The Risk Factors for Drug Abuse

In this episode of Revolution Health Radio, clinical researcher Mark Horowitz, MD, PhD, joins Chris to discuss the best guidelines for tapering off antidepressant drugs safely to avoid extreme withdrawal symptoms. Dr. Horowitz offers his clinical expertise on why a linear approach to drug tapering doesn’t work with antidepressants and what he recommends instead, whether the risk of withdrawals from antidepressants can be predicted, and how both patients and clinicians have been undereducated on the risks of stopping antidepressant drugs.
