Description

Let’s Talk Withdrawal was started with a simple aim, to share lived experience accounts of psychiatric drug withdrawal and to provide interviews with experts in the field. Psychiatric drug withdrawal remains a largely hidden, seldom discussed issue, yet affects countless people. We aim to add to the discussion and debate. Our interviews include people with experience of taking and coming off antidepressants, antipsychotics and benzodiazepines.
