How to use "Tapering" in context?
When it comes to any type of medication, people have mixed feelings about tapering. Some feel it's the precise way to take the medicine down so that it doesn't have an adverse effect, while others feel like they're removing too much at once. Ultimately, the decision of when to stop taking medication lies with the patient. However, there are a few points that can help make the process smoother.
The most important thing to remember is that tapering should only be done under the guidance of a doctor. Too much sudden stop can lead to headaches, dizziness, and hallucinations.
