| 0:00.0 | So I had some questions recently relating to coming off of a psych drug, how to do it. |
| 0:19.3 | And I highly recommend you do this, but it has to be done correctly. |
| 0:23.9 | And what I mean by that is it has to be done under your doctor's supervision. |
| 0:29.2 | Why? |
| 0:30.2 | Because if you are number one dependent on a psych drug, you've taken it for a long period |
| 0:33.7 | of time. |
| 0:34.7 | And you come off of it too quickly, chances are you're going to have side effects, okay? |
| 0:39.9 | So you want a very slow transition of this medication with supervision. |

| 1:13.4 | So get some supervision, find a doctor who's willing to work with you. |
| 1:17.8 | If your doctor is not willing to work with you, find another doctor that is willing to |
| 1:21.0 | work with you. |
| 1:22.0 | Because the longer you're on this medication, the more the neurons are dependent on this |
| 1:25.9 | medication. |
| 1:26.9 | So any alteration can really throw your body out of balance. |
| 1:30.3 | However, you should start with a diet change. |
| 1:34.2 | And I'm talking about healthy ketoe. |
