» Harvard psychiatrist Joseph Glenmullen's new book The Antidepressant Solution: A Step-by-Step Guide to Safely Overcoming Antidepressant Withdrawal, Dependence, and "Addiction," can now be ordered online. The Antidepressant Solution is a menu, or cookbook-style program, for tapering safely and comfortably off antidepressants. In a series of historic warnings in 2004, the FDA has asserted that "adult and pediatric patients" on antidepressants can develop an array of side effects, including "anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, impulsivity, akathisia (severe restlessness), hypomania, and mania" that may make them suicidal "when the dose either increases or decreases," that is whenever the dose changes. The Antidepressant Solution includes a chapter on how changing the dose of antidepressants up or down may make patients suicidal. The Antidepressant Solution provides the information you and your doctor need to ensure your comfort and safety whenever you start an antidepressant, change the dose, or go off the drug. A reassuring book from one of the leading experts on antidepressant side effects, The Antidepressant Solution is the antidote to the recent alarming news about these drugs.
