How to Get Off Drugs Safely

If you have ever tried to taper off psychotropic medication and had difficulty, if you are ready to attempt this for the first time, the decision you make at this moment in time is critical for your well-being. You definitely understand this is you have tried to quit psychotropic medication before.

I do recommend The Road Back taper program. This program has been successful for over 10,000 people over the past 6 years. You do not have to suffer through withdrawal side effects.

A normal success story: "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I feel 100% better!!!! Oh My Gosh. I cannot believe how great I feel. I’m actually getting "ME" back. I can see my personality, my spunk, my spark increase gradually each and every day more and more."

What makes this taper program so unique is, you do not even start to taper until you are feeling very well and if you currently have side effects from the medication, you wait until they are gone or so slight you can barely notice them. This usually takes from 1 to 2 weeks.

1. If you are needing more energy, nausea, feeling not quite there, feeling detached, depressed, want to feel brighter - Try the Power Barley Formula.

   "Soluble fiber from foods such as Power Barley Formula, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of Power Barley Formula supplies 2 grams of the soluble fiber necessary per day to have this effect."

   "CHD is the cause of almost 500,000 deaths annually. Risk factors for CHD include high total cholesterol levels and high levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Scientific evidence shows that adding barley to one's diet can contribute to lowering serum cholesterol."

   "Promoting health by helping people get better nutrition information about the foods they eat is among FDA's top priorities, because the choices that Americans make about their diet have a great impact on their well-being," said FDA Deputy Commissioner for Medical and Scientific Affairs Scott Gottlieb, MD. "The FDA review process for making health claims, when combined with our strong enforcement work, rewards companies that make healthier products while we enforce the law against companies that appeal to consumers through false and misleading health claims."
    

2. If you suffer from anxiety, stress or having a difficult time sleeping - Try the Body Calm
    

3. If you are depressed, aches, Try the Omega 3.
    

4. Just see if the individual product makes the change you are hoping for while you are still taking all of your medication.
    

5. Once you see there can be a change, return to www.theroadback.org and get the rest if the items to taper off the medication.

The reduction of medication is done gradually with a structured reduction schedule.

Once off the medication you continue to rebuild your body for another 45 days.

This is done through the use of a specific "Superfood" called Power Barley Formula. Power Barley Formula helps clean the blood, lower cholesterol, increase intracellular glutathione and usually gives people the needed energy depleted by the medication.

Omega 3 is used for moods, depression, anxiety, inflammation, and with Paxil, the "brain zaps."

Body Calm is used to help with sleep or better described to give you a normal nights sleep, increase liver glutathione and for anxiety.

Vitamin E is used for it's antioxidant value and works hand in hand with the Power Barley Formula and Omega 3 to achieve maximum benefit.

Benzodiazepines have been the most difficult to taper off of until now. The Vital Sleep Extract is the exact fit for benzodiazepine tapers. It is not uncommon for people to state within 1 week that they do not even feel like they are on a drug any longer.

The most difficult part of this taper is when you are about half way off the medication and you are feeling so good that you want to start doing things you have been putting off for a long time. You do need to just wait until off the medication for 45 days!

The Road Back details how to taper off antidepressants, benzodiazepines, anti-psychotics, anti-convulsants, and stimulants.

Why this program seems to work for about 98% of the population:

The text below is meant to be without technical terms. At least as much as possible.

Why The Road Back program works:

·         The tapering of the medication was published in 1999 and later adopted by GlaxoSmithKline and published by the FDA in December 2001. Great reduction of medication procedure.

• Why use the supplements for the taper?
   

• 98% of the population has at least 1 variation in the 4 genes needed to metabolize vitamin B 6, B 12, and folate. 50% of the population has variation in at least 2 of the 4 genes.
   

• It does not work to take a capsule form of B 6, B 12 and folate. They must come from a food source to bypass the DNA variations.
   

• Most people die in the United States from Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD). CVD is mainly caused when the amino acid homocysteine can't convert into other amino acids (Cysteine) and becomes toxic. This is known as hyperhomocysteine.
   

• Homocysteine needs B 6, B 12, and folate in abundance so it can quickly convert to the other amino acids.
   

• The Power Barley Formula used during the taper was designed to handle this problem.
   

• Roughly 50% of the population will have a variation in at least 2 of the 4 genes that regulate the phase II detoxification process in the liver. So, 50% of us might get along ok until we run into an overload of toxins then we have a difficult time of it for a while.
   

• The master antioxidant glutathione is found in the liver, each living cell, the brain and blood plasma.
   

• You can't force glutathione into a cell. The cells must see the 3 amino acids needed to make glutathione and let them inside of the cell. Once inside, the cell will convert the 3 amino acids into glutathione.
   

• Here is the catch. If you do not have ample B 6, B 12, and folate, homocysteine will not convert properly and homocysteine is on the direct path of glutathione production.
   

• Without ample glutathione within the cells, you can't remove toxins or the free radicals.
   

• Once a toxin is in the liver, glutathione once again must grab the toxin and move it out of the body. This is a different type of glutathione however. Not only must the liver glutathione be present but it must also be activated.
   

• Click here to read clinical trial that describes the role of glutathione in removing brain toxins from the neurons. (Opens new window)
   

• The story above is what is happening with the Power Barley usage. Glutathione is being made as it should in the cells and the brain and toxins are able to be removed naturally. Psychotropic medications / drugs kill glutathione.
   

• Transmitters and receiving points within our central nervous system are much like electrical wires. We can have shorts in the wire or a short on either end of where the wire connects. Fatty acids are found on the ends. Omega 3 fish oil's fatty acid help make these endings.
   

• This is why Omega 3 works so well for people tapering off Paxil that get the "brain zaps." It is like an electrical short.
   

• This is a short version of why the taper program works.
   

• If this seems too simple to the physician reading this, it is simple. It was intended to be.
   

• The Power Barley Formula, Ultimate Omega 3, Body Calm all work together to accomplish the above and much more. Professional athletes are now using the Power Barley Formula to help with recovery, Omega 3 for inflammation and Vital Sleep on the road trips to get a good night sleep.
   

• Surgeons are now using the Power Barley Formula to assist patient’s recovery time in the hospital.
   

• Psychiatric institutions are using The Road back program and all of the supplements to taper their in-patients of anti-psychotic medications with great success.
   

• Drug rehabilitation clinics are using the supplements from The Road Back Program to augment their existing program.
   

• There is a reason around 98% of the people that use The Road Back program make it through the taper and begin to enjoy life again.
   

• If you do not want to taper off your medication yet, try the Power Barley, Ultimate Omega 3, and Vital Sleep Extract and see if you do not feel better than you have in a very long time. Then decide!
