Yeah, my psychiatrist thankfully knows what she's talking about with this sort of thing and understands the danger and how to do this safely. Right now is a good of a time as any(because no time is "good" when you have a serious mental illness pfft) for me to start tapering, and like you said I think a year is reasonable for getting off of it entirely. I'm not on a ridiculously high dose, a moderate one.

What dose were you taking before you were taken off of it?

Thanks for this!
