Mental health medication review

Many patients won't need to take mental health medications for the long-term. Once your mental health has improved, you may no longer need to take medications.

You do not need to do anything if:

• you feel that staying on the same prescription or medications is the right option for you
• you have already had a review of your mental health in the last 12 months and have decided to keep taking your medications
• now is not the right time to change your medications but may think about it in the future.

If you think that you are in the right place to reduce and/or stop your medications

Complete the questionnaire we have sent you by SMS.

Stopping Antidepressants (Royal College of Psychiatrists)

As always, if you need help with your mental health, get in touch with your surgery.

If you are experiencing side effects or want to try different antidepressant, book a GP appointment.
