Did you taper or cold turkey?

I tapered! I was on 75mg and went right to 37.5mg because I was taking 37.5mg before and knew my body would be ok doing such a large jump. Then tapered 12.5mg per week until I hit zero. I know it was quick then usually recommended, however I know my body very well and what it can tolerate. Today was pretty much the same as yesterday in regards to withdrawal, maybe less nausea and brain zaps this evening. I did go out for dinner and that was definitely enough my senses could take. 💜
