@Mimiblanc73 @RunningNEPA @christyhuffMD And for frail elderly with dementia, a more paternalistic approach (versus collaborative/partnering with cognitively-intact patients) is warranted when deprescribing benzodiazepines: https://t.co/BIb5CdIeW1
Going rogue suggesting deprescribing of benzos in elderly! Kidding. This isn’t forced taper. This is patient engagement and thoughtful clinical care where decision may be to not taper at all. Good post. Thank you.
