Maybe you’re on psych meds and you’ve been thinking about reducing your dose. Maybe you’re thinking about starting them. Or you love someone who’s taking them, or thinking about coming off.

And you’re scared. You’re scared of coming off too quickly and having uncomfortable, maybe even unbearable, withdrawal symptoms. You’re scared of walking into your prescriber’s office and getting intimidated, or rushed through the whole appointment before you’ve asked a single real question.

So you’re up at night on Google and in Facebook support groups and Reddit threads, searching for information on HOW to do this slowly.

Please read this first

I am not a licensed healthcare provider. This workshop is my own lived experience and what I learned along the way, shared for educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, and it doesn’t replace your prescriber. Please don’t change or stop any medication without talking to your prescriber first.

You are responsible for what you do with this information. I highly recommend sharing what you learn here with your healthcare provider. When you buy, you’ll agree to the waiver of liability and Terms of Service at checkout.

You can find some of what you’re looking for out there. I did. But I also found a LOT of horror stories, a lot of bad advice, and a lot of physicians who didn’t support their patients’ desire to taper slowly.

And then there’s the typical advice: cut 25% of your dose per week, and you’re off in 4 weeks. From everything I lived through, I think that advice is total bullshit. None of it tells you how to go slowly, or how to bring a slow plan to your prescriber and get them on your side.

You want to decide when and how you taper, and go at your own pace. You want to have an educated conversation with your prescribing physician, and you want their support for the duration of your taper, no matter how long it takes.

And you want to know that your reasons are your own. Some of us want off our meds because of judgment or old stories about being on them at all, and you want to know whether your desire is coming from sovereignty or from trauma.

SOVEREIGN TAPER is the workshop I needed when I was doing my first taper of psych drugs. I’m sharing everything I learned through 5 different medication tapers. Watch it before you bring it up with your prescriber, and keep my slides open for that conversation. Here’s what I cover:

Andi Rose, my favorite internet herbalist and founder of Smoke & Forage, created an additional workshop about using plants and mushrooms to support you during and after your psych med taper. It’s pre-recorded, and you get it along with the replay of SOVEREIGN TAPER. That means you’re getting 2 workshops for the price of 1!

Herbs can interact with medication. Please check anything you add with your prescriber or pharmacist too.

Sovereignty means the decision is yours, and so is the responsibility for it. You decide when and how, and you set the pace, and you bring your prescriber in as your support the whole way through. And the decision can be to taper, to pause, or to stay exactly where you are.

It also means getting honest about why you want to come off. If the desire is coming from judgment or old stories about being on meds, that’s really valuable information, and it’s worth knowing before you start.

If you’re a coach or therapist working with people with trauma, chances are some of your clients are on psych drugs. And at a certain point in your work together, your clients may decide to reduce their medication. Unless you have a medical license, you can’t give them medical advice. You can share with them what you learn in this workshop and tell them to talk to their healthcare providers about it.

Hi, I’m Lindsey. I’m a trauma educator, nervous system coach, podcast host, and person with a whole lotta lived experience tapering psych meds, including benzos. In 2019, when I decided I wanted to start my very first psych drug taper, I had zero information or knowledge of what I was doing. I only knew I was terrified of coming off my meds too quickly.

I’m sharing my own lived experience of going through multiple medication tapers, and the things I found along the way that supported me. I realize this is a very risky topic to teach about as a non-licensed layperson. That’s why I’ll keep telling you to take all of it to your prescriber.

You walk into your next appointment having thought through what you want and at what pace, and you have an educated conversation with your prescriber. You ask for their support for as long as it takes. You know what to have in place, and you know the good times to begin and the not-so-good ones.

You stop reading horror stories in the middle of the night. You know whether your desire to come off is yours, or whether it’s an old story about being on meds. And whether you taper, pause, or stay exactly where you are, you’re the one who decided.

Will this tell me how to come off my medication?

This is my lived experience, shared for educational purposes, and every decision about your medication belongs to you and your prescriber. It helps you walk into that conversation informed, with real questions and a pace you’ve thought through.

Do I have to taper to get something out of it?

Sovereignty means the decision is yours. Whether you taper, pause, or stay exactly where you are, this workshop helps you make that choice from a grounded place.

I work with clients who are on medication. Is this for me?

Yes. There’s a section for practitioners, including what you can share with clients and where the line is.
