Thank you for writing! I am also tapering off a med.
No support from prescriber who is on vacation.
I have tapered from 4-5 pills a day to 1 (2 halves)
Per day. I keep saying that I am going to take 1/2 daily next week!

My Gastroenterologist was SO helpful!
She told me that I may get stomach cramps from withdrawal and not to think it was from the celiac (wheat allergy)...........and to go slowly. Thank God for her.

Bravo! for
connect.mayoclinic.org
We all need the support from others who have or are experiencing tapering from a pharmaceutical from which we have developed a dependence. Thank you to all who have shared your efforts and wisdom.

Thanks also to Mayo mentors!
