Right now, there are only certain drugs that she's added to the app. My own drug - Venlafaxine - is not on there either, and so I suggested it be added. I will pass along your suggestion to add Abilify as well. Thanks for your input!

Oh this is great!! This is very similar to the application I designed, using the same "Sørensen 2022" reference. Some feedback I have about how this interacts with my medication, is that it does not seem to include bead count amounts for each stage, leaving the user to have to figure it out for themselves. It would also be nice if there could be user profiles (maybe merged with this site?) so that taper schedule and tracking could be generated on the initial setup, and then "belong" to the user upon sign in, keeping track of their progress. I've designed my app to accommodate both of these features, so I wonder if there's potential for a collaboration? I would love to connect with the developer(s). This is really cool!!
