All About This Course
Trying to get off antidepressants, or know someone who is? Afraid of trying to get off the meds and not know what the withdrawal will be like? Do you like the lesser lows, but dislike the side effects or the numbed out feeling? Feel disempowered in your process of trying to navigate your own path around your mental health? Well, good news is finally here.
Ayurvedic Practitioner and Microdosing Expert Andrea Shuman has made a workshop for anyone looking for other options when it comes to their emotional and mental wellbeing, and who have either been taking antidepressants, have been considering taking them, or know someone who is trying to get off of them.
Given that a shocking ONE IN FOUR Americans is on some sort of psychiatric medication (and almost half of them are misdiagnosed), this is an absolutely commonplace issue. In this course, she details how capitalist fueled big pharma created this epidemic, how to tell if you’re ready to shift from meds to psychedelics, the pros and cons of microdosing, how to talk to your doctor about your needs and what questions to ask, and what to expect during the entire process from beginning titrating to a fully established microdosing protocol.
Like a practitioner and a best friend rolled into one, Andrea handles the subject with compassion, experience, and a hell of a lot of wisdom. Whether you’re on psych meds now, are considering going on, or know someone who is going through these things, this class will leave you feeling more educated and empowered to call in the health and future you’re seeking.
