Here are some helpful articles:

Withdrawal from Psychiatric Meds Can Be Painful, Lengthy | World of Psychology

This new forum is a place to discuss this important issue, including topics about titration schedules, coping mechanisms for side effects, decreasing the side effects, etc.

Enjoy!

DocJohn, Do you believe that everyone can eventually get/should be off meds? Do psychologist believe that DXs like BiPolar & schizophrenia are medical conditions or strictly treatable with therapy ? I was just wondering. I always feel torn when I see forums like this because I think I shouldn't need
medication and should have handled my diagnosis years ago. Thank you
