I am here 🙂

Roger – I can only tell you what worked for me – your own situation may be very different. And its important to note whilst I’ve overcome physical dependence, psychological dependence is the next stage – and this has caused me to relapse.

I have always used a taper method, with other supplements to help.

As per my first post – I use the short taper method at first – dropping from high doses (300mg+ a day) at 60mg less each day – then lengthening the taped at low doses – dropping 30mg and then 15mg a day after that.

The supplements I take are 5-HTP and vitamin B these really help. Anti-diarrhoea medication will be needed at some point – this also needs care in its use – allow yourself some visits to the toilet each day before taking a tablet.

This method will cause discomfort, but it is not too bad – exercise of any kind, even just going for a walk helps immensely.

If you feel you can or want to share your own situation maybe we can help more?
