Please taper under a Dr who knows how to do this. Tapering to soon, to much can produce unwanted side effects…..
This is the DSNS taper plan. Considered the gold standard in the UK. Many people swear by it, but for some it doesn't work. Me included. I discovered a flaw at the turnaround. If you lay it out on a calendar - starting on a Sunday. You will find the the week before the turnaround gives you 2 days on the new dose, and then the following week, you get (I think it's) 5 new dose and 2 old dose. That's a big jump for someone who's trying to take it slow. And it caused me problems twice before I figured out what the problem was. If you go on healthunlocked.com/pmrgcauk and go to the FAQ's section - find tapering and look for DL's plans as other options. I have better luck with them. DL stands for Dorset Lady.
