Patients' perceptions and experiences of discontinuing long-term AD vary, with fears of relapse, lack of confidence in coping resources, and the importance of support from healthcare providers and social networks. GPs can play a crucial role in supporting patients during discontinuation and raising awareness about the potential risks of long-term antidepressant use.

Deprescribing intervention activities mapped to guiding principles for use in general practice: a scoping review

Amy Coe et al.

Summary: The study aimed to identify and characterize activities for deprescribing in general practice and map them to deprescribing principles. The most frequently used activities included identifying appropriate patients for deprescribing, patient and GP education, and tapering schedule development. The addition of two principles suggests the importance of practice staff and management teams in sustaining deprescribing processes. Future research is needed to determine effective activities for each principle and their implementation.
