Having dysbiosis can make it more difficult to taper due to your microbiome’s relevance to neurotransmitter and toxin production. Tapering will exacerbate symptoms in someone who is already prone to dysregulated neurotransmitter production, toxin production and processing due to an imbalanced microbiome.

You are welcome to schedule either a free clarity call or an Initial Consultation to start. If you would like ongoing support please look at our package offerings.

The addictive medications that POR helps you taper from come with gut function and microbiome altering side effects. Benzodiazepines, for example, slow down gut transit time and can predispose one to constipation and microbial overgrowth. 

Changes to Transit Time

SSRI's and Benzodiazepines can promote changes to your transit time resulting in diarrhea or constipation

Stress Hormone Receptors 

Your gut contains stress hormone receptors and is linked to your nervous system via the metabolites it produces

Antimicrobial Medication

Mood altering/sleep medications are antimicrobial, which leave you susceptible to immune dysregulation

The addictive medications that POR helps you taper from come with gut function and microbiome altering side effects. Benzodiazepines, for example, slow down gut transit time and can predispose one to constipation and microbial overgrowth. 
SSRI’s can increase the presence of serotonin in the gut, which speeds up transit time, making it more difficult for good microbes to maintain their colonies, and making it so that you lose key nutrients.
The stress of tapering alone can create changes in the microbiome, as our gut is filled with stress hormone receptors. Some microbes even use certain stress hormones as fuel.
SSRIs, anti-anxiety medications, NMDA blockers, MAO inhibitors can have antimicrobial effects on the microbiome. Reducing microbes that are important for regulating blood sugar and satiety.
