TaperWise Coaching — Personalised, gradual, documented

How coaching works

A plan first, then a person to pace it with you

Four sessions of work, not four boxes to tick — this is the actual order a taper gets built and lived in.

Free intro call

30 minutes to talk through your current medication, dose, history, and what "too fast" has felt like before.

Personalised taper plan

A hyperbolic or micro-tapering schedule — whichever suits your medication, formulation and sensitivity — laid out clearly enough to hand to a GP or psychiatrist.

Ongoing coaching

Regular check-ins between reductions to track symptoms, hold the pace, and work through the anxiety, low mood, or OCD-type patterns that can come up mid-taper — practical coping tools alongside the medical side.

Handoff-ready records

Your updated plan and symptom log stay shareable throughout, so your prescriber is never working from a gap.

The package

Everything sits around one document: your plan

Coaching is the support. The plan is the artifact — the thing that makes your taper legible to you and to whoever's prescribing.

Two strategies, one goal: no bigger step than your body can absorb

Hyperbolic tapering — each reduction is a percentage of your current dose, so steps shrink automatically as you get lower.

Micro-tapering — smaller, more frequent reductions on a tighter interval, often used where formulation or sensitivity calls for finer control.

Which one fits is part of what we work out on the intro call.

What "shareable with prescribers" actually means

Your plan sets out the medication, formulation, current dose, proposed reduction steps, and rationale in one place — so a conversation with your GP or psychiatrist starts from a document, not a memory of a TikTok.

What to expect

The dose comes down in a straight line. Symptoms don't.

Even on a well-paced taper, most people get "windows" of feeling steady and "waves" where symptoms flare — often for no obvious reason. That's normal, not a sign the plan has failed. Coaching is about riding out the waves without abandoning the pace.

Symptoms — windows & waves Dose — the plan

Portrait of the coach behind TaperWise Coaching

Who's coaching you

Coaching from someone who reads the literature and tapers his own dose

TaperWise is built on the same principles shared on @the_taper_man — deprescribing research from Horowitz, Fava, Cosci and Framer, translated into plans people can actually follow and prescribers can actually read.

This isn't medical treatment, and it doesn't replace your prescriber. It's the coaching and documentation layer that sits between you and them — so the pace is planned, tracked, and never a surprise to anyone in the room.
