Lydia MacDonald is a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner seeing clients throughout Tennessee by Telehealth. Her nursing experience includes sleep research, providing therapy for insomnia, anxiety, and depression and deprescribing. She is working with self-pay clients to reduce or come off psychiatric medication, individualizing tapering plans according to patients' prior experience with tapering, withdrawal symptoms that often emerge, and tolerability of tapering.
Lydia MacDonald, APRN, PMHNP-BC is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving Nashville, Tennessee, working with people who want to reduce or come off antidepressants, benzodiazepines, sleeping tablets 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 Tennessee residents can start here.
