Medication: What medication are you speaking of? Some medications need to be tapered, others can be stopped cold turkey without problems. Consider scheduling a consult on HealthTap :)

You will need to: ...resubmit your question with the name of the medication. In general, discontinuing or"weaning off" any medication should be done with the knowledge of and supervision by the physician who prescribed it.
