Why Choose SafeTaper?
Why Choose SafeTaper?
You're not alone in this journey. Whether you've been taking benzodiazepines for months, years, or decades, we understand the challenges you're facing – and more importantly, we understand the path forward. Many of our patients come to us feeling stuck, experiencing diminishing benefits from their medication while facing increasing side effects, often without support from a medical system that prescribed these medications in the first place.
"Every patient deserves a doctor who believes they can get better" - Dr. Weil
The Reality of Benzodiazepine Use
The Reality of Benzodiazepine Use
What many patients don't know – and what many doctors haven't shared – is that benzodiazepines were only FDA-approved for 2-4 weeks of use. In 2020, the FDA added their strongest warning, a black box warning, about the severe consequences of long-term benzodiazepine use. These consequences can include:
Cognitive decline and memory problems
Increased risk of falls and accidents
Loss of medication effectiveness over time
Development of chemical dependence
Inter-dose withdrawal symptoms
Restrictions on travel and daily life due to medication schedules
Understanding Chemical Dependence
Chemical dependence is different from addiction. If you're experiencing any of these signs, you may be chemically dependent:
Signs of Tolerance:
Needing higher doses to achieve the same effect
The same dose having less effect over time
Signs of Withdrawal:
Feeling sick when missing a dose
Experiencing symptoms between doses
Anxiety or physical symptoms when trying to reduce your dose
Our Promise to You
At SafeTaper, we believe in your ability to feel better without benzodiazepines.
This isn't just optimism – it's based on our experience helping hundreds of patients successfully taper off these medications and reclaim their lives.
Many of our patients report feeling more like themselves, experiencing less baseline anxiety, and feeling more cheerful as they progress through their taper.

# Testimonials
I was motivated to taper off Xanax because I realized it was causing more harm than good. It was a crutch for me to not deal with the stressors in my life and it caused me to have more anxiety overall. Plus the withdrawal symptoms I would experience from not having it was terrible. • Now that I am no longer taking a benzodiazepine, my overall anxiety has significantly decreased. I still experience anxiety in situations that warrant it, but not day to day like when taking Xanax. It has now been a couple of months since I completely tapered and I feel amazing! • Dr. Lepp is the greatest doctor I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! I am so grateful to him and the work we did together. He is extremely knowledgeable. He really listens and provides wisdom for dealing with stressors in a healthy way. Dr. Lepp has changed my life by empowering me to taper off benzodiazepines and giving me a new perspective for acknowledging and dealing with stress and anxiety. • This experience has changed my life in the following ways; while I was tapering, I was also going through the hardest time of my life. I left a very toxic marriage with my son and became homeless, had no job, car, or money. Dr. Lepp encouraged me to continue tapering during this time, but to take it slow. He gave me the tools necessary to empower me to do this. I now realize how strong I am and Dr. Lepp is part of the reason why. I feel free not being dependent on a pill! And I feel stronger and more knowledgeable when dealing with anxiety and stress. I am forever grateful to you Dr. Lepp!
# Testimonials
I had inadvertently became dependent on Ativan. Fortunately only for a short time (couple of months) and low dose. I retained the services of Dr. Lepp because I wanted to taper off of it safely. I am happy to say that I've been completely benzo free since March 1. Throughout the 4 month tapering process, Dr. Lepp has treated me in a very kind and gently manner. He had great insight (due to his prior patient experience with benzo tapering) that really helped with the whole process. His assurances made gave me the confidence to successfully taper off. I would highly recommend Dr. Lepp. In fact, if he weren't located so physically far from me, I would use him as my primary care doctor.
# Testimonials
I needed help to even understand that I was physically dependent on benzodiazepines in the beginning. Dr. Lepp met my fear and reluctance with compassion. He helped me to understand my situation and supported me in the difficult journey of tapering. Since getting off benzodiazepines I have regained my independence and have control over my life in ways that benzodiazepines previously didn’t allow me to have. I cannot say enough good things about working with Dr. Lepp and SafeTaper. Getting off of benzodiazepines was difficult and dangerous. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done but it was necessary and I know I could not have navigated such a difficult journey without Dr. Lepp. I am truly and forever grateful!
