A member asked:
Can psychiatrists wean one off of medicine faster than reductions one month at a time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on the medication(s) you are taking. Some can be discontinued in weeks instead of months especially if you are taking a substitute. You should trust your doctor. Take care.
