Q I work full-time in Dong-gu, Incheon and want ongoing support during tapering — how do visits usually work?
A Support treatment during tapering is usually managed through regular visits every 2 to 4 weeks, tracking your progress. Visits and herbal medicine schedules can be coordinated around your work schedule — booking ahead is recommended to avoid waiting. Tapering itself proceeds alongside your prescribing doctor.
Detailed Answer
Korean medicine support during antidepressant tapering works best as regular follow-up visits rather than a single prescription, since symptoms change as tapering progresses. Check-ins are typically every 2 to 4 weeks, and we work with you to choose an herbal medicine form and timing that fits easily into a busy schedule. Above all, the pace and timing of tapering itself is managed by your psychiatric doctor, and we proceed while sharing that information.
