\"Positive<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I spend a great deal of my clinical time helping clients come off psychotropics slowly and successfully. As a result, I am thrilled that we are finally seeing exponential growth in research and clinical explorations about what we know about the need to reduce or eliminate psychotropic medications and how to do it with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I update Chapter 9 of my book,\u00a0Nutrition Essentials for Mental Health<\/a><\/em>, about how to taper from psychotropics, I am immersed in the most up-to-date research supporting the critical finding that the brain needs time, time, and more time to adapt to withdrawal. To help fellow clinicians navigate this process with their own patients, I\u2019ve created a\u00a0Deprescribing and Tapering<\/a><\/strong> page on my website, where you can find valuable resources and free worksheets to help your clients taper successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first research article addresses the method of hyperbolic tapering, which I find to be an essential part of a successful taper. The second article explores the hyperbolic approach with antipsychotics. The third article addresses the importance of incorporating a lens on sex and gender when addressing polypharmacy in elders. The final three articles reflect research asking patients about their experiences tapering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fourth article discusses research that finds that the patient generally initiates the need to taper and that patients do not experience willingness from practitioners to deprescribe and would like to discuss deprescribing more often. This research provides insight into how we can initiate these discussions with clients. The fifth article addresses that most participants reported that their prescribers were unable to help them safely stop antidepressants. The final article discusses the diverse needs of patients regarding tapering rates and whether it is possible to identify those who may have more challenges tapering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
