Hi, I'm lmcphx

Hi - I’m doing some initial research for tapering & seeing who might be listed as a legit deprescriber. Not just any doctor. I found this site online & am excited that such a place exists. Thank you!

Hi @lmcphx, welcome! I'm with you. I am so glad this place exists. The current state of things seems to be that most doctors just haven't caught up on the reality of withdrawal. Some have, but I mostly found them on YouTube (Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, Anders Sørensen, Dr. Mark Horowitz), and those aren't exactly the ones I can consult next door. I'm so grateful that the people "before us" gathered together to share and create places like this. God bless them.

Withdrawal is not a preview of who you are without the drug.
