I am currently taking Pexep CR 25 mg at night, Betacap 40 mg in the morning, and Tofisopam 50 mg twice daily. How can I safely taper off and stop these medications?
To safely stop paroxetine CR, propranolol, and tofisopam, you must consult your prescribing doctor. Stopping these medications abruptly can lead to uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms, such as rebound anxiety or a rapid heart rate. Your doctor will design a gradual, step-by-step tapering schedule tailored for you, typically reducing one medication at a time over several weeks. Paroxetine and propranolol, in particular, require a very slow dose reduction to ensure your body adjusts safely. Please do not change your dosage on your own. Your physician will guide you through this process smoothly and safely.
