Math Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) Hi everyone, I’m new to the site, but I have been dealing with psychiatric withdrawal symptoms (from benzos) for a very long time. Currently, I am hoping to taper very slowly off of Duloxitine, but I need a doctor recommendation. I live in the Chicago area. I contacted Dr. McMasters who was listed on this site, but she is not taking new patients. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

Math Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Thank you so much for the suggestions @LotusRising! Unfortunately, I went to both websites and neither can help me because Illinois is not one of the states they can treat. Hopefully someone else will have another suggestion. 1993-2008- Zoloft 50mg Feb. 2008- Aug. 2010 Clonazepam January 2009- Aug. 2010- poly drugged switching medications rapidly 2010-Present- 90mg Duloxitine 2010- CT off Clonazepam (still struggle with Benzodiazepine Induced Neurological Dysfunction Today) 2010- Present- 80mg/12.5mg Valsartan/HCTZ (Blood Pressure) 2020-Present- 1.5g Apriso (Mesalamine- for Ulcerative Colitis) 2020-Present- 1MD Probiotics, Estroven, 1000mg EPA Fish Oil 2021-Present- 15mg L-Methylfolate Mid April 2023- Present- 1200mg Calcium & 50mcg Vitamin D3 Link to comment
