About Ask a Psychiatrist
What to expect, what we can help you with, and when to seek urgent medical care.
Is Ask a Psychiatrist emergency care?
No. Our form is for non-urgent questions only and concerns about antidepressant tapering. If you’re in crisis, please contact emergency services or a crisis helpline immediately. Do not wait for an email reply.
How long does it take to get a reply?
We typically respond to your emails within 2–3 business days. Response times may be longer during holidays or busy periods.
Can Claro specialists change my prescription?
No. Claro specialists provide informational services only. They cannot diagnose, prescribe medications, or replace your current prescriber. If you are hesitant about a dose change, please consult your clinician who manages your medication.
What kind of questions can I ask then?
We are happy to respond to any of your questions about potential withdrawal symptoms, dose adjustments, what to expect when reducing your medication, or how to discuss tapering with your doctor. The more specific you can be about your situation, the better.
Is your service free of charge?
Yes, submitting a question is free. You’ll receive our team’s response by email. Strictly informational, not a medical advice or clinical consultation.
