摘要:We focused our analysis on discontinuation syndrome, a frequent but unrecognised entity in psychiatric practice, which could be responsible for a great deal of misdiagnosis and treatment errors. If benzodiazepines and anticholinergics are well known for their potential of inducing discontinuation syndromes, there was less research regarding antidepressants and antipsychotics from this point of view. Theoretical data as well as clinical vignettes are presented here in an attempt to underline the necessity for inclusion of this syndrome in differential diagnosis and to show several ways to deal with it.
