An excellent goal! Glad you are working with your MD for this.
The emphasis on “very slow taper” is key.
You may feel uncomfortable (this means different things for each person) as you lower the dose. Could be nausea,headache,dizziness, etc.
The more gradual the taper, the better. Be patient. You can do this!

@drsimonpm
#deprescribing - music to my ears. All patients or their caregivers should be required to sit with a #pharmacist and perform a CMR (comprehensive med review) . Currently in the US, Medicare puts the onus on the pharmacist to contact (cold call) the patient. This is not ideal for obvious reasons. Of course the patient could seek our help voluntarily, but most are unaware of the value of such interventions. #Pharmocogenomics #MedMastodon

❓ When is #cardiovascular preventive medication appropriate in older people?
We asked professionals and older people themselves

💊 Stopping #medication and "not starting" are to different concepts!

Oft ist weniger mehr: #deprescribing #hyponatriämie unter #hct Zitat aus einer Mail: „meiner Mutter geht es seit der Umstellung soviel besser. Sie macht gerade den Christkindlmarkt in Wien unsicher… Und sie möchte jetzt nach NewYork. Bisher war das Ziel die Trafik“

Sto raccogliendo tutto il materiale per l'articolo da scrivere sul #Deprescribing in #CurePalliative. A questa velocità però finirò nel 2069.

Hey #palliativecare #hapm team. Looking into literature around Shared Decision-making for #deprescribing in #palliative care. My feeling is that this is something we’ve been doing as a specialty for decades but haven’t written much about it since these became the preferred terms. Difficult to search for more nebulous terms though. Are there any key older references that can help?
