Deprescribing

At Axis Integrated Mental Health, we understand the challenges that come with managing mental health conditions, especially when it involves long-term medication use. Our specialized Deprescribing services are designed to help you safely reduce your antidepressant medication load, titrate off benzodiazepines, or explore non-medication routes to achieve optimal mental health.

What is Deprescribing?

Deprescribing is a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to reducing or stopping medications that may no longer be necessary or that might be causing adverse effects. Our goal is to minimize the potential harm of polypharmacy while maximizing the benefits of non-pharmacological treatments.

Our Deprescribing Process

1. Comprehensive Assessment: Our journey begins with a thorough evaluation of your medical history, current medications, and mental health status. We work closely with you and your healthcare providers to understand your unique needs and goals.
2. Personalized Plan: Based on the assessment, we create a tailored deprescribing plan that outlines the step-by-step process of reducing or stopping medications. This plan is designed to be gradual, safe, supportive, and minimize withdrawal symptoms while ensuring your mental health remains stable.
3. Support and Monitoring: Throughout the deprescribing process, our team provides continuous support and monitoring. Regular check-ins and adjustments ensure that the plan is working effectively and safely.
4. Alternative Therapies: We offer a range of non-medication therapies, including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), talk therapy, nutritional psychiatry, mindfulness practices, lifestyle modifications, and more. These therapies aim to provide you with effective tools to manage your mental health without relying solely on medications.
