  • Review the physiology, challenges and side effects of withdrawing from antidepressant medications, including on weight

Modules

1. Medication Withdrawal & Weight Gain

We begin with a discussion of “discontinuation syndrome” for patients coming off of their antidepressants, and the nutritional supplements that reduce the physical and emotional pain of withdrawal. Then, we turn to how to manage appetite dysregulation disorders and sexual side effects for those taking these medications.

2. Suicide, Sexual Dysfunction, & Tardive Dyskinesia

Module 2 takes a more in-depth look at sexual dysfunction as a side-effect of psychiatric medications, as well as uncovering more about the risks of suicidality. In addition, we will provide a unique and effective treatment for tardive dyskinesia—tremors or tics caused by certain antipsychotic medications.
