Microtapering? Here's a spreadsheet that should help dry or liquid taperers.

Really nice of you to do this. Thanks so much.

This looks great! I'm not great at spread sheets but this looks easy with your instructions. I'm new and still deciding on the course I will take, either way this will be SOOO helpful. Thank you!

Glad you like it.  Let me know if you have any questions.

is .01 milligram a day too fast or too slow a reduction.  The taper rate is .982%. 

[[Buddie]]

It's probably too fast.  I'd start at half that rate and see how you do.  It's very normal for a taper from 1 mg to take the best part of a year.  The spreadsheet will adjust the rate if you enter your symptom intensity each day.  If you're feeling good, it will increase the rate.

Thank you!!!! I have no concept of what the numbers actually Mean ))))

I'm not sure which values you are talking about.  Are you talking about the symptom ratings? 

[[Buddie]]

No I understand symptom ratings. It's the cut rates that I can't grasp. Will need help when I get that far.

Your current dose (mg) is 1.
The dose in one of your intact pills is probably 1 mg, so enter 1.
For the proposed taper duration, you probably want to try something like 365 days.  If that rate is too slow, you'll have very few symptoms so you'll enter high values for how you're feeling which will cause the rate to increase a bit.  For example, if you feel good enough to score 80-89 each day, the sheet will accelerate your taper to last just half a year.  If you feel super good every day (90+), the sheet will accelerate your tapering period to just 4 months.  If you're feeling just so-so, then a year (or more) is probably appropriate.
Then you just enter your start date, your method (Liquid or Dry), and either the weight of an intact pill (if you're a dry cutter) or the initial liquid volume that you'll use (if you're a liquid taperer).

Thank you so much.  That helps.  I didn't realize it could automatically speed or slow the taper.  That is amazing.  Can't believe you could make something that would do that.  Appreciate your help. I am just in the beginning stages of trying to stabilize.
