Prescription Drug Taper Program

Are you going through a steroid withdrawal? Tapering off drugs used for mental-emotional symptoms; such as depression? Anxiety?

Psych drug taper-adjunct withdrawal: While tapering (coming off) of drugs prescribed for depression, or anxiety patients often report many symptoms which we have been able to reduce (see scope of practice to see what may be prescribed, or used by Dr. Pourhassani, DACM).

Steroid taper- adjunct comfort measure coming off of, or reducing the dose of steroids you have been taking can cause a lot of physical discomfort, even when you are tapering appropriately.

Dr. Pourhassani, DACM may be able to help reduce the symptoms associated with reducing (tapering) steroids. Predinose is a common corticosteroid which causes discomfort during a taper, and weeks following the end of taper. 

This is informational content. You require an indepth evaluation by Dr. Pourhassani, DACM, which includes a review of your medical records.  She will establish based on the evaluation if she may be able to help you. You may be provided recommendations based on her scope of practice. 

Not everyone will be a good candidate to work with Dr. Pourhassani. She will only accept your case for an initial trial, which will require periodic re-evaluations, may include referrals, new recommendations.

We are not claiming you have a simple problem, you have an iatrogenic problem for which no appropriate solutions exist. Nor is it a concern for most physicians; discomfort from detoxing, tapering, and changing to new drugs is not perceived as a concern requiring an intervention.

Dr. Pourhassani understands you are suffering, and you need help to reduce the physical and psychological suffering due to tapering.  She has taken care of many who have suffered such painful consequences of pharmaceuticals.

PSA: Not all acupuncturists are educated to help with such conditions. Your medical records must be reviewed. The drugs you consume (RX’d,  OTC, street drugs) and supplements must be evaluated by the acupuncturist. You must be given a treatment plan (if they tell you, you can come anytime you want, they will not be able to help you.) If you do not follow treatment recommendations; you will fail.  You are not educated, or understand how this problem must be addressed. I see failures due to patients not taking acupuncture seriously, and acupuncturist held hostage by non-complaint patients.  In my practice you will be discharged for not following recommendations.

Do you take insurance? No, your insurance does not cover this service.

Can I schedule an appointment for acupuncture to get off drugs? No, you need to schedule an evaluation and consultation to learn how this may work, how it may not work, what is required from you. And, ultimately, if the doctor thinks you are a good fit for her program.
