Your Complete Guide to Medication Tapering: The Final Stage Pt 3.

You’ve probably heard the advice: “Just cut your pills in half and take them every other day.” But that oversimplified method is doing more harm than good—and it’s time we talk about it.

In the final episode of our medication tapering series, Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn uncover the real neurological science behind antidepressant withdrawal. Learn why those uncomfortable symptoms you’re feeling aren’t a relapse, but a natural response from your brain as it adapts to medication changes your doctor may not have fully explained.

We break down:

• Why standard tapering methods often fail

• The truth behind the hyperbolic tapering method

• Why early reductions feel easy, but the final milligrams hit hardest

• How to recognize less obvious withdrawal symptoms—like vivid dreams, headaches, and digestive issues
