yank the drug out in two weeks. It's like pulling foundational beams out of a building. So, so, so a lot of the patients we see are people who have been on medications for years and they are just at the end of the road.
You know, they every time they go to the conventional system, they get a new medication and they're not thriving, they're not doing well, they have brain fog, they're fatigued, they they can't sleep even though they're on massive doses of sedatives and their quality of life is just terrible. So typically that patient may find us at that point or they may even try and come off the medication and then they'll experience withdrawal.
And if you just like yank the drug out in 2 weeks, it's like pulling foundational beams out of a building, the whole thing just starts to collapse. And so while there are a group of people who who can come off these drugs pretty rapidly because their brains are very elastic and they they go through a bad withdrawal maybe it lasts a month or two.
There's a massive group of people I'm going to say millions of them who when you do that they develop insomnia severe anxiety sometimes psychosis and it's completely disabling and it goes on for months at a time. They're not able to look after their kids. They're not able to care for the home. they're not able to perform at work and it completely turns their life upside down.
You know, this is there's actually a way to come off in a more gradual step-by-step approach. And so that's the first thing that we do. Like we will do custom design tapers for patients. So that's a bit of a technical approach, but in a nutshell, we do these very slow tapers usually over a year, a year or two.
And when you do it in that way, patients, my patients, they can keep on working. They can keep on looking after their kids. They never get overwhelmed. They don't, you know, they don't fall into horrific insomnia or anxiety. And uh and we guide them.
