Antidepressant Withdrawal
If
you have tried to get off an antidepressant in the past, you very well know the
withdrawal can be brutal. The thought of even trying again may feel
overwhelming. We understand, and our program is designed to help you feel well;
reduce the common daytime anxiety and insomnia, fatigue and head symptoms that
usually run hand-in-hand with antidepressant withdrawal.
Since 1999, The Road Back has helped over 40,000 people, just like you, become
drug free. You can make it. Read one of our success stories from a person that
just started the program below.
“I
made the mistake and quit my antidepressant cold turkey. The side effects were
nausea, constant headache, anxiety, no sleep, that brain zap and a whirling in
my head. James, your assistance, and guiding me through the first days have made
all the difference. Nausea is gone, headache is gone, brain zaps quit within one
hour like you said, and the remaining side effects are so small I can deal with
them. I do not know how I can ever repay you for saving my life. Unless someone
has been through this, they may not know what I am talking about.”
The above story is what The Road Back Program is about. Getting you to feel
better again, sleeping, daytime anxiety diminished and most or all other side
effects eliminated.
Reducing the antidepressant is actually the easy part of the program. A
systematic and slow reduction of the antidepressant is required to avoid
withdrawal.
Many of you coming to our site are already in withdrawal and reading is
difficult. You can click chapter number 14 located on the right side of this
page for answers or call us toll free at 1-866-892-0238 or send us an e-mail to
info@theroadback.org and we can guide you through what needs to be done.
You do not have to purchase a book to start our program All chapters of the
bestselling book, How to Get Off Psychiatric Drugs Safely, 2010 Edition, are
located on the right side of this web site. We suggest you start with A Note
From James Harper, Founder, The Road Back, and proceed through the chapters.
This is a time not to rush, but to educate yourself as much as possible, decide
on the method you will use and then proceed.
You may have found other antidepressant withdrawal programs that seem similar to
The Road Back. Since 1999, our founder James Harper has trained hundreds of
healthcare providers and some have made a little change to this program and
relabeled it in their own name. These other programs are not causing harm, but
they are still using the withdrawal methods taught between 1999 and 2005 and
there are much better successes with the new discoveries since those early
years.
Here is what one psychiatrist has to say about The Road Back Program
"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
