Withdrawal from Prescribed Psychotopic Drugs

Drug withdrawal is an important topic today. This new book is an international collaboration that includes users, psychiatrists, researchers, and academics committed to helping people understand the potential harm that prescribed psychotropic drugs can cause and how to safely reduce or stop taking them.

Doctors, including psychiatrists, prescribe antidepressants, neuroleptics, mood stabilizers, tranquilizers and psychostimulants all over the world, and, in most cases, without providing information about the risks of taking them and problems when stopping. The chapters include individual accounts of people who discontinued their prescribed psychotropic drugs, information about withdrawal groups, the most up-to-date research data and a commitment to safe withdrawal that will offer hope to many people.

Reviews

Millions of individuals have been prescribed psychiatric drugs, but many discover that these drugs – physically and psychologically – do more harm than good, and then, seeking strategies for safe withdrawal, they discover that shockingly few doctors understand the science behind these drugs' actions. – Bruce E. Levine, author of Resisting Illegitimate Authority
