Millions of people are prescribed medication for anxiety and panic
everyday. One of the most common medications prescribed are
tranquilizers which can be addictive and habit-forming. Many
individuals may wish to discontinue their medication for various
reasons. Some have been free of anxiety symptoms for some time and
feel they no longer need meds. Women may wish to become pregnant
and others may suffer from bothersome side effects. Whatever the
reason, weaning off anxiety medications can be extremely difficult.
This Workbook, in conjunction with the corresponding Therapist
Guide, outlines a treatment program for helping individuals
discontinue their medication. This evidence-based treatment
incorporates the basic principles of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
(CBT), which is also effective for treating the underlying Panic
Disorder itself.
Stopping Anxiety Medication Therapist Guide, Second Edition outlines a treatment program for individuals who have difficulties with anxiety and panic to discontinue using medication, specifically benzodiazepines otherwise known as minor tranquilizers. These medications can be habit-forming and individuals may have trouble reducing their dosage. Many people wish to taper their use of these medicines for various reasons including, a planned pregnancy, personal preference, bothersome side effects, etc.
It is well-established that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a
rich and effective tool for treating a range of anxiety and mood
disorders and behavioral disturbances. Most clinicians, however,
have not been formally trained in how to administer CBT, and
integrating one of the many available manuals detailing
week-by-week protocols into their individual clinical practices is
a daunting task. Whether brief interventions are desired for use in
medication visits or whether key elements of CBT are needed for use
in an eclectic treatment practice, clear instruction is needed on
how to improve patient outcomes by adapting key components of
cognitive-behavioral interventions.
