Oh also I’m not sure how far into the taper you are, but if the taper is affecting you too much, you can always ask to do the taper slower- a good provider should seriously consider that unless there’s reason not to.
I apparently am really sensitive to med changes- I tried getting off Risperidone twice but became super suicidal with each taper. So on the third taper attempt, they did a significantly longer taper, over like 6 months, and it was sooooo much better.
But, if you don’t agree with the med changes they made, ask questions and voice your concerns-
