Antidepressant Discontinuation: In Need of Scientific Evidence

Conclusions

Antidepressant discontinuation is a clinically relevant topic. There is a strong need for more robust evidence to indicate who can discontinue antidepressants, when and in which manner (how). Blinded randomized controlled trials are pivotal to optimally advise physicians, patients and policy-makers. This scientific knowledge can guide evidence-based decision making in clinical practice.
