Tapering (educational)

Taper visualizer

An educational illustration of what a gradual step-down can look like in general shape, to help you ask better questions. It does not prescribe a taper, recommend a dose, or replace your clinician.

Read this first. This is an educational illustration of what a gradual step-down can look like in general shape. It is not a dosing schedule, not a recommendation, and not medical advice. Only your clinician can decide whether, when, and how to change a dose. Bring your questions to them.

What the research suggests (to discuss, not to act on)

  • A gradual step-down may soften the appetite rebound versus stopping abruptly.
  • For some people, a clinician may consider a lower or less-frequent maintenance dose.
  • Microdosing (sub-approved doses) is not a recommended practice.
  • Building the four pillars before any change is the part you control.
