Successful use of tapering strips for hyperbolic reduction of antidepressant dose: a cohort study.

"Conflict of interest statement: The authors declared the following potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: Tapering medication is a non-patented product containing generic drugs and can be made by any compounding pharmacy. P.C. Groot was involved in the development of tapering strips and both authors research tapering strips. Neither author is involved in any way in the production or sale of tapering strips. In the Netherlands, tapering medications are made, at the specific request of the not-for-profit foundation Cinderella Therapeutics, by the Regenboog Pharmacy in Bavel, The Netherlands against a nationally pre-set, regulated reimbursement. Other pharmacies in the Netherlands do not produce tapering strips as the pre-set reimbursement is considered too low. The User Research Centre at UMC Utrecht has benefitted from an unrestricted educational grant provided by the Regenboog Pharmacy."