# Testimonials
I am so grateful that I found Dr. Lepp and his practice. I unintentionally became dependent on benzos as I was trying to self detox from alcohol. When I tried to stop taking the benzos, I had withdraws that were equally horrific, but different to the alcohol withdraws. When I tried to approach my general practitioner, she refused to entertain the idea because I had alcohol dependency on my charts. She left me to make a choice to cold turkey from the benzos or try to taper with pills that I did not know the dosage, nor the type of benzo that it was. Luckily, I was recommended Dr. Lepp and Safe Taper. He was more than empathetic and was the first doctor to talk to me with respect and understanding about the situation. We made a taper plan together that allowed me to go at my own pace. I was able to return to work and tend to my children and my life as usual throughout the entire process. He took the time educate me about how the brain and body work through this process and understood that everyones experience is unique, catering to me and my specific needs. It took 9 months to be completely done with the benzo taper and I have never looked back. I have been successfully free of benzos for more than 3 years with no desire to ever return. I highly recommend Dr. Lepp to anyone struggling with this addiction. He is void of judgement and disdain and full of empathy, knowledge, and respect. I feel like I not only had a doctor throughout this process, but a friend.
# Testimonials
I had been on benzos for such a long time that I had forgotten who I was without them. While on benzos I thought they were the answer to my stress and anxiety when in reality, they were much of the cause. I would spend much time either on them, or coming off of them and huge emotional rollercoaster would ensue. My life now is so much more stable and tranquil. My sleep is great. I sleep way better than ever before and I can tolerate my anxiety without all the physical side effects of either being on the meds or rebounding from the meds. I am able to hold down a job and the peaks and valleys of anxiety are manageable. I let anxiety be my guide if there is something I need to do or decide. Dr. Lepp was supportive and encouraging the whole time I worked with him. He was a steady voice of support during the months I tapered, when my other doctor, and most of the medical community invalidated the process and the difficulty tapering and of withdrawal. SafeTaper helped me get my life back. I no longer need to worry about making decisions while slightly intoxicated.
# Testimonials
I began taking benzodiazepines to sleep and to cope with anxiety during a stressful time in my life. After only a few weeks, I tried to stop taking them and experienced withdrawals that made daily life unmanageable. After finding Dr. Lepp, I began a taper schedule and was able to quit benzos over the course of about a year. Over that time, Dr. Lepp empowered me and made me feel supported every step of the way. During my taper I went through many stressful life events, but because of Dr. Lepp’s help and the confidence he and the taper had instilled in me, I was able to navigate those changes successfully. I can honestly say that going through this program changed my life for the better, and I am so grateful to have found SaferTaper.

I was motivated to taper off Xanax because I realized it was causing more harm than good. It was a crutch for me to not deal with the stressors in my life and it caused me to have more anxiety overall. Plus the withdrawal symptoms I would experience from not having it was terrible. • Now that I am no longer taking a benzodiazepine, my overall anxiety has significantly decreased. I still experience anxiety in situations that warrant it, but not day to day like when taking Xanax. It has now been a couple of months since I completely tapered and I feel amazing! • Dr. Lepp is the greatest doctor I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! I am so grateful to him and the work we did together. He is extremely knowledgeable. He really listens and provides wisdom for dealing with stressors in a healthy way. Dr. Lepp has changed my life by empowering me to taper off benzodiazepines and giving me a new perspective for acknowledging and dealing with stress and anxiety. • This experience has changed my life in the following ways; while I was tapering, I was also going through the hardest time of my life. I left a very toxic marriage with my son and became homeless, had no job, car, or money. Dr. Lepp encouraged me to continue tapering during this time, but to take it slow. He gave me the tools necessary to empower me to do this. I now realize how strong I am and Dr. Lepp is part of the reason why. I feel free not being dependent on a pill! And I feel stronger and more knowledgeable when dealing with anxiety and stress. I am forever grateful to you Dr. Lepp!

