Psychiatrist in NY who is benzo savvy

Referrals, please.

Thank you.

ny or nyc? i know a very cooperative guy in manhattan, midtown.

you can pm me.

sorry, just re-read your post.

i know a drug guy. not a psychiatrist.

There is someone called Dr Brottman but not sure if he is taking on new benzo patients.

I only know of him as know someone who is under his care.

Dr. Edward Paul in Manhattan. A friend of mine worked with him. I spoke with him. He is rather expensive ( all out of pocket). He just follows the Ashton method of crossing over to Valium and doing a slow taper. He doesn’t know much else, like the use of scales and a DLMT. He uses a cut and hold approach ( I need to do a daily micro cut). I think the best thing is that a doctor like him would never force you into a fast taper. He understands those risks ( not all doctors do). I just decided to stick with my current doc and learn from BB. You may want to work with Dr. Paul, however.

All the best!

Thank you to all the people who responded.

Re the specific docs mentioned, are they people who would encourage drugs in protracted benzo WD? I'm four years off.

I need to be under the care of a psychiatrist but I want a doctor who won't prescribe drugs, if that makes sense. I want a doc who will know they are dangerous for me.
