Answer 1

Any time you want to stop a medication that needs to be weaned, you need to see your doctor. He will work out the proper schedule for you. The schedule is based on many factors such as how long you have been on the medication, why you were taking the medication, how you respond to the weaning, etc.

Never stop a medication that must be weaned without consulting your doctor. Improper weaning can lead to serious complications. Please see the doctor who ordered the medication for you or your current doctor for your weaning schedule...then follow it precisely.
