Okay, I have been going to this clinic for about 6 years now and within the last year- (8 months to be exact) I have been hospitalized twice for medical negligence or just negligence of a doctor's carelessness towards cutting me off of all medications and me ending up with, with-drawls and suffering from anxieties, depression, anger, stress, suicidal thoughts and attempts, insomnia, sleep disorders, the shakes, ADHD, ADD and OCD, and Bipolar issues and do I have a case considering all of that considering that I have never abused my medications or mistook any? And the two doctors that I did currently see were always to have bad manners and never took me seriously when I told them what was wrong with me, and they cut me cold turkey, knowing that I told them that I have these problems currently. But do I have a chance?
This all happen right when they stopped the medication. No reducing it or down dosing, just complete halt of it. It's a fact that you cannot stop medication cold turkey. I almost died twice from this mistake. It was 2 doctors at the same clinic.

Which kind of lawyer would i have to use? Where I live, there is no lawyer that would take on medical malpractice/negligence cases. Help/Advice?

I doubt it. Medicine withdraw is sometimes necessary if a doctor thinks you may have become addicted to it or you've reacted badly to it. I can't see two doctors making the same medical mistake. There's a reason they both stopped your medication.

They are 100% wrong. Those types of medications can never be stopped cold turkey. They should have put you on a tapering schedule and monitored your progress. They should also have told you why they were stopping the medications. People with mental health issues are often treated the way they treated you. I hope you can find another place to go for better care.

Yes you do have a claim in negligence. Consult a lawyer so that they can prepare the necessary documents if you want to receive compensation through the courts. If not, then using your lawyer, you can settle out of court, either way, the lawyer can advise on which way is better for you in the long term.
