beekeeper Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Can anyone provide names of doctors who understand or at least believe in extended withdrawal? I understand that there isn’t much doctors can do, but I would feel more reassured if I had a medical professional to at least check in with during this process, someone to help me decide if I should reinstate the drug or if things got worse.
