I don’t remember for sure how long my taper took. It was a long time ago that I took it. It probably was between 12 -18 months. That isn’t all that long for some people while others think it’s to long. However my taper was uneventful. I also can stop a medication relatively quickly. Also when tapering it’s important to keep in mind the length of time your on the medicine and also the strength. I was on a very high dose, 18mg. When I was ready to finally stop altogether I still needed to take a very small dose, chips actually until I could completely quit.
Good luck,
Jake
Everyone is different in how they respond to various meds. I am someone who does not absorb meds very readily so it was easier for me. I cut down by .5 each time and I had about 2 weeks between cuts. Others in here have had to cut much less at a time and for much longer periods of time between cuts.
