I’ve just had an email about this. Looks interesting.  Unfortunately my questions are all  about why drug companies are allowed to get away with this which I don’t think is what they are really looking for!!! Perhaps after I’ve given it some thought I might come up with something else but to be honest SA has answered all my questions.

 

Study details:
 

There are many unanswered questions about the process of reducing and stopping psychiatric medicines (commonly referred to as 'tapering') and how best to do it. We think that it is important that future research focuses on the questions that are important to people with lived experience of taking and/or stopping any of these medicines, family members, carers/supporters and healthcare professionals.

 

The PROTECT study team, in partnership with the James Lind Alliance, has set up this priority setting partnership to identify the Top 10 priorities for future research about reducing and stopping psychiatric medicines. This study could help to change the research agenda which will allow future research to focus on the most important questions.
