'''''Withdrawal Method''''', originally titled '''Vagina Dentata''', is the second and final [[Album#Studio|studio album]] by American [[alternative rock]] band Die Monster Die, released in 1994 by [[Roadrunner Records]]. The album was recorded during October 1993 at RPM Studios in [[New York City]] with producer [[Steven Haigler]], except for the track "Slumber" which was engineered by Ray Martin at Shelter Island. ''Withdrawal Method'' like their debut studio album, ''[[Chrome Molly (album)|Chrome Molly]]'' (1993), failed to chart. Two singles were released from the album: "Slumber" and "Barknuckle", both of which also failed to chart.

In a retrospective review for [[AllMusic]], critic Eduardo Rivadavia wrote of the album, "no matter how hard it tries to be eclectic, ''Withdrawal Method'' never once breaks into truly uncharted territory, and if not for the haunting innocence of [[Alice Cohen]]'s girlish croons, there'd be nothing memorable about the album."<ref name=AllMusic/>
