Hi, I'm Emily

I started SSRIs at 14 years old. I was a sensitive kid with GI issues and experienced panic attacks. As a teen, I experienced depression in response to some tough life events. All things I grew from and outgrew the need for meds, but was stuck on automatic refill with doctors who resisted deprescribing. I failed 3 tapers starting in my early 20s. The first self-directed, the second with a physician who took me off too fast, and the third with another misinformed physician. Metabolic interventions helped, but I wasn't aware of the interactions with meds that followed. Happy to share my insights on ketogenic diet & other metabolic interventions. I have a scientific background and love learning with others. I'm on my 4th taper attempt, this time with Outro, where I've finally found informed clinicians. I'm here for support and learning.
