Clients who want to get off medications

One of the many reasons people seek neurofeedback is the hope of getting off their psychotropic medications.   They want to stop taking antidepressants, stimulants, and/or tranquilizers either because it isn’t working that well for them or they are concerned about the side effects.  There are websites that cover these topics and I invite all my current and prospective clients to read them who are interested.   Mad in America hosts several bloggers who offer excellent information on psychiatric medications.

Harvard physician, Joseph Glenmullen, MD, wrote The Antidepressant Solution.  More than twenty million Americans, including over one million teens and children, take one of today's popular antidepressants, such as Paxil, Zoloft, or Effexor.  With the FDA's warning that antidepressants may cause agitation, anxiety, hostility, and even violent or suicidal tendencies, these medications are at the forefront of national legal news.  It is the first book to call attention to the drugs' catch-22: Although many people are ready to go off these drugs, they continue to take them because either the patient or the doctor mistakes antidepressant withdrawal for depressive relapse. The Antidepressant Solution offers an easy, step-by-step guide for patients and their doctors.
