When opioids are reduced or discontinued, a taper slow enough to minimize symptoms and signs of opioid withdrawal (e.g., drug craving, anxiety, insomnia, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, diaphoresis, mydriasis, tremor, tachycardia, or piloerection) should be used. A decrease of 10% of the original dose per week is a reasonable starting point; experts agreed that tapering plans may be individualized based on patient goals and concerns. Experts noted that at times, tapers might have to be paused and restarted again when the patient is ready and might have to be slowed once patients reach low dosages. Tapers may be considered successful as long as the patient is making progress. Once the smallest available dose is reached, the interval between doses can be extended. Opioids may be stopped when taken less frequently than once a day. More rapid tapers might be needed for patient safety under certain circumstances (e.g., for patients who have experienced overdose on their current dosage). Ultrarapid detoxification under anesthesia is associated with substantial risks, including death, and should not be used (200). Clinicians should access appropriate expertise if considering tapering opioids during pregnancy because of possible risk to the pregnant patient and to the fetus if the patient goes into withdrawal. Patients who are not taking opioids (including patients who are diverting all opioids they obtain) do not require tapers. Clinicians should discuss with patients undergoing tapering the increased risk for overdose on abrupt return to a previously prescribed higher dose. Primary care clinicians should collaborate with mental health providers and with other specialists as needed to optimize nonopioid pain management (see Recommendation 1), as well as psychosocial support for anxiety related to the taper. More detailed guidance on tapering, including management of withdrawal symptoms has been published previously (30,201). If a patient exhibits signs of opioid use disorder, clinicians should offer or arrange for treatment of opioid use disorder (see Recommendation 12) and consider offering naloxone for overdose prevention (see Recommendation 8).
We found differing trends with respect to the relationship between buffer size and mean cost estimated for each species, which resulted from both the distribution of each species and the strategy taken for collecting DNA samples. Specifically, for the more northern distributed species (lynx and marten), mean cost increased with increasing buffer size. Alternatively, for the southern distributed species (fisher and southern flying squirrel), mean cost generally decreased as buffer size increased. Specifically, for southern flying squirrel, there was a consistent decline in mean cost as the buffer size increased from 6 km to 20 km to 120 km (Table 1). For fisher, however, the mean cost initially decreased from 6 km to 20 km, but then returned to the same approximate mean cost at a 120 km neighbourhood size (Table 1). Mean current density also varied between buffer sizes for each of our species. For fisher, marten and lynx, mean current density declined with increasing buffer size. For flying squirrel, on the other hand, there was an initial decrease in mean current density from the 6 km to 20 km buffer, but then the current density increased again in the 120 km buffer calculation. 2b1af7f3a8
