What does a deprescribing doctor do?

A deprescribing doctor — sometimes called a tapering doctor or withdrawal-informed prescriber — helps you reduce or come off psychiatric medication gradually and safely. Instead of stopping abruptly or cutting doses in large steps, they work with slow, flexible schedules (often hyperbolic tapers that shrink each reduction as the dose gets lower), watch for withdrawal symptoms that can be mistaken for relapse, and adjust the pace to how your body responds.

Any prescriber can technically reduce a dose, but clinicians who focus on deprescribing bring experience with antidepressant withdrawal, benzodiazepine tapering, and the practical tools — liquid formulations, compounded doses, tapering strips — that make small reductions possible. In California, the featured clinician above offers this kind of gradual, patient-led tapering support.
