Medical Note
Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy and is not a replacement for medical care. Any decisions regarding medication should always be made with your GP or prescribing doctor.
Medical Disclaimer for Offering Antidepressant Tapering Support
Antidepressant Tapering and Withdrawal
Some people experience significant withdrawal symptoms when reducing or stopping antidepressant medication, particularly when reductions are made too quickly. The appropriate rate of tapering varies considerably, and people who have taken antidepressants for a long time may need smaller reductions over a much longer period.
I can offer complementary emotional and mindset support to people who are considering or undergoing an antidepressant taper. However, I do not prescribe medication or devise, manage or medically supervise tapering schedules.
Any decision to reduce or discontinue antidepressants should be discussed with the prescribing clinician. If you feel that the proposed reduction is too rapid, or your withdrawal symptoms are not being recognised, you may also wish to seek advice from a clinician or service with specialist knowledge of psychiatric-drug withdrawal.
Further specialist information and support is available through DrugTaper. DrugTaper is based in the United States, so its medical services and prescribing arrangements may differ from those in the UK.
That retains your genuinely useful warning, acknowledges the limitations people sometimes encounter in routine practice, and makes it completely clear that your support is complementary—not the tapering itself.
I would also link to the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ stopping-antidepressants guidance. That strengthens your argument using a recognised UK professional source rather than weakening it
