Doctor who treats iatrogenic damage from psych meds?


rainy

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a doctor, anywhere in the US, that understands and treats iatrogenic damage from psych meds. I've been seeing an integrative/functional medicine doc for the past 1.5 years. While she has helped with some other medical problems, she hasn't been helpful with the repercussions of psych meds. I see a therapist that uses neurofeedback and I'm looking for an MD or DO that he can itegrate my treatment plan with. Thank you.

If I had unlimited funds, I would try Kelly Brogan in NYC. She is experienced in taking people off, not sure if she can fix things after the fact. Www.kellybroganmd.com. Next would be this website.

1st round Prozac 1989/90, clear depression symptoms. 2nd round Prozac started 1999 when admitted to dr. I was tired. Prozac pooped out, switch to Cymbalta 3/2006. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder due to mania 6/2006--then I was taken abruptly off Cymbalta and didn't know I had SSRI withdrawal. Lots of meds for my intractable "bipolar" symptoms.

Zyprexa started about 9/06, mostly 5mg. Tapered 4/12 through12/29/12

Wellbutrin. XL 300 mg started 1/07, tapered 1/18/13 through 7/8/13

Oxazepam mostly continuously since 6/06, 30mg since 12/12, tapered 1.17.14 through 8.26.15

11/06 Lithium 600mg twice daily, 2.2.14 400mg TID DIY liquid, 2.12.14 1150mg, 3.2.14 1100mg, 3.18.14 1075mg, 4/14 updose to 1100mg, 6.1.14 900 mg capsules 7.8.14 810mg, 8.17.14 725mg, 8.24.24 700mg...10.22.14 487.5mg, 3.9.15 475mg, 4.1.15 462.5mg 4.21.15 450mg 8.11.15 375mg, 11.28.15 362.5mg, back to 375mg four days later, 3.4.16 updose to 475 (too much going on to risk trouble)

9/4/13 Toprol-XL 25mg daily for sudden hypertension, tapered 11.12.13 through 5.3.14, last 10 days or so switched to atenolol

7.4.14 Started Walsh Protocol

56 years old
