I need to discontinue some things that I have been taking and I will need to taper.<br><br>
I took/am taking Vitex to support the luteal phase. I think I will keep taking the normal dose this week and next week taper down. That shouldn't be too bad. It is still so early for me and this herb supports progesterone synthesis in my body so I think I would like to take the full dose for one more week.<br><br>
I take an antidepressant which I need to discontinue. I take a very minimal dose right now and should have stopped taking it before but didn't. I think it will go fine, but I am still a bit nervous. I think I will go for a week on a half dose, and then next week alternate that dose to every other day, then nothing the next week.<br><br>
I don't want to shock my system by rapidly discontinuing chemicals my body is used to, but on the other hand, don't necessarly want the baby to be exposed to some of this stuff.<br><br>
Anyone else going to be "Detoxing" themselves? How are you going about it?<br><br>
