Stopping The Over-Medication of People – STOMP

A resource for autistic people and their families

STOMP stands for stopping over-medication of people with a learning disability, autism or both with psychotropic medicines. This guidebook, produced jointly with the NHS, is for autistic adults who are prescribed psychotropic medication. It gives you more information about why the medication might be prescribed, possible side-effects, medication reviews and information on monitoring your own health and wellbeing. It also includes a workbook that you can use to help prepare for a medication review.
