either way you are not in a state good for tapering so doesn't matter that much, just stay on the same dose, accept your symptoms, and try to focus on things that bring positivity to your life or other distractions.

don't overcomplicate things, just do these things, if you need more coping methods, feel free to ask for help and also we have a category for coping methods.

That was about what I was thinking. Essentially you just need to not make any further changes. That is what is best now. Let your brain sort this all out for you.

you will be fine, don't worry about it, just focus on the now, not the past or future, only the present exists.

Remember. One day at a time. You did good. You reinstated. Now all you can do is stay at this dose and trust your body. Don’t get in a loop with the worry. It won’t help. It will all be ok. 😀
