A change.org petition out of the United Kingdom is addressing the extreme difficulty faced by people who attempt to taper off of antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. Â The petition calls on the Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt, to require pharmaceutical companies to produce âdrug tapering kitsâ designed to help patients reduce their medications over time. âAs it is now, many people who want to stop have no option but to reduce to the lowest possible dosage then âjump offâ which can be extremely challenging,â the petition reads. âSome users simply carry on taking a drug beyond the point at which it was effective and useful to avoid the challenge of stopping.â
