Welcome to the latest episode of Talking Meds and the PrescQIPP podcast, engaging conversations about medicines-related dilemmas.
Today Jonathan Underhill, Medicines Clinical Adviser at PrescQIPP, talks to Dr Mark Horowitz about how to safely stop antidepressants and the importance of tapering dose reduction slowly to reduce the risk of withdrawal symptoms.
Dr Mark Horowitz is a training psychiatrist and Visiting Lecturer in London, and the lead author of the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines (see below). Mark co-authored the recent Royal College of Psychiatrists’ guidance on ‘Stopping Antidepressants’, and has been commissioned by Health Education England to prepare a teaching module on how to safely stop antidepressants for the NHS (coming soon!).
Mark has experienced the difficulty of coming off psychiatric medications first hand which has informed much of his work.
