The Risks of Tapering 

Stopping or tapering psychiatric medications carries serious risks, especially if done too quickly. Rapid dose reductions (e.g., 25%–50%) or “cold turkey” cessation can trigger severe and long-lasting withdrawal symptoms due destabilizing the nervous system. Any changes to your medication should be carefully planned and ideally supervised by a knowledgeable healthcare professional experienced in safe, hyperbolic tapering.

Every person’s experience with medication and tapering is unique. Factors such as medication type, dosage history, duration of use, biology, and lifestyle all influence outcomes.
