If your doctor is not giving this the proper attention it can be detrimental.
There is medication that can be used for withdrawal.
I’m passionate about this because what my doctor put me through was a horrible experience.
In all honesty, I should have sued him.

My PCP is on vacation and so is my psychatrist back Monday.
He has tapered me to .125 mg 2x a day. That was 8 weeks - saw him last Tuesday and he is keeping me on 40 mg Vilazodone that he increased to max of 40 mg about 5 weeks ago. He said trying doing the .125 mg 1x a dsy even though instructions say twice a day as needed. My body knows even on a low dose.
The sad thing is psychiatrist tine is 15 min. Geesh.
Back in Dec my Primary put me on ativan and Zoloft. Then I went to outpatient therapy and dr there changed me to Buspar and prozac 10 mg for 8 weeks - never increased it so this dr said that was not even a therapeutuc dose and weaned me off Buspar and did a gene right cheek swab test that show vilazidone might better work.
So here I am. Not feeling my best.
My psychiatrist wants me back in 3 months! I just saw him a week ago but I am not feeling any better. Maybe 40 mg to high but the klonipin was to be a bridge for a short time- not 5 months!!
