"Hyperbolic Tapering with Dr. Mark Horowitz: A Neuroscience-Based Approach to Safely Stop Antidepressants"
Struggling to come off antidepressants? You're not alone. Most patients receive little to no support when discontinuing these medications, with withdrawal symptoms often misdiagnosed as relapse. In this comprehensive webinar, Dr. Mark Horowitz—clinical research fellow at University College London and internationally recognized expert on psychiatric drug dependence—reveals why standard tapering methods fail and introduces hyperbolic tapering, a revolutionary neuroscience-based approach.
Dr. Horowitz explains the non-linear relationship between antidepressant dose and brain receptor occupancy, demonstrating why small, precisely calculated reductions at lower doses are critical for success. You'll learn the neurobiological mechanisms behind withdrawal symptoms, how to distinguish them from relapse, and evidence-based strategies for safely discontinuing medications.
This session is ideal for patients, clinicians, and caregivers seeking effective alternatives to address the epidemic of long-term antidepressant use, where most people take these medications for 5+ years despite intended use of less than one year.
Featuring real-world examples and practical implementation guidance from Outro Health's clinician-guided model, this webinar offers hope and practical solutions for one of psychiatry's most challenging problems.
