Could you share the specific mg/week taper you did for Sertraline?

I did 10% relative reduction in my dose per 2 weeks, until I got down to ~2-3mg and then went cold turkey from there. Very very conservative. The 10% relative part is important - if you dropped by a constant, say 5mg, proportionally you'd be doing bigger drops each time which is where people get into trouble, especially at low doses.

You start with Marcus Aurelius and work your way up to Nietzsche.
