Offramp helps you taper off an antidepressant gradually, following a plan you set with your prescriber. This page is the app's support resource (App Store "Support URL"). Questions, bugs, or feedback: [email protected].
Important safety information
Offramp is a tracking and education tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It does not tell you to start, stop, or change any medication — every plan and dose is one you set with your prescriber. Never change your antidepressant without your prescriber. Stopping suddenly can be harmful.
In crisis? If you are thinking about harming yourself, you are not alone. In the US, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line), or call 911. Offramp's in-app crisis resources work offline, anytime.
Frequently asked questions
What is "hyperbolic" tapering? As a dose gets lower, each small reduction has a proportionally larger effect on the brain's serotonin transporters. Hyperbolic tapering makes the effect of each step roughly even by making the later dose reductions smaller — which is why the last stretch of a taper is taken slowly. Offramp builds your schedule from published receptor-occupancy data so the steps reflect this.
How does "how to make this dose" work? Hyperbolic steps often land on amounts no single tablet matches. For each step, Offramp shows an exact way to take it — which whole or half tablets (only for tablets that can be split), plus any remainder measured as a liquid. It never splits extended-release tablets. Always confirm the approach with your prescriber or pharmacist.
Does Offramp decide when I reduce? No. Before a scheduled reduction it shows a Proceed / Caution / Hold readiness view based on your recent check-ins, and always shows the signals behind it. It's information to discuss with your prescriber — never an instruction.
Is my data private? Yes. No ads, no data sales, no cross-app tracking. Apple Health sleep is read-only and stays on your device unless you turn on sync. See the Privacy Policy. You can export or delete everything in Settings → Account.
How much does it cost? Free for 14 days, then a single one-time purchase to keep Offramp for life — no subscription, no per-feature paywalls. Restore a previous purchase from the same screen as the paywall (Settings → Manage Access).
How do I connect or disconnect Apple Health? During onboarding, or later in Settings. You can revoke access anytime in Apple's Health app.
How do I share my progress with my prescriber? Settings → Export prescriber report generates a PDF summary (plan, schedule, recent check-ins, sleep, readiness signals) you can bring to an appointment.
