Millions of people take psychotropic drugs such as amitriptyline, Cipralex, Haldol, lithium, Risperdal, Seroquel, Tavor, Trevilor, Valium, and Zyprexa. For them, detailed accounts of how these substances were discontinued without immediately returning to the doctor's office or a clinic are of existential importance. The world's first book on the topic of "Successfully Discontinuing Psychotropic Drugs" is aimed at those who wish to stop taking prescribed psychotropic medications of their own accord. It also addresses their relatives and therapists. In this practical book, individuals affected—along with a relative for the first time—share their experiences of discontinuation from Australia, Germany, England, Ireland, New Zealand, Austria, Sweden, Hungary, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the USA. All of them now live free or at least relatively free from psychotropic medications.
