Benzodiazepine Taper Scenario Discussion
The student is to create their own scenario of a patient (or may use a patient from clinical experience) who wants to taper off their benzodiazepines that they have been taking for at least 10 years or more to include:
the age and gender of the patient
list all medical and psychiatric diagnoses (i.e. is there a seizure history? anxiety disorder? etc)
current medications and allergies
specifically include the benzodiazepine, the dosing instructions and how long they have been taking it (must be for at least several years), the MOA, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics.
(Patient example: J.R. is a 68-year-old Caucasian male taking Xanax 1mg, one tab by mouth four times daily for 20 years and wants to be taken off this medication)
How would you approach tapering them off their benzodiazepines?
Write the instructions on how you would taper them.
List the potential withdrawal symptoms and how you would approach this
Would you use any other medications to help with the withdrawal symptoms(list what you would use, how you would use them, why) or therapy (what kind, why).
Cite at minimum one journal article that provides recommendations for taper and supportive medications, rate and grade the article using John Hopkins
Support your answers with the evidence, also use DSM 5 diagnosis and APA format
