Benzodiazepines and Z-drugs (i.e., Zopiclone and Zolpidem) play a valuable role in the short-term management of anxiety and insomnia, but long-term use is associated with dependence, cognitive impairment, falls, and other harms. Despite their risks, deprescribing these medications in general practice can be challenging. In this 60-minute session, we will translate the internationally recognised Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines into actionable strategies for everyday general practice. Participants will learn the core principles of Maudsley deprescribing, including hyperbolic tapering and personalised reduction strategies, and gain practical skills to identify suitable patients and how to safely initiate tapering.
