- 2.5 weeks off still early days.. however! After a water taper that was paused over 3 years ( due to pollydrugging and having to taper other drugs too ) I'm off!
Lorazepam - Jump off dose was 0.01 - water taper. 0.5 mg - 0mg
Same for quetiapine jumped off at 0.01 - dry cut all the way down. 400 mg - 0mg
I had to navigate my taper and make hard decisions a long the way as to which to do when! But with help from Hans who is great with his knowledge and instinct I felt confident when making the decisions, and followed them.
Clean diet, sober now for 4 years, no caffeine, and little amounts of sugar, I can't eat processed sugars, very rev. No supplements, I added nothing new. Just healthy eating.

I am so so sorry for how your parents treated you. Devastating. It's so unbelievable for family to do this when you are at your lowest suffering.
Thank you Stevie it was very shocking .. as much as it’s very hard to have someone suffering constantly I still think there were better ways to treat me! It felt very shocking and cold 😮disappointing!
