Math: Illinois Doctor Needee


Recommended Posts

Posted (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?

You could look into True You Psychiatry or Josef Witt-Doerring, but I'm not sure what states they're licensed in.

2003-2009 on and off various SSRI's for short periods

2010-2011 Ativan

2013-2021 ativan 1-1.5mg 10-12x/month

2016 - Effexor 75mg, short-term

2021 Mar -Jun Buspar ADR at high dose, tapered 3 months

Oct 22/21 - Direct switch ativan to clonazepam (don't do this)

Tapered clonaz Oct/21 - Apr/23  - 0mg!

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.
