hmm.... obviously gradually lowering the dose. It's effects overlap with nicotine and the interaction is unpredictable. Basically, this is a very old drug that overlaps with many others. Under a physicians' supervision, you lower the dose, you get withdrawal symptolms, and there's a ton of medicines that would work on the side effects (rapid heart---beta blockers, sweats--blockers of autonomic sympathetic drive--clonidine, might cause constipation or diarrhea and agitation again, drugs previously mentioned).
It's a pretty bad drug to take
