## Resource

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into a significant development in healthcare and medication management with the launch of FloridaTaper.com. This new educational resource, spearheaded by Dr. Mark Leeds, aims to address the critical gap in medical education and patient awareness regarding benzodiazepine tapering, withdrawal, and Benzodiazepine-Induced Neurological Dysfunction. The website offers over 60 articles and daily updates, providing evidence-informed content in plain language to help patients and clinicians navigate the complexities of benzodiazepine tapering. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the difference between physical dependence and addiction, a distinction often overlooked in clinical settings. Florida Taper not only serves as a comprehensive online resource but also extends its educational outreach through social media and The Rehab Podcast, hosted by Dr. Leeds. The initiative underscores the necessity of slow, individualized tapering plans to prevent harm from inappropriate treatment methods. Dr. Leeds, who practices concierge telemedicine throughout Florida, is also a member of the medical advisory board of the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition. For more information about his practice and resources, visit drleeds.com.
