Welcome again, there is no special criteria for that but slowly to tapper off the medication, but it is important to know who has decided to tapper off, for example self I would suggest do not practice this rather visit your doctor then decide and if doctor has decided he might has told this in both ways, doctors advise is recommended. Thanks
