A member asked:
What kind of doctor is best besides mental health dr to help with the physical side effects from ssri withdrawal symptoms after being off the medication for 8 months who can help with all the terrible side effects its causing after 16 yrs of use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A primary care doc or a generalist would be best to manage based on current symptoms and findings on exam. It sounds like better adjustment will be needed after medical reasons are ruled out.
