Tapering Medications

Tapering medications is how people can improve health by removing unnecessary medications slowly and safely from their body.

More Detail

Sometimes in medicine we hit acute problems which might need powerful medications like for fighting cancer or mental health episodes.

Long term these drugs may hurt our long term health but when we introduce a drug into a complex system that system will alter it’s equilibrium.

Eliminating a medication immediately may introduce what in physics is referred to as a “step function” which will create big perturbations in the system. This can seriously hurt a person.

So it is generally safer to taper off medications slowly.
