## What is TaperMate?

Many medicines don’t need to be taken forever. When the time comes and your doctor recommends stopping a drug that you no longer need, or is causing more harm than benefit, TaperMate is here to help!

TaperMate helps you to plan and track your medication taper to safely wean off your meds. Ideal for tapering medications that cause withdrawal symptoms when stopped abruptly – like antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAs etc.), benzodiazepines, opioids, mood stabilisers, sleeping pills, stimulants and other psychotropics.

TaperMate puts you in control of your taper.

- Use our simple taper calculator to create taper plans at any rate. Drop by a set percentage or number of mg, at your desired frequency. For example 10% reductions every 4 weeks. 

- Choose from 5 Taper methods: 
  * Tablet Cutting (great for Valium)
  * Capsule Combinations (great for compounding)
  * Liquid Taper (great for microtapers) 
  * and Weighing or Bead Counting (great for Cymbalta and Efexor). 

We’ll show you how to achieve each dose in mg using the medication and equipment you have on hand.

- Use our symptom and mood tracker features, with daily check-ins to make sure you’re not tapering too fast.

- Set dose reminder notifications and mark each dose as taken to keep a clear record of your taper.

- Generate and export your Taper Report, which includes your taper diary and symptom/mood graphs to see how your dose and symptoms have changed over time.

- Access links to resources to help you better understand concepts like withdrawal and hyperbolic tapering (such as the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines), as well as additional support services and other useful information.

A subscription gives you access to all TaperMate features. There are monthly and yearly subscription options for convenience.

### 1/5 — Can’t create account

*2025-07-14*

Every time I try to create an account and tap the link in my email to sign in it says I haven’t registered and I go through the same process all over again. Tried 3 different times.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry for the account creation troubles! This looks like a verification issue on our end. Please email us at info@tapermate.com.au with your email address and we'll help resolve this immediately.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2025-05-17*

This app does what the other three on the app store do not. Actually schedules the taper! Best app for this purpose, hands down.

**Developer response:** Thank you, Jason! We're so glad TaperMate's scheduling feature sets us apart and gives you what other apps couldn't. Your recommendation means everything to us!

### 1/5 — Custom medication not working, unusable for me

*2025-04-10*

Cannot create custom medication. Trying to taper off of a plant supplement that causes withdrawals, the structure of the app seems perfect for me but I just need to be able to log my doses and my symptoms daily

**Developer response:** Hi there, sorry you can't create custom medications! We'd love to help you track your supplement tapering. Please email info@tapermate.com.au and we'll help get this sorted for you.
