Deprescribing antipsychotics in patients with schizophrenia: findings from a specialized clinic

We show that most patients undergoing guided antipsychotic tapering remained stable after one year and improved in level of function, while most patients who relapsed were quickly stabilized. Our inability to create strong predictive models could be due to limitations in the study design, warranting future studies exploring tapering of antipsychotics in patients with schizophrenia.
