Medical Doctor. Ungovernable. Building a platform for Deprescribing: TaperCommunity

Joined February 2025
Introducing Taper.Community A peer-support forum and personal taper-tracking platform. When SurvivingAntidepressants. org went read-only, thousands tapering psychiatric medications lost their home. So I built a new one — plus new tools. Track your taper. Visualize waves and windows. See how your mood changes as your dose changes: ⬇️⬇️

The age of infinite SSRIs is upon us.
Today, Nolla Health became the first organization in the U.S. (and possibly the world) to receive regulatory approval for an AI to issue initial prescriptions. This makes Nolla the first ever actual end-to-end AI doctor.

If you want to improve tapering success, adding a therapist is paramount. In one trial, CBT raised benzo discontinuation success from ~25% to 70–80%. Not a marginal improvement.

This is why we built a network of therapists who are familiar with psychiatric med withdrawal. They support patients through their tapers, working alongside the prescriber. Tapering alone shouldn't be the default. Come check it out with the link below 👇 taper.community/therapists

More than 1000mg of psych meds reduced in Taper Community! When starting the site, I thought 1000mg was a lofty goal. After a few short months we’re already there. Heres to 1000 down and 999,000 to go!

A normal day at Taper Community looks like this: "I was only pushed this drug as I had a normal breakup with a girl and was upset. Should never have been left on it so long. My current doctor has no knowledge of the need to taper and said just stop?" See the problem here?

There is no such thing as a ‘side-effect’. There is simply what the drug does. Calling undesired effects ‘side effects’ doesnt make them go away.

The nurse practitioner who prescribed Clancy an antipsychotic testified that Clancy didn’t show signs of psychosis? 🤔

Patient reports get filed under “subjective.” The only reason protracted withdrawal and PSSD are taken semi-seriously today is that doctors started getting them too.
