A mobile app to help people safely stop medications that cause withdrawal symptoms, like antidepressants and benzodiazepines when they are no longer needed. TaperMate puts the user in control of their own taper by providing simple calculators, evidence based information and symptom tracking to support self-management.
We understand that tapering can be a difficult and confusing process. In addition to the TaperMate app, we have launched a pharmacist-led telehealth service for Australian patients to support people to create a unique patient-centred tapering plan following the latest evidence-based guidelines. We'll answer your questions, help you to understand the various tapering methods, and advocate to your prescriber to get the right prescriptions and support to start your taper.
