Tapering the dose gradually generally do not have any added side effect however we have to take a close look at symptoms of the patient as there is possibility of recurrence or flaring up of the symptoms for which the drug was given.however, detail clinical history  is required.

If the medication is tapered and stopped under supervision there should not be a problem. the rate of reduction of dose could be decided by the doctor based on individual needs
