Ok, there is a difference between going 500mg then cold turkey, and 1 gram and then cold turkey, but 300mg vs 500mg is not that much different, you are supressed, no ways aroudn it. Besides, unless your shooting the 1 gram in form of suspension, rember, esters like Ethanate release slowly, hal-life is 10 or 12 days, so it basically tapoers itself. You think about it logically there is not a real need to taper. Most medicines that are tapered dont have a 12 day half-life. Most are 24 hours or so, so yes you shoudl taper those, but not most steroids.

and I see your point but with dosages of 1g+ a week I do belive [just my personal thoughts, no research behind this] that tapering would help..... most medicines are not used in excesive dosages...... But I am sure if you are taking lets say Prozac at 3 times recomended dosage you must def taper them off....

Still apples and oranges. Prozac and say Ethanate even at 1 gram. Prozac is another once a day medicine. Eth's half-life is 10-12 days, than at day 10 or 12 you have 500mgs left, which is beign released fairly slow over that period, albeit not evenly, as blood levels peak on day 2, but not drastically either.
