"When I first contacted the Outro team, I was met with compassion and understanding. For me, this is the ultimate missing piece in most traditional approach to tapering off antidepressants."

Lilly

Tapering Sertraline

"My primary care doctor told me to stop cold turkey and after 48 hours I was so uncomfortable I had to start taking the medication again and lost hope on being able to get off this drug until I found Outro."

Jennifer

Tapering Escitalopram

"With Outro, the tapering process is so much slower, allowing enough time between each dose to determine symptoms, and adjust the dosage if necessary. I feel safe and I feel heard."
