TaperClinic New York:
Leading the Way in Virtual Tapering for Psychiatric Medications
TaperClinic is proud to offer virtual care for residents of New York, providing a comprehensive tapering solution that allows you to safely reduce or discontinue psychiatric medications from the comfort of your home, office, or any secure location. Our virtual model ensures that your daily routine remains uninterrupted, offering access to expert tapering care no matter where you are in New York. Whether you’re in a busy city or a rural area, TaperClinic eliminates the need for travel, giving critical support to those too unwell from medication withdrawal to attend in-person appointments.
At TaperClinic New York, we focus on the slow, personalized, and safe tapering of psychiatric medications, including benzodiazepines (benzos), antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and off-label medications commonly used in psychiatry. Our approach ensures that you won’t experience the dangers associated with rapid tapering or abrupt discontinuation, common practices in traditional rehab centers. Instead, we customize the tapering process to fit your specific needs, providing a safer and more effective pathway to freedom from psychiatric medications.
Tapering Off Benzodiazepines (Benzos) and Hypnotics in New York
Benzodiazepines, often known as benzos, can be especially challenging to discontinue due to withdrawal symptoms and potential dependency. At TaperClinic New York, we specialize in helping patients taper off benzos safely, including:
- Xanax (Alprazolam)
- Klonopin (Clonazepam)
- Ativan (Lorazepam)
- Valium (Diazepam)
- Temazepam (Restoril)
- Librium (Chlordiazepoxide)
- Etizolam (not FDA-approved but often purchased online)
Our benzo tapering process is slow, steady, and completely customized to your specific needs. We provide flexible tapering schedules that are adjusted based on your withdrawal symptoms and progress. This approach minimizes the risk of severe withdrawal effects, including anxiety, neurological symptoms, and insomnia, which are common in those tapering off long-term benzo use.

You’ll also have access to an exclusive online community of patients going through similar tapering journeys.
