How to Get Off Psychiatric Drugs Safely by Jim Harper
The Road Back is a program developed in 1999 to assist individuals to taper off
medication and eliminate existing side effects a person may be experiencing from
the medication. As of May 2008, The Road Back Program has helped over 30,000
individuals taper off their medication.
The Road Back book, How to Get Off Psychiatric Drugs Safely, details the entire process and is available for free on this Web Site in entirety. This is the second edition. This book is also available in print. Click here if you wish to purchase. (Opens new browser window) You will find all chapters on the left side of this page. We have included a "printer friendly page" for all chapters as well. The link to the "printer friendly page" is located near the top left of each page. The Road Back Program handles side effects caused by benzodiazepine, anti-anxiety, anticonvulsant, sleep medication, antidepressants, anti-psychotic, and ADHD medication, allowing a person to taper off the medication virtually side effect free. Many people are not sure if they want to quit their medication, but they do need to find a way to get rid of the existing side effects. Regardless, you can use this program as well and then decide, if you really need the medication. * Many of you may feel you are the only one going through what ever you are going through.

The dreaded benzodiazepine withdrawal side effects of increased anxiety and insomnia no longer need to be the case. Even Klonopin, Valium and Ativan withdrawal side effects are now handled regularly by people using this program. If you have have tried to get off a benzodiazepine or sleep medication before and you suffered or things only got worse, there is an answer. With this program you do not even begin to lower your medication until all or nearly all of your existing side effects are gone. Take a moment and imagine how it would feel to be able to lower the drug and feel good during the process. It can happen and does happen each day for thousands of people. Antidepressants,
