At Aspire Medical Group, we specialize in the process of gradually reducing the dose of psychiatric medications for our patients.
In our clinical experience, a substantial number of patients have a very difficult time coming off of psychiatric medications. In addition, patients are often overwhelmed with conflicting advice on how to best taper, further complicating what can inherently be a confusing and overwhelming experience. To mitigate the severity of withdrawal symptoms, a gradual, flexible, patient-led taper is key. By collaborating with us on your taper, you can rest assured that you are receiving comprehensive care that is personalized to you and your unique situation.
We Can Help You Taper:
If you find that the medication you are currently taking is no longer providing the desired benefits, you are experiencing side effects, have concerns about long-term safety or if you have developed a tolerance requiring higher doses, we can assist you with medication tapers. There are various reasons why a medication taper may be necessary. For instance, you may be experiencing emergent adverse effects such as weight gain, emotional blunting, sexual dysfunction, dizziness, or inter-dose withdrawal symptoms. Alternatively, the stressors that initially led to your need for medication might have resolved, or you may have doubts about the accuracy of the initial diagnosis for which the medication was prescribed. Some individuals also wish to explore life off medications to discover their baseline well-being, while others are concerned about polypharmacy, do not want to become dependent on a controlled substance or feel that they are taking too many drugs. Our expert team can guide you through a safe and personalized medication tapering process, addressing your specific concerns and helping you achieve the desired outcomes.
