I am frustrated (and so are patients) by how many drugs patients are prescribed to deal with psychiatric symptoms. Dr. Breggin has researched the drugs thoroughly and has taken the time to write about the side effects and problems the patient's brain experiences on the drug. This helps me as a physician to understand even more what symptoms to look for while the patient is on the drug and how serious the side effects from weaning might be. This is not information I will get from the pharmaceutical industry. And I want medically sound information, not simply information to scare me or my patient. I am grateful for Dr. Breggin's knowledge and skill in teasing out the pertinent facts for doctors as well as patients. Excellent reference book! I know I will refer to it repeatedly. Review: A necessary resource for people in today's medical field or people who are considering (or taking) Psychiatric Pharmaceuticals - Evidence WHY it is important to consider withdrawal of medications. Discusses issues and problems of long term psychiatric medication. Prepares the physician, family, and patient for realistic issues and difficulties with withdrawing the medication. Emphasizes the trials and tribulations that one will have to face during withdrawal as well as the safest way to start decreasing dosages. Wonderful & necessary addition to any physicians personal library. Very Useful. Since benzodiazepines, antidepressants, and sleep medications are prescribed so frequently. Note: Supportive nutritional and supplement therapies are not discussed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #211,108 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #33 in Medical Psychopharmacology #41 in Popular Psychology Psychopharmacology #205 in Medical Clinical Psychology | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (219) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.8 x 9 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0826108431 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0826108432 | | Item Weight | 7.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | July 19, 2012 | | Publisher | Springer Publishing Company | ## Images ![Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal: A Guide for Prescribers, Therapists, Patients and their Families - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xf96KUqxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book tells you the truth *by C***D on January 7, 2013* I purchased the book in order to give me more information when I wean my patients off any psychotropic agent.

Discusses issues and problems of long term psychiatric medication. Prepares the physician, family, and patient for realistic issues and difficulties with withdrawing the medication. Emphasizes the trials and tribulations that one will have to face during withdrawal as well as the safest way to start decreasing dosages.

Shows the ins and outs of what you may face and addresses it quite clearly and thoroughly. I've been off all my meds for 6 months and I've been doing better than ever when in the past I had struggled so much that I had returned to taking the psych drugs. Never again! And this book will show you the right way to go about coming off your psych meds safely. Remember that coming off requires a slow taper. Personally, it took me 5 months to taper. The book teaches that it may take longer or less than that and will tell you the safest way to get off the meds. Can't say enough for Dr.Breggin or this book! ## Frequently Bought Together - Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal: A Guide for Prescribers, Therapists, Patients and their Families - Your Drug May Be Your Problem: How and Why to Stop Taking Psychiatric Medications - Medication Madness --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/8302759-psychiatric-drug-withdrawal-a-guide-for-prescribers-therapists-patients-their](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/8302759-psychiatric-drug-withdrawal-a-guide-for-prescribers-therapists-patients-their) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
