Re: Please help with taper table
Hi Jono,
I had been on 12mg daily for 7 months when I first started to taper. My GP was great and said to just take it at my own pace. So I started by reducing 1mg a day every 2 weeks. By the time I got down to 8mg, I was having some rebound anxiety so I stayed at 8 for a couple of months. Things settled down eventually.
I had a relapse last July caused by stress at work. My GP put me back up to 15mg a day...I stayed on this dose for 2 weeks just to give me some 'mind space'. I then started to reduce by 1mg a day every month. I am now back down to 8mg a day and doing fine.
I believe I was tapering too quickly the first time around. All I can say is take it slow, the slower the better. You will know how you feel. I am worse in the mornings so I started reducing my later doses first. This seemed to work better for me. I certainly don't think it's something you can rush especially when you have been on them long term. I hope this helps you a little.
I wish you the best of luck with it. Kitti
