The first virtual clinic that helps you get off drugs, instead of on them.

Due to a lack of research, most clinicians taper patients off their antidepressants too quickly—leading to withdrawal symptoms that are mostly misdiagnosed as relapse. We implement the first science-based approach to tapering, to help you get off medications and stay well.

"I was on antidepressants for 15 years and when I tried to come off them, at the end of my Ph.D., I struggled with severe withdrawal symptoms. It was the most awful experience of my life. I found there was a lack of support and knowledge from clinicians and researchers on how to safely stop antidepressants and manage withdrawal, which led me to co-found Outro."
