Approximately 12% of Americans take an antidepressant. Traditional guidance has been to taper these medications over a few weeks and that withdrawal symptoms will be brief and mild. However, the reality experienced by many patients is quite different. This presentation will discuss common withdrawal symptoms, how to differentiate withdrawal from relapse, and hyperbolic tapering - an emerging method which can reduce withdrawal intensity and support safer discontinuation of these medications.
