General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Taper off the medication gradually. This means taking smaller and smaller doses of the medication over time. It may be possible to discontinue a medication more quickly if the dose was low to begin with. Discontinuation may take longer if the patient has been on the drug for an extended period of time.
