I have another question for you. When looking for someone to advise & manage my Lorazepam tapering
schedule or continuing on with my previous rx, are
Psychiatric Nurse Practioner /Geriatric
CRNP/PMH
It's almost impossible to find a Geriatric Psychiatrist
Once again, thank you

@jfrog43 Nurse practitioners who are certified and licensed in psychiatry and geriatrics are very good choices for care. You are so accurate. It can be very difficult to find a psychiatrist much less a geriatric psychiatrist. If you were a member of my family I'd say, yes, please do see a psychiatric nurse practitioner and evaluate for yourself if you are comfortable with that provider. Personally, I see nurse practitioners for some of my medical care in another specialty and I feel listened to and well cared for. I wish for you to find that provider who is very interested in you as a person.

Does this help?
