Gentle Deprescribing & Safe Medication Tapering in Atlanta

Because feeling overmedicated should never be your normal.

If you have ever wondered “Do I really need to be on this?” you are not alone.
Many adults in Atlanta come to us feeling overmedicated, dismissed, or stuck on prescriptions that no longer feel like the right fit.

At Grounded Psychiatry in Atlanta, we guide you through a safe and intentional taper that matches your biology, your pace, and your nervous system. We use a root cause and whole person approach so you can feel clearer, lighter, and more grounded again.

No fear.
No confusion.
Just a supportive, personalized plan that honors your health and your goals.

  • Psychiatric deprescribing is the gradual, medically guided reduction or discontinuation of psychiatric medications.

    At Grounded Psychiatry, we specialize in helping clients taper off medications they no longer want or need, safely, gently, and without pressure.

    Our approach is rooted in functional psychiatry, using genetic & lab testing, nutrition, and nervous system support to help you feel better from the inside out.

    Common medications we help taper include:

    • SSRIs (such as Lexapro, Zoloft, Prozac)

    • Benzodiazepines (such as Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax)

    • Mood stabilizers and antipsychotics (as appropriate)

  • You might be considering to taper off meds if:

    • Your medications no longer feel aligned with your values

    • You’ve experienced side effects like fatigue, numbness, weight gain, or emotional flatness

    • You’re ready to explore a more natural, root-cause approach to mental wellness

    • You want to support your mental health with fewer prescriptions and more personalized care

  • This may be right for you if…

    • You’ve tried medication, but it doesn’t feel like the whole answer anymore

    • You’re sensitive to medication side effects and want more options

    • You want to taper safely and at your own pace with professional support

    • You’re seeking a root-cause, holistic approach to your mental health

    • Most psychiatric providers rapidly reduce your dose without any functional or genetic testing.

      At Grounded Psychiatry, we:

      • Run advanced functional lab tests to identify root causes like nutrient depletion, poor gut health, or hormone imbalance

      • Use your genetic profile to personalize your plan

      • Offer targeted nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle protocols that support brain healing and withdrawal resilience

      • Never pressure you to stop meds. You’re in full control, always

  • Every taper is different and the right approach depends on your body, your history, and your goals.
