Laura Beard, MD is a Psychiatrist serving Dallas, Texas, working with people who want to reduce or come off antidepressants, benzodiazepines, sleeping tablets and other psychiatric medication. Deprescribing means gradual, patient-paced reductions — often a hyperbolic taper, where each cut gets smaller as the dose gets lower — rather than stopping in large steps. Practitioners can generally only see clients in states where they hold a licence, so Texas residents can start here.
