Antidepressants don’t have to be forever
Work with clinicians who can help you get off antidepressants for good, using the first science-based tapering methods.
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."

With a digital platform dedicated to safe deprescribing, Outro's programs helps you safely transition off antidepressants with personalized tapering and ongoing support—all through the convenience of virtual care.
"After being given repeated, poor advice from general practitioners and the psychiatric doctors in the US, I discovered Outro on the Surviving Antidepressants forum. My first interaction was a breath of fresh air. Finally a company who understands, is caring, listens and has experience in successfully tapering off psychiatric medication. Outro is setting me up to be successful in coming off my medication and I am thankful for that!"
