A science-based method for safely stopping antidepressants
Grounded in the research and personal experience of our co-founder Dr. Mark Horowitz, Outro is the first virtual care solution dedicated to providing safe, evidence-based methods for people looking to stop antidepressants.
"I was on antidepressants for 15 years and, when I tried to come off them, 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."
