Personalized, science-backed support for stable adults ready to safely transition off antidepressant medication with confidence and care.
The Offramp program focuses on the careful deprescribing of SSRIs and SNRIs for individuals who are stable and ready to explore life without antidepressant medication.
Our approach prioritizes symptom management and relapse prevention through evidence-based protocols.

You’ve Got Questions, We’re Here to Help
We understand that starting care can feel overwhelming. Here are answers to common questions to help you feel more prepared
Offramp is designed for adults, who have been stable on their medication for at least six months, who are looking for structured support for safely transitioning off their antidepressant.
The tapering process is very individualized and depends on a number of factors, including which specific medication you’re taking, how you’ve responded to past attempts to taper antidepressants, and your current mental health symptoms. The transition is customized and we’ll evaluate your response to the initial tapering plan on an ongoing basis, adjusting as needed.
We can slow down a taper if you experience unpleasant discontinuation symptoms, or if your original symptoms. Extensive education is provided to help you identify the difference between those two outcomes, and supportive approaches are used to address discontinuation symptoms. Medication can be restarted at any time if needed.
