeks. So if you are currently taking 125mg, you wouldn't be cutting by more than 12.5mg for your next cut. Here are some of our FAQs on tapering. Please read these topics carefully. Important topics in the Tapering forum and FAQ - Tapering - Surviving Antidepressants If you are new to withdrawal from psych drugs, I suggest that you watch this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSjYH044-2Q This is our guide on how to talk to your doctor How to talk to a doctor about tapering and withdrawal?