I had inadvertently became dependent on Ativan. Fortunately only for a short time (couple of months) and low dose. I retained the services of Dr. Lepp because I wanted to taper off of it safely. I am happy to say that I've been completely benzo free since March 1. Throughout the 4 month tapering process, Dr. Lepp has treated me in a very kind and gently manner. He had great insight (due to his prior patient experience with benzo tapering) that really helped with the whole process. His assurances made gave me the confidence to successfully taper off. I would highly recommend Dr. Lepp. In fact, if he weren't located so physically far from me, I would use him as my primary care doctor.
# Testimonials
I needed help to even understand that I was physically dependent on benzodiazepines in the beginning. Dr. Lepp met my fear and reluctance with compassion. He helped me to understand my situation and supported me in the difficult journey of tapering. Since getting off benzodiazepines I have regained my independence and have control over my life in ways that benzodiazepines previously didn’t allow me to have. I cannot say enough good things about working with Dr. Lepp and SafeTaper. Getting off of benzodiazepines was difficult and dangerous. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done but it was necessary and I know I could not have navigated such a difficult journey without Dr. Lepp. I am truly and forever grateful!

I am so grateful that I found Dr. Lepp and his practice. I unintentionally became dependent on benzos as I was trying to self detox from alcohol. When I tried to stop taking the benzos, I had withdraws that were equally horrific, but different to the alcohol withdraws. When I tried to approach my general practitioner, she refused to entertain the idea because I had alcohol dependency on my charts. She left me to make a choice to cold turkey from the benzos or try to taper with pills that I did not know the dosage, nor the type of benzo that it was. Luckily, I was recommended Dr. Lepp and Safe Taper. He was more than empathetic and was the first doctor to talk to me with respect and understanding about the situation. We made a taper plan together that allowed me to go at my own pace. I was able to return to work and tend to my children and my life as usual throughout the entire process. He took the time educate me about how the brain and body work through this process and understood that everyones experience is unique, catering to me and my specific needs. It took 9 months to be completely done with the benzo taper and I have never looked back. I have been successfully free of benzos for more than 3 years with no desire to ever return. I highly recommend Dr. Lepp to anyone struggling with this addiction. He is void of judgement and disdain and full of empathy, knowledge, and respect. I feel like I not only had a doctor throughout this process, but a friend.
# Testimonials
I had been on benzos for such a long time that I had forgotten who I was without them. While on benzos I thought they were the answer to my stress and anxiety when in reality, they were much of the cause. I would spend much time either on them, or coming off of them and huge emotional rollercoaster would ensue. My life now is so much more stable and tranquil. My sleep is great. I sleep way better than ever before and I can tolerate my anxiety without all the physical side effects of either being on the meds or rebounding from the meds. I am able to hold down a job and the peaks and valleys of anxiety are manageable. I let anxiety be my guide if there is something I need to do or decide. Dr. Lepp was supportive and encouraging the whole time I worked with him. He was a steady voice of support during the months I tapered, when my other doctor, and most of the medical community invalidated the process and the difficulty tapering and of withdrawal. SafeTaper helped me get my life back. I no longer need to worry about making decisions while slightly intoxicated.
# Testimonials
I began taking benzodiazepines to sleep and to cope with anxiety during a stressful time in my life. After only a few weeks, I tried to stop taking them and experienced withdrawals that made daily life unmanageable. After finding Dr. Lepp, I began a taper schedule and was able to quit benzos over the course of about a year. Over that time, Dr. Lepp empowered me and made me feel supported every step of the way. During my taper I went through many stressful life events, but because of Dr. Lepp’s help and the confidence he and the taper had instilled in me, I was able to navigate those changes successfully. I can honestly say that going through this program changed my life for the better, and I am so grateful to have found SaferTaper.
