And we're also told for as long as I remember that they're safe and effective. This has been like one of the major slogans. Like, don't worry, just we will play with the dose or we can switch to a different medication. But ultimately, we know what we're doing. and it will be safe, you will be okay.

But as you mentioned all this, there is incredible side effects, and at least in the dog training arena, when I try to work with a very difficult problem dog that's been already for three years, I mean, dog's life is...

15 years max let's say three years a young dog on fluoxetine for three years gabapentin trazodone and some other cbd like just and without any outcome so finally everybody gives up and it's like let's euthanize it it's nothing's working we cannot change anything and When I look at the dog, there is just nobody. It's just this emotional blunting, like clearly, like with dog is very easy.

You can talk nicely for a second and they start wagging their tail or they show you some excitement, something, and there is nothing. And from everything that I've listened, and to you particularly, because you're one of the really specialists in the arena of tapering the meds, but with dogs, it's very difficult, and there is nobody that can really tell us how, at least yet.

But with the dogs, the way we, you know, it took me, typically it takes me about three to four months just for the dog to start to get a little bit excited about anything.

And it really just prevents, in my opinion, for dog behavior modification. actual success because the dog just doesn't care. He's like, I don't care kind of attitude, which makes it very difficult to encourage or discourage any behaviors and get anywhere with it.

It's very easy to, you know, leave it alone. But it's actually, that's not the case. Can you tell a little bit about how difficult it is and what happens usually, why people get back in it?
