Please read my recent post. In all likelihood, when this particular time of unprecedented stress and anxiety is over and the pandemic has passed, you will be able to come up with a tapering plan that will ensure minimal side effects. The KEY is to taper in tiny amounts. However for NOW, I highly recommend that everyone attempting to taper at this time to refrain from doing so and resume taking the lowest dose you were on when you were symptom free. And whatever you do, put a post it where you can see it in order TO NOT FORGET TO TAKE YOUR MEDS.....we know how that feels! PLEASE READ MY RECENT POST!❤️🙏❤️
