Hello - I've been struggling with Lyme disease for about two years (late disseminated, totally curable, just a long/painful process to cure) and in the process of that one of my many doctors got me hooked on Klonopin to alleviate the anxiety and allow me to sleep.
So now I'm hooked on Klonopin, and, just as with Lyme, seemingly about 1% of doctors understand how nasty and prolonged the withdrawal syndrome can be. However, there is a network of doctors who specialize in Lyme treatment (they call themselves Lyme-literate Doctors or LLMDs) and Lyme patients can seek out an LLMD to receive informed treatment and care.
My question is this: is there a Benzo network of any kind? Or anything like it? Or, for that matter, is there any way to find out if an MD, psychiatrist, or neurologist is informed about benzo withdrawal?
Thanks!
