Heather Ashton is performing a valuable service for the most sensitive of individuals, who thereby tend to be poorly served by conventional medical practise. In any larger group of subjects, there are going to be people who need to take extra care in managing a particular therapy, or, in this case, withdrawal from a therapy. Only you can say whether you need this special withdrawal regime, i.e. if you've had intolerable effects from a more aggressive taper.
