Do you have a patient suffering from medication side effects? Do you have patients that are ready to get off their medications? A step-by-step method is now available. Insomnia, anxiety, head symptoms are the common withdrawal side effects from psychoactive drugs which stops most people from being able to completely get off their medication. Those symptoms no longer need to get in the way of a successful taper.
Deciding how fast to titrate off a medication can be a confusing decision. Which medication to taper first needs to based on drug/drug interactions associated with the CYP enzymes. Did you know, if you taper a patient off the antidepressant first, while they concurrently take a benzodiazepine, the patient will go into withdrawal on the benzodiazepine as well? Click here for the method used by physicians worldwide to taper patients off psychoactive medications.
Review by Dr. Hyla Cass M.D. Psychiatrist "Here
is an essential handbook on how to safely and more easily wean
yourself (under medical supervision) off the heavily over-prescribed
psychotropic medications. I have used the program with my patients
and it works!” Hyla Cass M.D. Author of Supplement Your Prescription
