Antidepressants don’t have to be forever
Get the support you need for life on less medication, with neuroscience-based taper plans guided by expert clinicians.
The first virtual clinic that helps you get off drugs, instead of on them.
Due to a lack of research, most clinicians taper patients off their antidepressants too quickly—leading to withdrawal symptoms that are mostly misdiagnosed as relapse. We implement the first science-based approach to tapering, to help you get off medications and stay well.
"I was on antidepressants for 15 years and when I tried to come off them, at the end of my Ph.D., I struggled with severe withdrawal symptoms. It was the most awful experience of my life. I found there was a lack of support and knowledge from clinicians and researchers on how to safely stop antidepressants and manage withdrawal, which led me to co-found Outro."

Why explore tapering with Outro?
"After being given repeated, poor advice from general practitioners and the psychiatric doctors in the US, I discovered Outro on the Surviving Antidepressants forum. My first interaction was a breath of fresh air. Finally a company who understands, is caring, listens and has experience in successfully tapering off psychiatric medication. Outro is setting me up to be successful in coming off my medication and I am thankful for that!"
