Of course ideally one should be working with a pdoc to get off of meds, but that is not always what happens. My pdoc is much more knowledgeable and careful in how to safely go up in dose to a therapeutic level than he is in tapering down/going off them, and if I did decide to get off them he would not support that decision which would mean i would be on my own.

And pharmaceutical companies make lots of "starter packs" of psychiatric meds to slowly increase the dose but I have never heard of a "stopper pack" existing. I am not anti-meds but if I am being totally honest, they don't make it easy to get off of this ****.

Anyway I hope u can get your pdoc to help you with this; if not be safe and go slow. I agree with another poster re looking into websites/online forums that are solely dedicated to getting off of medications. Best of luck. Be safe.
Thanks for this!
