Core Features:

Customized Tapering Schedules

DoseDown's dynamic scheduling allows you to "Hold" a step if withdrawal symptoms become too intense, giving you complete control over a safe, personalized micro-tapering pace.

Advanced Symptom & Mood Tracker
Antidepressant withdrawal comes with unique physical and emotional challenges. Check in daily to journal your emotional state and log common discontinuation symptoms like:
• Brain zaps and brain shivers
• Dizziness and vertigo
• Fatigue and lethargy
• Nausea and digestive issues
• Insomnia and sleep disturbances
• Heightened anxiety or mood swings
Track the severity of each symptom (Mild, Moderate, Severe) to monitor your body's adaptation and share accurate reports with your healthcare provider.
