When we taper off medications, there will inevitably be a day when we take our very last dose, this day / event is called the jump or leap and for some it's the roughest part of their taper.

The problem with not tapering enough is that some people will have this fatigue problem go on for months other people shorter times. As with PC There’s a lot of differences. I must’ve gone a month maybe a little bit more before I didn’t get exhausted in the afternoon.

I mentioned this was discussed in the online advanced prostate cancer meetings I go to every week (Ancan.org). It’s been brought up a few times during the meetings, and the reason it is being brought up is because of people having problems with the fatigue when they cut off too quickly. If tapered enough there should be no “leap”. Some past users have talked about how long they tapered and the positive results.
