Not Medical Advice
GentleStep does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
GentleStep is a tapering planner and visualization tool. It generates a draft dose-reduction schedule by applying user-selected parameters to a starting dose you enter. It does not determine whether your starting dose is correct or clinically appropriate, and it does not determine appropriate medication dosages.
The starting dose is entirely user-provided. Enter your current prescribed dose as provided by your healthcare professional.
Consult Your Healthcare Provider
Always consult a licensed healthcare professional before starting, changing, or stopping any medication. Only a qualified clinician who knows your complete health history can advise you on a taper plan.
Any schedule generated by GentleStep should be reviewed with your prescribing clinician before you act on it.
No Guarantees
While we strive for accuracy, we do not guarantee the completeness, reliability, or suitability of any information provided through GentleStep for any particular purpose.
Medical knowledge evolves constantly, and individual responses to medication changes vary significantly. What works for one person may not be appropriate for another.
