Role overview
Outro Health is a virtual, evidence-based antidepressant tapering clinic and platform that helps patients safely reduce and come off antidepressant medications under the guidance of expert clinicians.[1][5][8] The company focuses on personalized, medically supervised tapering plans that use a hyperbolic tapering method, where dose reductions become progressively smaller over time to minimize nervous system disruption and withdrawal symptoms.[1][2] Co-founded by world-leading deprescribing expert Dr. Mark Horowitz, Outro combines telehealth visits with clinicians, ongoing monitoring, and educational resources to create flexible tapering schedules tailored to each patient’s medication history, symptom profile, and goals.[1][2][5][8] The service currently specializes in taper management for antidepressant medications such as duloxetine, escitalopram, sertraline, and venlafaxine, aiming to provide a safer, more comfortable, and more affordable alternative to traditional approaches to stopping these drugs.[2][6][8]
