"There is a proportion of people that when they come off these medications too quickly, a neurotoxicity takes place. You have someone on the drug for several decades. They go and see the doctor. The doctor says, 'Just half the dose, wait two weeks, half the dose again, wait two weeks, and then stop.'

Some of those people will be in quite bad withdrawal, and they’ll call up the doctor and they'll say, 'This feels pretty bad. What should I do?' And then, the doctor will say, 'Well, it's a self-limiting problem,' because that's what they've been told to do. And so the person says, 'Well, I don't want to lose this progress. I just want to white-knuckle it through this.' And they do that.

And then, maybe a month or two months later, the withdrawal hasn't gone away, and they start to develop global neurological problems.”- Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring
