Jump or cut?

[[vo...]]

Do jump and cut mean the same thing? When I read posts, it seems that they do but I want to be sure. I wish we had a glossary of terms!

@[vo...]  No, jumping is jumping off the drug completely.  A cut is a percentage drop from your dose.  Does that make sense?

Yes, thank you @[Fa...]. I guess I'm just being forgetful.

Yeah my jumping off point is ingrained. Never hope to cut or go through this hell again. X

You may also be thinking of "jumping" as in going from one dose to the next without a taper rate/plan in mind or even updosing. I am sure some members have wrongfully used that term before.

"I jumped from 10mg to 2 mgs of Valium over night!"

"After my setback, I needed to jump up 10 mgs to stabilize"

@[Fa...] is right though. Generally "cuts" are for tapering and "jumps" are for stopping (final dose of taper, or cold turkey). I have seem people use "jump" for "cuts", but never the other way around. ("I cut from .25 mg to 0" doesn't sound right)
