The Antidepressant Solution : A Step-by-Step Guide to Safely Overcoming Antidepressant Withdrawal, Dependence, and "Addiction"

Rating:
Summary: An extremely important book!
Review: Dr. Glenmullen's book is a critically important and useful guide for those taking antidepressant drugs. The FDA has finally accknowledged the dangers associated with SSRI drugs and issued a "Black Box Warning" -- their strongest warning for a drug short of banning it. Antidepressant manufacturers have oversold the benefits of these drugs and downplayed the risks. Individuals that suddenly stop taking SSRI drugs are at extreme risk. These drugs must be tapered gradually. Dr. Glenmullen's book is extremely well written and is an important resource to people taking SSRI drugs.

Summary: A very welcome aid
Review: Reading this book gave me a platform for understanding the tangled web of a family member's dire straits. I passed it on to her after I finished it and she is now happily AD free. It should be required reading for anyone prescribing or taking Antidepressants.

This book does what a great book should do: educates and informs the reader while creating a potential for monumental societal change. I urge you to read it.
