Why Do I Feel So Bad? Understanding Psychiatric Medication Withdrawal in Less than 10 Minutes
from The Holistic Psychiatrist · host Alice W. Lee, MD, ABIHM, ABoIM
Most people don’t really understand psychiatric medication withdrawal, so it’s easy to assume that all one has to do is lower the medication slowly and the body will do the rest. That is why so many people fail to successfully get off their medications, just as people may fail in trying to quit smoking. Here’s a brief explanation of the nature of medication withdrawal—its effects on receptors, neurotransmitters, glands, immune system, and co-enzymes—in less than 10 minutes!For more about Dr. Lee, please visit: Website: www.holisticpsychiatrist.comYouTube: The Holistic PsychiatristClick on the Holistic Updates Sign up for weekly stories and insights: Holistic UpdatesTo schedule consultations or appointments, call her office at 240-437-7600 The content provided by this podcast is for informational purposes only and has not been approved by the U.S. FDA.
