The cognitive effects of stopping and starting antipsychotics on changes in cognitive functioning
CONCLUSION: The results suggest that prescribers should consider discontinuance of an antipsychotic if the patient is reporting cognitive problems and their symptoms are manageable off the medications. The findings hope to spark future research into the effects of antipsychotic use on biomarkers of progressive dementias (e.g. Alzheimer's disease).PMID:38602221 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2336209
