If you are on antidepressants or other ghastly psychiatric medications and want to get off them, here is news that will dramatically improve your chances of succeeding.

Of all drugs, psychiatric medications are arguably the worst. They are notoriously debilitating and extremely hard to kick. Indeed, discontinuing psychiatric medication can not only be hell on Earth but outright dangerous. It can seem, then, that for someone on psychiatric drugs there is little or no hope and that one is doomed to a lifetime of drug-induced decline and misery.

Well, I am very pleased to be able to tell the good people of Sussex that all that has now changed.

Someone has finally solved the problem of how to get past the hideous withdrawal side-effects that have for so long blocked the road to freedom from dependency on psychiatric medication.

It has always been the case that once the psycho-pharmaceutical industry’s disingenuous marketing ploys successfully persuade you to take their meds, they usually have you for life. This is a trap that has been very easy to be enticed into but distressingly difficult to escape. While doubtless very profitable for drug manufacturers, this is a very rough deal for their victims and we are fortunate indeed that it is no longer true. There is now a program available to you, which – if followed precisely – does give you an excellent chance of making it in safety to a drug-free life.

It is called the Road Back Program. It began in the United States in 1999 and, with good reason, has swiftly risen to the position of being the most widely used outpatient drug withdrawal program in the world. Over 40,000 people have now successfully used the Road Back Program to become drug free, which is a startling statistic for a dependency that was considered to be a life sentence.

If you have tried to come off psychiatric medication in the past, you have doubtless found the side effects of withdrawal to be pretty gruesome, so gruesome that the insomnia, fatigue, “brain zaps,” headaches and flu-like symptoms, not to mention the disorientation, anxiety and other mental phenomena are simply too much to be endured.

In 1999, the Road Back’s founder, Jim Harper, embarked on a personal mission to discover how to successfully help anyone who wants to be free of psychiatric drugs. He investigated antidepressants in a determination to locate exactly WHY they cause such devastating adverse reactions.

To cut a long story short, Mr. Harper found the common denominator of every adverse reaction caused by antidepressants as well as all other psychotropic medication.

Working from the basic building blocks needed to protect your immune system and health, and replenishing the vital nutrients that are dangerously depleted by psychotropic medication, he developed a safe “taper program,” which is a controlled, gradual wean down. What was developed was so successful that The Road Back Program can be applied to help withdraw from all addictive medications and street drugs as well as alcohol.
