Risk of Medication: 

• If you work with me you’ll learn I don’t believe SSRIs or other psychiatric meds work well long-term. So we’ll eventually need to stop them. Tapering off is hard, and most people underplay how difficult it is. I’ve made a short help page that I hope is useful.https://g.co/gemini/share/967ada1c3d36

• Check out this website BEFORE you medicate, know the RISKS

  • My rule of thumb when thinking about medication is:

    • Do 6-8 therapy-based sessions to see if that helps relieve symptoms.

    • If your going on a medication have an exit plan!
