How long does tapering take?

It depends on your situation. Post-surgical patients may complete tapering in a few weeks. Chronic patients who have been on medication for years typically taper over several months; our average is about 8 months for long-term patients. Your plan is personalized to your needs and adjusted as you progress.

Will I experience withdrawal symptoms?

Our goal is to minimize or eliminate withdrawal symptoms entirely. By tapering gradually and adjusting the pace to your body's response, most patients report feeling well throughout the process. Katrin, one of our patients, said she "never experienced withdrawal symptoms" during her taper.

What if I'm not ready to fully stop my medication?

That's okay. Tapering is about your goals, not ours. Some patients want to reduce their dosage rather than stop completely, and that's a valid outcome. We'll work with you to define what success looks like for you.

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

No referral needed. You can contact us directly. Many patients are also referred by their physician. Either way, we'll work with your doctor to coordinate your care.

What does the app do?

The Prescriby app helps you track your tapering schedule, log how you're feeling, and communicate with your pharmacist. It's your daily companion throughout the journey. Patients tell us it makes the process feel manageable and clear.

How long does implementation take for a typical clinic?

Most clinics are up and running within one to two weeks, with dedicated onboarding support.

How is patient data protected?

All information is kept HIPAA compliant; technical safeguards ensure privacy and security.

What kind of support do clinic teams receive?

Every clinic partner is assigned a dedicated account manager and has access to staff training materials and real-time support.

What is the role of the referring physician?

Physicians simply refer and receive regular progress updates, while clinical pharmacists manage day-to-day tapering oversight.

Can the service integrate with our current systems?

Yes, progress reports and communications can be exported to your EHR or securely delivered via your preferred channels.

What kinds of medications does the tapering service cover?

Opioids, benzodiazepines, z-medications (sleep medication), gabapentinoids, and anti-depressants (SSRI/SNRI), with protocols individually tailored to each case.

How does the patient experience work?

Patients receive personalized education, ongoing clinical support, and easy access to communication, all via a user-friendly app.

How are clinical protocols kept current?

All protocols are reviewed and updated in alignment with the latest clinical guidelines.

Is there ongoing support after tapering concludes?

Clinics and patients receive a detailed summary, and transition support is available as needed.

Who answers patient questions during tapering?

Dedicated pharmacists provide direct patient support, relieving the referring clinic from day-to-day inquiries.
