How to stop taking tablets?
Hi,
How should one stop taking medication for mental health/anxiety every day? What steps should I take? According to my psychologist, abrupt discontinuation wouldn't be a problem, but my boyfriend is already experiencing withdrawal symptoms. He only takes it every other day?
If you want to remove a drug, you reduce the dose. Every 2nd day is bullshit, which might make the withdrawal symptoms worse.
1 tablet is a day
You don't know what medicine, what dosage and how long it has been taken. It is not necessary for all medicines and not always to slip out.
It depends on the drug.
I wouldn't do it from one day to the other.
I would reduce the DOSE day.
Always in the 2 day clock to zero.
If you have a drug that has always started up with the dose from the outlet, you have to put it down just as much. Hold by getting less and less with the can.
If you have one where you never changed anything at the dose, you can drop it from one to the other day.
