Bristol Tranquilliser Project takes calls from people around the country.

Half of its work is with people struggling with symptoms from reducing their dose of an antidepressant.

NHS England said local health services should support people struggling to come off these drugs.

Local NHS says the project was only designed to serve the Bristol area and will close at end of September.
