It's great that you're being mindful of your health, but tapering off medication should always be done under a psychiatrist's supervision. Stopping suddenly or reducing the dose incorrectly can cause withdrawal symptoms or worsen your condition. A psychiatrist can create a safe tapering plan based on your specific medication, dosage, and health needs. Please consult a professional before making any changes to ensure your well-being

Hi
What are you taking withdrawal meds for?? For every withdrawal meds, a psychological help is needed to cope with it.
Withdrawal meds will only help you physically. But to make yourself mentally stronger- so that one doesn’t go back to addiction.
A psychologist works on willpower and stabilises your emotions and thoughts

Please consult with a psychiatrist for this. Also, consider therapy for faster recovery. Try diverting yourself as much as possible. Meditation and relaxation exercise also help a great deal.

Hi, I appreciate that you reached out with your concern.
I understand your concerns about medication side effects and your desire to taper off. However, stopping psychiatric medications abruptly can lead to withdrawal symptoms or relapse. It is very important to consult your psychiatrist before making any changes to your medication regimen.
If you do not want to take medicine, you can consider therapy alongside gradual tapering to help manage your symptoms effectively. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychometric testing and other therapeutic techniques can help address the root causes of your concerns and equip you with coping strategies.
Meanwhile you may practice pranayama, deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation.
Next Steps
For psychometric testing and therapy, you may book an appointment with Rupali Mohbe/BIRDY ME at Practo
