I'm currently diagnosed with juvenile r.a. if no pain is experienced is it safe to taper.im on 25mg if we taper by 5mg how long till im off completely?

Consult doctor: You did not say which medication you are wanting to taper. Many medications for RA have combined purpose such as pain relief and decrease in inflammation. Do not taper any medication just because your pain has stopped. Work closely with your doctor for changes .
