      Similarly, we can do our part as well. I believe I found this on MadInAmerica:
      How to Interview a potential Psychiatrist:
      1. Have you ever suffered from depression? (I understand that the depression rates are quite high in medical school.)
      2. Are you comfortable with the violent and oppressive history that are the roots of your professions and that still exist today?
      3. Have you ever thought about suicide? (I understand the rates for suicide are quite high for the Mental Health profession.)
      4. How is your marriage? (I understand there is a lot of marital dissatisfaction in your profession.)
      5. How do you deal with stress?
      6. Who is running mental health checks on your profession to ensure you are fit to serve the public?
      7. How many of your patients have you cured?
      8. How many of the people who come to see you are not diagnosed with a mental illness?
      9. What do you think of the methods that the DSMV uses to determine the criteria of a mental illness?
      10. Do you agree that shrinks should be paid on a results-only basis?
      11. How do you feel about me taping our sessions?
      12. If your children were Dx’ed with Mental Illness(es), would you want these medications for them?
      13. Would you ever take the drugs you are prescribing to me?
      14. Have you ever been medicated? (I understand that medication is quite high for Doctors and in particular shrinks.)
      15. Have any of your patients ever died of drug related side effects from the medication you prescribed to them?
      16. Have any of your patients ever committed suicide? How many?
      17. Have you ever been sued by a former patient? Do you mind if I FOIP that?
      18. How many formal complaints have been lad against you by former clients? Where can I verify that information?
      19. Do you have hospital privileges? Why did you lose them? Why not?
      20. How much money are you being paid for this visit?

    There’s a lot of now regarding safe titration but very little for poor people who came off the drugs both long tapering and cold Turkey. Where there is no help is if u are off and very poorly and unsure whether you are in relapse, rebound or post anti depressant withdrawal syndrome or both. We need advice on how to treat those ie restate and if so what dose and how to manage it and to manage paws. It seem the medics only know to say go back on full dose.
    On the surviving antidepressants site they say go back on 1-2 mg. We need advice for people already in trouble. Also big pharma should be forced to produce micro doses for achieving these safety measures.

      Most doctors, also, will just go with whatever was taught to them in medical school, so they'll just try the same thing over and over again as long as it follows the script. I've been on anti-depressants since 2011, and I've only ever had 1 doctor (out of 4) in that entire time who agreed that they didn't seem to be working. All of my other doctors would just switch my medications or add on a new one. Eventually it got so bad that I was on them 3 times a day, and they still wouldn't admit that they weren't working. I just decided to stop taking them on my own.

After speaking to my doctor, he told me to cut the 5 mg in half and take the half dose (2.5 mg) for 7 days and then stop. Im currently on day 4 of 2.5 mg. Since it was a low dose and I wasn’t on it for a very long time I was told the withdrawal shouldn’t be bad. Haven’t experienced much of anything but I am able to rest and sleep better.

    • @briliante767
      @briliante767 2 месяца назад

      Can I ask you what are you on?
      let me explain how imy situation went!
      this is the 3rd time I try to taper and every time I get into a a dark place !
      I tapered very easy with liquid taper from 50 to 45mg over a course of 3 months. After each mini reduction of the dose I would get wd after 5 days and it would settle after more or less 2 weeks!
      I started taper in April and my last mini reduction was in June 20th.
      i didn’t dare to go further with the taper even slowly cause I started to get protracted wd!
      I started to have extreme dizziness, nausea while at work , shaky, extreme anxiety , heart palpitations, insomnia and the worst when I got out on the terrace to enjoy the sun I started to have even more palpitations, anxiety, sweats and got badly heat exhaustion which tells me that my cns got really sensitive and couldn’t cope with it anymore . I got to ER extremely bad and they gave me benzodiazepines to calm down but that continued with diarrhea, extreme dizziness almost fainting, dysfunctional couldn’t recognize myself and couldn’t go to work which is very frustrating !
      could you imagine what would have happened if I would continue to taper! So scary!
      how could I continue reducing!
      I was hopping that that would stabilize so I waited from 4th of July when the protracted Ed started till 7 of August and I can tell you that it got worse!
      I couldn’t enjoy this summer! I was afraid to stay in the sun which I love or go to the beach! That I was calling not feeling myself as I never felt horrible on Sertraline!
      the doctor told me to go back up to 50 mg and to see what else can we do in the future!
      I don’t understand why is this happening but I really don’t see myself now continuing tapering I’m so scared ! My whole family is scared what I’ve been through!
      I was feeling every day worse and wouldn’t see improving!
      does this mean that at every reduction will this happen to me?
      the last 2 months feel like I’m dying because of this!
      couldn’t sleep at all and couldn’t wake up from my bed! Is this how tapering should be despite doing it really really slow?
      maybe I’m one of the unlucky ones that are not able to reduce!
      im conscious that I need to be on this in order to function and not because I really need this medication!
      the psychiatrist told me I’m ok mentally and wanted me to stop but what I feel is totally different.
      on top of that I cannot afford myself not to go to work! Do I have to punish myself this was with tapering and then loose my job and everything or I just keep taking my medication do a while and then try again later maybe 1 year…
      did you also guys had this heat intolerance and almost having a heat stroke during tapering?
      I was so dehydrated and nauseous !
      omg! I wish this experience to no one and still I don’t understand how other people can stop Ssri in 8 weeks without problems… are we a different race or so? I really got scared and only the idea of starting taper again makes me crazy!

What stood out is the need for psychiatrists to share that they are experts. The truth is that large pharmaceutical companies provide funding for research . Just think about it...why would pharma companies want users to stop using n their products. As for tapering, I completely stopped all my meds the day I was discharged. My admission was 12 months. And everything is fine for me...but mental health providers want to keep patients dependant.

      Nowhere does he ever state he wants to take everyone off their meds. But a lot of people are being put on meds when they shouldn't be and suffering severe side effects and having a terrible time with it. You talk about nose-diving off a roof. Just wait until you experience what akathisia does to you.
