Philipa,
In theory, that is good advise but then there is reality.
If I had listened to my psychiatrist instead of following the advise of the Paxil Progress board in tapering off of psych meds, the taper would have been too fast and I probably would gone right back on psych meds.
By following the advice of Paxil Progress to go slow, I am down to a very lose dose of my last med. It hasn't been easy but it could have been alot worse.
Back to your point - I think it is implied that when people give advise, that you need to check on your own as to whether it is feasible or not.49er
