Dr.Fugate,

*Please do not discontinue any medication without the assistance of your healthcare provider. Abrupt discontinuation or rapid taper can produce distressing or dangerous withdrawal symptoms*
Thank you for informed comments on this topic. I write this in 2012 and there are still very few physicians who know how to safely taper patients off of SS/NRIs and mitigate withdrawal from years of serotonin, a neurohormone with extensive effects on the endocrine, cardiometabolic and digestive systems.
Please visit www.survivingantidepressants.org for information on SAFE tapering. The information is based on Dr. Breggin's work as well as a hand full of other international researchers who take part in the group on occasion.
I have worked with psychopharmacologists in the past and find the level of knowledge on Surviving Antidepressants to be on a par or above. There are several mental health professionals on the group as well. Another excellent resources is Beyond Meds by Gianna Kali www.beyondmeds.com.
Thank you again.
