De-prescribing refers to a structured, supervised process of stopping medications that are no longer necessary or beneficial. Ask your doctor the following questions:

  • What is this medication for? Do I still need it?

  • What would happen if I stopped it? Is there a safe way to stop?

Why you should know this

A supervised process of stopping medications that are no longer needed is something everyone should know about

    Yep lmao each medication I take is for a different inherent condition (i.e., not side effect management) and cannot be stopped without me losing ability to function in a serious way.

    This reads as woowoo MAHA med-shaming bullshit to be honest.
