Changing the drug

June 13, 2026··

After changing the drug you are tapering, the dose changes are incorrectly counted as relative to the dose of the previous drug.

Prozac — 40 mg — 6 months — holding | Zyprexa — 20 mg — 6 years — holding | Depakote — 600 mg — 7 months — **tapering** | Buspirone — 20 mg — 7 months — holding | with clinician
