RACGP - Toolkit for Stopping Antidepressants

Featured Replies

This thread links to approved clinical guidelines used by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.

 

These are still linked here for informational purposes only. It is important not to make clinical decisions without the guidance of a qualified professional.

 

The toolkit itself states that:

 

"We recommend that you share and discuss the RELEASE resources with your doctor. The information in the RELEASE resources is not medical advice. Rather, the resources have been designed to help your doctor to help you."

 

 

This thread just signposts the fact that these guidelines exist, and does not provide instructions to follow them.

 

The toolkit can be found here: RELEASE toolkit for consumers - RELEASE toolkit

 

 

 

Of particular interest may be the tapering plans, as they provide tracking sheets that allow those following them to track their tapering schedule.

Nothing I say is medical advice, it is simply my opinion. I am an anonymous person on an internet forum with no relevant qualifications other than being badly harmed by a drug. For all you know, I could be an idiot. You are making your own decisions and part of that is deciding how much to listen to my opinion, if at all.

 

Perhaps you should consider this post an artistic work of fiction written for entertainment purposes.
