Video Playlist, Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring: Benzodiazepine Withdrawal

Thanks to previous posts by Miss Fortitude and Lapis2, I’ve discovered that Dr. Witt-Doerring’s YouTube channel contains an entire playlist about benzodiazepine withdrawal.  Topics addressed include:

 

Am I going crazy? Or is it my benzo?

How to find a good doctor to help you taper off a benzodiazepine

How do I get my doctor to believe that I have protracted benzodiazepine withdrawal?

Three things to consider before starting your benzodiazepine taper

How will I feel after my benzo taper is over?

How long does it take to taper off my benzodiazepine?

Best tapering strategy to stop benzodiazepines

How we taper patients off benzodiazepines

Should I cross-taper over to diazepam (Valium)?

Should I updose?

Should I do a hyperbolic taper?

Is benzo withdrawal injury permanent?

Why do only some people develop protracted symptoms?

(The name of the channel is Witt-Doerring Psychiatry.)

This is excellent. It should be pinned in the Withdrawal Support board, and possibly also in the Planning Your Withdrawal board.

 

Thanks, Libertas. Very helpful.

Yeah, great find, Libertas. I've watched a few of them over the last 24 hours, but I wasn't aware that there were so many. I'll have a look. Good for Dr. Witt-Doering to address these topics! It's great that there are now so many more resources available for people who are just starting to understand and address their benzodiazepine issues.

Thank you for the feedback, redevan and Lapis2.  I agree that these videos could be very helpful to our members and will discuss the possibility of pinning at least some of them to the appropriate boards with the team.  Libertas
