Understanding Your Results

Tapering should be individualized. A common approach is to reduce the dose by 10% every 1–4 weeks. Faster tapers may be needed in some situations, but slower tapers generally produce fewer withdrawal symptoms. If the patient experiences significant withdrawal, pause or slow the taper.
