At TaperClinic Utah, we focus on the slow, personalized, and safe tapering of psychiatric medications, including benzodiazepines (benzos), antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and off-label medications. Our virtual tapering program helps you avoid the dangers associated with rapid tapering or abrupt discontinuation—methods often used in traditional rehab centers. These practices can lead to serious neurological injuries, particularly for patients tapering long-term use of benzos or other psychiatric medications. At TaperClinic, we offer a carefully tailored approach to tapering, ensuring safety and long-term success.

Tapering Off Benzodiazepines (Benzos) and Hypnotics in Utah

Tapering off benzodiazepines (benzos) can be one of the most challenging processes due to the withdrawal symptoms that often accompany these medications. At TaperClinic Utah, 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 tapering plans for benzos are designed to minimize withdrawal symptoms, including anxiety, insomnia, and neurological disturbances. The tapering schedule is adjusted to your individual progress, ensuring that the process is safe, gradual, and tailored to your specific needs.

Tapering Off Antidepressants in Utah

Antidepressant tapering requires careful attention and support, particularly for patients who have been on these medications for an extended period. At TaperClinic Utah, we help patients taper off a wide variety of antidepressants, including:

  • SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors):
    • Zoloft (Sertraline)
    • Lexapro (Escitalopram)
    • Prozac (Fluoxetine)
    • Celexa (Citalopram)

    • Effexor (Venlafaxine)
    • Cymbalta (Duloxetine)
    • Pristiq (Desvenlafaxine)
  • TCAs (Tricyclic Antidepressants):
    • Amitriptyline (Elavil)
    • Nortriptyline (Pamelor)
    • Imipramine (Tofranil)
    • Doxepin (Sinequan)
  • Mirtazapine (Remeron)
  • Trazodone (Desyrel)
  • Wellbutrin (Bupropion)

The antidepressant tapering process may take months or even years, depending on your personal history and the specific medication. At TaperClinic Utah, we create individualized tapering plans that reduce the risk of withdrawal symptoms, such as “brain zaps,” dizziness, and mood changes. You’ll receive ongoing support through virtual consultations, group sessions, and access to our exclusive online community of peers going through similar tapering journeys.

Tapering Off Stimulants in Utah

Stimulants, commonly prescribed for ADHD and other conditions, can also pose challenges when discontinuing use, especially after long-term treatment. TaperClinic Utah helps patients safely taper off the following stimulants:

  • Adderall (Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine)

  • Concerta (Methylphenidate ER)
  • Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine)

  • Strattera (Atomoxetine) – Non-stimulant often used for ADHD

Stimulant tapering is essential to avoid symptoms such as fatigue, depression, and difficulty concentrating. Our personalized stimulant tapering plans help ensure a smooth transition, reducing the likelihood of withdrawal effects while supporting mental and physical well-being throughout the process.
