@jfrog43 Wow, way to go!! You asserted yourself in primary care for a significantly lower dose tapering and reminded the provider that it is your life. You didn’t give up and kept up the negotiations. Finally, as you wrote you figured it was the « best you could at this time ».

Your provider really should help you find a geriatric psychiatrist (not physiatrist as your indicated - a physiatrist is a physical rehabilitation doctor). Is that accurate that you want to find a psychiatrist who treats patients for mental health and prescribes mental health medications? But then since you’ve also indicated that you have little confidence in the new primary care provider maybe you can do a search online or ask other providers you see for suggestions.

Here is a good place to start an online search.
