This is the first book to establish guidelines and to assist prescribers and therapists in withdrawing their patients from psychiatric drugs, including those patients with long-term exposure to antipsychotic drugs, benzodiazepines, stimulants, antidepressants, and mood stabilizers. It describes a method developed by the author throughout years of clinical experience, consultations with experienced colleagues, and scientific research. Based on a person-centered collaborative approach, with patients as partners, this method builds on a cooperative and empathic team effort involving prescribers, therapists, patients, and their families or support network. The author, known for such books as Talking Back to Prozac, Toxic Psychiatry, and Medication Madness, is a lifelong reformer and scientist in mental health whose work has brought about significant change in psychiatric practice.

Being in the substance abuse field as a counselor I find Dr Breggins new book Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal esp. helpful when dealing with my CT's since they all present in detox in a condition of drug withdrawal from different drugs, mostly opiates. Dr Breggin explains what to expect in a brief write up, that opiate/opioid withdrawal is not as damaging as psychiatric drug withdrawal.
When a CT presents with opiate/opioid withdrawal symptoms they are given methadone and Seroquel for sleep. As Dr Breggin says, CBI is more present from psychiatric drugs that are used in a detox than the opiates/opioid drug that the CT is being detoxed from. (pg 94) Page 95 explains that opiate/opioid withdrawal is more predictable than that of psychiatric drug withdrawal.
I'm glad he has clarified things with his writings. His professional help is valued by all sorts
of medical professionals. Dr Breggin also explains that women have more difficulty than men cause a woman's mentrual cycle can confuse withdrawal symptoms so that its difficult to distinguish if she is having withdrawal symptoms or menstrual reactions.
I can truly call Dr Breggin as the reform psychiatrist. He takes the time and effort to get things in the right order so that people can have an awareness of the dangers that lurk behind the pharmaceutical industry. Key points page 256 really puts a fine emphasis on the role that parents should have in the medication situations with their children.
Dr Breggin has provided a fantastic guide for doctors who find themselves trying to get a patient off of a drug, esp. anti-depressants, benzodiazepines and neurolyptics. The pharmaceutical industry is more concerned on putting a patient on a drug rather than getting a patient off of a drug.
