Default No one should stop any drug suddenly

M,
Nobody should stop any drug suddenly without a doctor or pharmacist being consulted, because, just as you had to get used to the drug at first by titrating up slowly, your body is habituated (not addicted) and needs an equal chance to step back down again. There is nothing IMHO inherently immoral about this, just in case a reader is wondering.

Here's a slogan I just thought of:

Addicts seek drugs they don't need,
patients need drugs they didn''t seek.

Take care, MK
