HEALING 101: Safely tapering off SSRIs with Dr. Mark Horowitz


Listen Later

Welcome to today's HEALING 101 episode featuring Dr. Mark Horowitz, co-author of The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines, a groundbreaking publication that offers an evidence-based approach to safely taper off psychiatric medications. Dr. Horowitz's personal experience with challenging withdrawal from SSRIs inspired him to investigate a new gold standard for safe medication withdrawal, known as hyperbolic tapering. This method, contrary to current practices, emphasises a slow and intentional process to minimize withdrawal symptoms.


With 1 in 4 Americans on antidepressants and many facing withdrawal challenges, Dr. Horowitz's work is more critical than ever. As the co-founder of Outro Health, a platform and virtual clinic dedicated to supporting individuals tapering off SSRIs safely, he is at the forefront of revolutionising mental health care. Join us as we delve into this essential topic and explore ways to empower individuals to reclaim control of their mental health journey.
