Hi, I am bipolar and have just been in a psychiatric hospital for a week. I’m tapering from 7mg to 6mg on the DSNS programme which has worked very well till now. I’m stiff and sore again ( it’s manageable but uncomfortable) - should I remain at 7 mg for a while till I feel a bit better?
Thank you for any advice in advance. R

I agree with Sheffield Jane and the others: stay at 7mg until you feel 100%. You've only just come out of the psychiatric unit and you need to feel settled and completely well again before even thinking about tapering. You need to rest and stay as stress-free as you are able. Wishing you well.
