With all due respect, I vehemently disagree that the rate that Lauras meds plans to taper at is ok if she is having problems.
I realize that if someone is already tapering as slowly as they can, then there is nothing they can do about it. But she is isn't.
Obviously, it is her call as to what to do but I had to respond since she mentioned she was having problems at her current tapering rate.
Sorry, I am a little sensitive about this as tapering antipsychotics too quickly is a recipe for disaster.
