New: the "For You" tab β€” your medication's community, in one feed

July 18, 2026Β·Β·
Hey everyone πŸ‘‹ We just shipped a change to the home feed that I'm really excited about, because it gets at the heart of why TaperCommunity exists: nobody should taper alone, and the people who understand your taper best are the ones taking the same medication. What changed
  • The feed tabs are now New Β· For You Β· Active.
  • For You is a personal feed built around your medication. Open it and you'll see:
  • Posts from your drug's forum. If you're tapering Effexor, your feed is Effexor updates, questions, and wins from people walking the same path β€” without you having to go looking for them.
  • A cohort banner showing how many members here are tapering the same drug as you. That number is real, and it's the whole point: you're not doing this alone.
-Threads you follow and posts from people you follow, so conversations you care about stay in one place. If your medication's forum is still small, For You automatically widens to your drug's whole class (say, all SSRIs) so there's always something relevant β€” and posting in your drug's forum is how it grows. A couple of smaller notes: when you set your medication in your profile, you now automatically join that drug's forum.

With a doctor's supervisionβ€”but unfortunately, a doctor who doesn't know how to properly taper off an antidepressant.
