[Discussion] restarting is not failing and we should say that louder
restarting is not failing and we should say that louder. I have gone back and forth on this for months. Wrote down where I was before changing anything. That single page made the following six months interpretable. Nothing on this board is a taper schedule, and no member can write one for another. What can be shared…

Yes — have the conversation before rather than after. That is the one piece of process advice this board can give.

Has appetite changed yet, independent of the scale?
nobody here can write you a taper schedule
nobody here can write you a taper schedule

Had the conversation with a clinician before stopping rather than after. Considerably easier that way round.

ilias_nakamura is right that regain is a documented outcome rather than a character verdict.
