In this episode, we dive into one of the most important topics for anyone considering psychedelic therapy: SSRI tapering.

Dr. Tracy Townsend (Harvard-trained orthopedic surgeon, now psilocybin facilitator and co-founder of Meadow Medicine) and Mike Townsend explore what it really takes to safely reduce or discontinue antidepressants before a psychedelic journey.

You’ll learn about:
• Why tapering is essential before macrodosing
• How micro-dosing can be helpful for SSRI tapering
• The challenges people face when reducing antidepressants
• What the science and our clinical experience tell us

Whether you’re preparing for psychedelic therapy, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand this growing field better, this conversation will give you practical insights and guidance.
