A Note from the Founder…It has been eight years since The Road Back Program, How to Get Off Psychiatric Drugs Safely, has been issued to the general public. Since then, I have had thousands of people, just like you, contact The Road Back, to help them in tapering off their psychiatric medications. We are now in the second edition printing of this book. This book is written for pharmacists, healthcare providers, and individuals. The information in this book is being used every day, by people around the world, in their endeavors to free themselves from the side effects of the drugs they are taking. I want to acknowledge the thousands of people, from the four corners of the Earth, and from all walks of life, who have had the courage to use, and successfully come off, psychiatric medications. Without their courage and participation, this program would not be where it is today. And to you, opening this book for the first time, I applaud you, for your courage and decision to change your life, and get yourself back, as your reward. I do understand the apprehension that you may feel about deciding to come off your psychiatric medications, especially if you have tried to do so before and failed, or if you have heard the horror stories of others who have tried to come off their medications. As well, I understand the questions you might be asking at this point:
·
Will I experience mental or physical pain
while
on this program?
·
Will I have other side effects while on this
program?
·
Will the medication side effects get worse
before they get better?
·
Will my depression get worse during this
program?
·
Will my anxiety levels increase? The Road Back is set-up in such a manner that you do not
begin to reduce the medication until you feel a major positive change and all or
nearly all-existing side effects are eliminated. This way, you will know change
is possible, there is a chance for you this time, and that you can do this from
the very beginning feeling well once again. The Road Back Program is simple to use, effective, and
extremely powerful, when applied correctly.
You too can have resounding success in getting off your psychiatric
medications and getting your life back. What feelings are coming from you and what feelings are being generated by the drugs? The Road Back Program separates these confusing symptoms, and once this separation occurs, the real you is free to emerge. One major change most people experience with The Road Back; their reach for life returns or truly begins for the first time. Reach is defined as: to extend out; to touch or to seize; to communicate with. Life is defined as: the quality that distinguishes a
vital and functional being from a dead body or inanimate matter
(Webster’s Dictionary). Per the definition of
life, you are vital. We need you and humankind needs you. The positive
changes you can bring to others are beyond imagination. Life can be grand, life
can be fulfilling; you, changing your life and having “reach” return does affect
others in your environment. · You Can Change. · You Can Change How You Feel. · You Can Be a Positive Influence For Others. · You Can Make It. As you read this book, perhaps you might be thinking”...this sounds good for others...” or “...others can make it, but not me...” Believe me, I am referring directly to you. My best to you in your journey, Jim Harper
