Lauren Sparks, DNP, CNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving Santa Fe, New Mexico, working with people who want to reduce or come off antidepressants, benzodiazepines, sleep medications and other psychiatric medication. Deprescribing means gradual, patient-paced reductions — often a hyperbolic taper, where each cut gets smaller as the dose gets lower — rather than stopping in large steps. Practitioners can generally only see clients in states where they hold a licence, so New Mexico residents can start here.
