At TaperClinic Tennessee, we specialize in the safe and personalized tapering of psychiatric medications, including benzodiazepines (benzos), antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and off-label medications. Our virtual tapering program is designed to help you avoid the dangers of rapid tapering or abrupt discontinuation—common practices in traditional rehab settings. These methods can lead to serious neurological injury, especially for patients tapering off long-term benzo use or other psychiatric medications. Our approach is to guide you through a slow, customized tapering process to ensure safety and long-term success.

Tapering Off Benzodiazepines (Benzos) and Hypnotics in Tennessee

Tapering off benzodiazepines (benzos) can be particularly challenging due to the withdrawal symptoms and dependency that often come with these medications. At TaperClinic Tennessee, we provide comprehensive tapering support for benzos, including:

  • Xanax (Alprazolam)
  • Klonopin (Clonazepam)
  • Ativan (Lorazepam)
  • Valium (Diazepam)
  • Temazepam (Restoril)
  • Librium (Chlordiazepoxide)
  • Etizolam (not FDA-approved but often purchased online)

We understand that each patient’s tapering journey is unique. Our tapering plans are personalized to your specific needs, allowing for gradual dose reductions that minimize withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, and neurological disturbances. By adjusting your tapering schedule as needed, we ensure a safe, manageable reduction in benzo usage.

Tapering Off Antidepressants in Tennessee

Antidepressant tapering can be a lengthy and delicate process, particularly for patients who have been on these medications long-term. At TaperClinic Tennessee, we help patients taper off a wide range of antidepressants, including:

  • SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors):
    • Zoloft (Sertraline)
    • Lexapro (Escitalopram)
    • Prozac (Fluoxetine)
    • Celexa (Citalopram)
    • Paxil (Paroxetine)
    • Luvox (Fluvoxamine)
  • SNRIs (Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors):
    • Effexor (Venlafaxine)
    • Cymbalta (Duloxetine)
    • Pristiq (Desvenlafaxine)
  • TCAs (Tricyclic Antidepressants):
    • Amitriptyline (Elavil)

    • Imipramine (Tofranil)
    • Doxepin (Sinequan)
  • Mirtazapine (Remeron)
  • Trazodone (Desyrel)

The tapering process for antidepressants may take several months or even years, depending on your specific circumstances. At TaperClinic Tennessee, we work closely with you to develop a personalized tapering plan that minimizes withdrawal symptoms such as “brain zaps,” dizziness, and mood swings. You’ll receive continuous support through virtual consultations and access to our exclusive online community, where you can connect with others who are also tapering off psychiatric medications.
