unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about discontinuation is guesswork

Resultsbranch of 7 comments

Something I keep coming back to: unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about discontinuation is guesswork. Stretched from seven days to ten to twelve over four months. Appetite told me where the limit was each time. Went back on after eight months away. Nobody here made me feel bad about it, which mattered…

c/tapering rules
  1. Cite the discontinuation data rather than guessing at regain rates.
  2. No shaming people who restart.
  3. Say how long you were on and at what dose before you tapered.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
