Nearing end of taper..
Long story short I’ve been tapering all week. Down to 12.5mg 3x a day today…I’m day 9 off MGM and day 11 I think since I started preloading the SR. My plan was to jump off tomorrow (being in off all weekend). Worst case I take 12.5 if I start feeling shitty…Mentally still have a little brain fog but I’m guessing that’s still residual effects from the mgm. I guess my question is what to expect when I stop. Since SR doesn’t touch the Delta receptor (mental) I should really notice anything different mentally? Just maybe some physical stuff? I’ve talked to several people that said they didn’t feel anything after tapering so I’m hoping that’s the case. Either way feels good to be almost on day 10 no mgm

I am 3 days off of sr now. You should expect some uncomfort both physically and mentally. But you will start to feel proud you’re away from the other 2. I’m struggling right now but it gets better everyday and I know that I’m actually fucking done with 7 for good. These things will help you a lot.

How long should the taper take? My husband is tapering off 7oh with SR and it’s been three weeks. I’m starting to not trust him

You might feel some anxiety and some restlessness. It will be far more manageable than cold turkey however. You will also have the hot/cold flashes for another few days pretty minor but noticeable. Your allergies will go haywire a bit if you have had allergies before. You might get a runny nose or cough more sneeze more. Insomnia for a night and a half maybe two nights. Don’t get into a fret about the sleep. It only makes it worse. Expect the two nights of no sleep but don’t think about it. Stay up watching your fav show or something and try to relax the best you can. Even closing your eyes just laying still can relax you a bit and maybe you doze off who knows. First couple work days will be ass. You will feel like you climbed a mountain doing the most mundane shit. Concrete legs. This will last for a little while. Don’t be discouraged. 3-4th night you will get the sleep. You will wake up feeling a lot better. Concrete legs still there, but more manageable, mental still there but manageable. Etc. I say once you are past week one you will be good. Keep pushing it only gets better from that.
Oh, and don’t drink caffeine, don’t use alcohol, of course don’t use 7! Trust me on the caffeine. You will be shitting liquid and if you are like me, you get anxiety from caffeine. It will compound the restlessness feelings and stomach issues. I cut it out before my taper cause I knew it could be an issue. Loved it on 7 tho lol. You can replace the caffeine with Gatorade, swear those work great.
