Learn HowĀ to Safely Taper Antidepressants in Preparation for Psychedelic Therapies

 

 

Despite broad use and some benefits, antidepressants have several limitations

 

Their need for daily use, short and long-term side effects, as well as withdrawal reactions can complicate therapy and introduce risks to stopping 

 

This leaves people feeling dependent and stuck with antidepressants, even when benefits are unclear or side effects are present

 

Unfortunately, many professionals don't feel confident or comfortable helping persons taper antidepressants resulting in increasing and unnecessary long-term use

 

But what alternatives are there?

And how can you safely transition away from antidepressants? 

 

Psychedelic therapies are rapidly emerging as evidence-based alternatives for managing mental health conditions treated with antidepressants

 

This course aims to inform and educate about preventing the risks of antidepressant discontinuation, and strategies for proceeding safely

 

It also includes information on the interactions between antidepressants and various psychedelic substances
