Mark Horowitz, a psychiatry researcher, co-founded Outro, an innovative American vacation clinic specializing in safely deprescribing antidepressants. After a challenging personal journey with withdrawal symptoms, Horowitz aims to prevent others from experiencing similar struggles. Outro will operate telehealth clinics in seven states, focusing on the careful discontinuation of commonly prescribed anxiety and depression medications. Supported by the psychiatric community, this initiative seeks to fill a significant gap in mental health care and empower patients to manage their medication responsibly.
Many patients end up "parked" on antidepressant meds, but a new microdosing service aims to provide safer, guided ways to taper off these medications.
Mark Horowitz's journey to quit antidepressants highlights the severe withdrawal symptoms that many experience, emphasizing the need for structured support in deprescribing.
