How to Quit Benzos | Effective Benzo Taper Schedule | Dr. B

How to quit Benzos? This is a topic that is very near and dear to me. I'll also discuss my recommended Benzo taper schedule. I want to reframe the question though because when asking that question, that sort of assumes that when someone is on Benzos you need to quit them.

I witnessed a miracle by watching this video. There is actually a doctor who is worthy of the degrees that are hanging behind him. I would do anything to have you as my doctor.

[jdp]

This doctor is the only doctor that actually gets how patients are really suffering. I'm so glad I watched this. I wish this doctor was near me.

[rickcolesanchez]

This is a doctor that actually cares people. We need more like you.

This is an excellent doctor. My taper took 5 years because of old age and health problems. My doctor was patient but knew nothing about tapering. Best thing I learned was to taper at your own pace, only what you can tolerate, but keep going. Half a tablet is a huge reduction.

[MikeTheTruthThatMatters]

It's almost hard to listen to this because I know of no doctors that would help like this. I just wish there were more doctors like this.

How refreshing to hear a sane and reasonable attitude, instead of the over-the-top fear mongering. Thank you, Doc! Very helpful

[adamfrazier]

I feel this guy understands addiction well. The whole idea of empowering the patient to control their own taper is brilliant.

[walsh]

THIS DOCTOR IS GOOD. He builds rapport, builds trust, HE EMPOWERS THE PATIENT.. everyone is seen as an individual. 🥰💜

[jamesperry]

U are a great dr the world needs more physicians like you

[byrongladsky]

You are probably the best and most caring honest doctor I’ve ever seen

[ryanstoudt]

5 months ago I was begging this guy for information. Today I am over 4 months clean from benzodiazepines. I feel like a million bucks. To everyone struggling IVE BEEN THERE, there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

There is no help for Benzo Withdrawal Syndrome . I took as prescribed for 10 years and was cold turkeyed because my primary doctor was afraid he might lose his license with changing laws. It is the most traumatic event that ever happened to me. It is absolutely inhumane. Thank you for saying that doctor. I was fortunate to have another doctor read the Ashton Manual and treated me and let me taper to my own accord for two years and then I leaped. However, those two years I was mostly bedridden and suffering daily. Still am. Things lessen but we need help and there is none available. My primary doctor said Protracted Benzodiazepine Withdrawal Syndrome is impossible, that it can not last two years. He is wrong. I am suffering still physiologically. Please keep educating and advocating for the benzo community who have lost countless friends to this suffering. It is a hidden epidemic that needs recognition. Thank you Dr B for all you're doing. God bless you. I hope I make it.

I wish there were more Drs like you God bless you my friend.

Excellent video. Your patients are incredibly lucky.

[irishman]

Every general healthcare provider in the United States should be made to see this video. You are a brilliant, compassionate man. You can not only die from the withdrawl from benzos, but also suicide. It was that bad for me, until I met the right psychiatrist who did exactly what you've described. Had I owned a gun, I would not be here when I was cut off cold turkey. This is such serious and important information.

[hedgehoglegs]

Dr. B, your advice should be heard by everyone connected to and affected by benzos. You've nailed it!!!!

[gascramps]

Words can't even describe the absolute torture of benzodiazepine withdrawal. No words.

[missbearlockholmes]

I think a lot of doctors let addicts suffer because they honestly don't like them. This man has real compassion, without enabling people to continue in their destructive addictions. Bless this doctor.

[brutallyhonest]

This doctor has the model every doctor should use. Every doctor must watch this.

[steventurek]

There needs to be so many more doctors like you sir
