I don't think this type of 'cookie cutter' approach is sensible. Patients should taper at the pace which best suits them. This is very individual and requires a certain amount of trial and error - awareness of common withdrawal symptoms is important so that the rate of tapering can be adjusted. It is sometimes necessary to taper very gradually.... but others find a relatively quick taper more suitable. For me, short-acting SSRIs can be tapered over about two weeks.
