Effects of Antidepressant Withdrawal
What happens to people's moods, symptoms and thinking patterns as they come off antidepressants- comparted to those who stay on antidepressants over time?
We are looking for patients taking an SSI antidepressant who are clinically well (not depressed). Patients join one of 2 groups:
- Maintain: the patient chooses to stay to stay on their antidepressants during the study
- Withdraw: the patient chooses to taper/withdraw from their antidepressants during the study
For more information on the Research Studies taking place at Fallodon Way, please speak with your GP or one of our Reception Team.
This practice contributes to the Clinical Practice Research Datalink. Information in patient records is important for medical research to develop new treatments and test the safety of medicines. This practice supports medical research by sending some of the information from patient records to the Clincal Practice Research Datalink (CPRD)
