Tapering?

[indyjo]

I am past 72 weeks but still have several months of meds prescribed. A few here said maybe use these to taper off the peg. Why is it beneficial to taper off? What is a good schedule for tapering the redi-pen? How 'bout the Riba. Should it be tapered as well? Thanks for any feedback. You all are great!

Here is a link that will shed more light on the topic of tapering off the meds. Only a few here have chose to go this route and is a personal decision of what is best for you. Many doctors don’t see it as an added value at the end of treatment but then again, there is not much research on the subject because of the cost factor associated with the research. Also insurance companies will not pay for the meds outside of the protocol of std. SOC in- which case one must be creative in acquiring the additional meds.

There is no "should" since the tapering off is all speculation at this point, but this is one of the posts discussing it.
