Treatment Overview
Once you are deemed eligible for the treatment, you will start a daily course of treatment that can last around 6 weeks. After this course, based on your response and other factors, a decision will be made to either stop the treatment or to slowly taper it. While some patients need long-term treatment at various frequencies, many others are able to stop the treatment and maintain the gains for months or years afterwards.
