Prescribed drug withdrawal process ...

Medications for depression and anxiety are amongst the most commonly prescribed within the Western World. For some people, there comes a time when they feel the need to withdraw from the usage of whatever their medical expert has recommended.

Dependence of such medications can create within the individual, who have overcome their original mental health issue, a frustrating, drawn out process.

Let me emphasise that withdrawal from a drug in this ilk is not to be taken lightly. Severe side effects can develop if the process is not followed correctly under expert supervision. I would never, under any circumstance advise any of my clients to simply quit 'cold turkey'. There is a specific process of withdrawal, best guided by a medical supervisor.

There are a few websites however which do offer sound advice, and if followed carefully, they can be most helpful. It would be prudent to consult your own health practitioner before beginning the process, but the following site gives some excellent pointers to the correct process:

Combine this with a process of erudite hypnotherapy and you may find yourself well on the way back to where you wish to be, rather than where you are.

Good luck.
