Try finding a psychiatrist willing to help you through that. Most won't (it is seen as risky and liability-generating).

That doesn't make any sense. So if a drug isn't providing any benefits (or too many side effects) your doc won't help you to quit it ??

Often the doctor that a person has when they realize that they need to get off a medication is not the original doctor that prescribed the medication.

And yes, most psychiatrists don't want the liability of weaning somebody off a medication.

You are right, it doesn't make any sense--it certainly is not good for patients.
