🎙 Beyond the Taper: Understanding Protracted Psychiatric Medication Withdrawal & Paths to Healing | Holistic Psychiatrist Podcast
Welcome to The Holistic Psychiatrist Podcast with Dr. Alice Lee, holistic psychiatrist based in Salt Lake City, Utah. In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Dr. Lee dives deep into the often overlooked reality of protracted psychiatric medication withdrawal—where symptoms continue long after the medication has been stopped.
🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • What protracted withdrawal really is—and how it differs from normal tapering.
  • Why even "mild" meds like SSRIs can lead to long-term effects on the gut, neurotransmitters, and immune system
  • How genetics and detox pathways (like those found through 23andMe) can influence withdrawal severity.
  • The role of the immune system and inflammation in protracted symptoms.
  • Why proper withdrawal protocols and experienced guidance are critical for healing.
  • How Dr. Lee’s Energy Medicine Techniques (like EET and Infinite Intention Technique) are helping patients recover.
  • The importance of activated B vitamins and glandular support to restore health.

💡 Key Takeaway: Healing is possible—with the right blend of functional and energy medicine, individualized care, and a deeper understanding of the body’s healing systems.
