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.
Was using Lexapro for about 35 days and had horrible side effects Including extreme agitation, restlessness, and horrible insomnia. Called my doc and told him I’m not taking it anymore.. he agreed, and gave me guidance on how to wean off it. Grateful for my doctor, but going to try a holistic route to treat the anxiety.
@@pcorp09I was only on 5 mg for a little over a month. Due to the side effects and wanting to stop, I consulted with my doctor. 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. A little sluggish too.
@@pcorp09 you don't really need to taper after a month. If you do, don't take longer than a week or two otherwise you're just getting even more dependent on it. After like 3 months is where you prolly definitely wanna taper. But this is just rough info.
@@pcorp09 it'll be more comfortable probably tho to like take maybe a quarter a pill for like a week? Something like that? Work with your doctor but you could prolly not have to taper. But if it's too rough, take just a tiny bit to sort of ease it out if your body has started to adapt to the drug already.
We get gas lit as patients. We have to go along with what the doctor says and do what we need to do at home. Fill the script and don’t let on like you’re changing anything if you and your doctor aren’t on the same page about tapering/being on meds. They just don’t know.
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.
In part, doctors are holding down their job description, the status quo for them and their leaders in the Psychiatry-pharmaceutical co-franchise. Patients need to arrange their own improvements and work with peers! @@Hollyucinogen
@@stevekaylor5606 Yeah, I agree. A lot of them care more about maintaining the status quo and making money than the actual health of their patient. I have a medical condition that I figured out on my own because doctors just kept just saying, "You're depressed, go to therapy and take anti-depressants" for nearly 30 years (I actually have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis - figured out by myself).
I have been taking antidepressants for almost 28 years years, and I am now suffering from immune disease, muscles stiffiness, cronic pain, and stomach and gut problems. My psychiayer tells me it is not because of the antidepressants.
I took antidepressants for 20 years. I've been off of them for almost 4 years .I still have gut issues. Stay away from sugar, caffeine, alcohol, dairy, and flour. Eat alot of greens and fruits.
Will do! I’m been in severe protracted withdrawal from antidepressants for 3. years. The groups have been my ONLY resource. It’s criminal that we can’t get help from the medical community. I’ve met with Mark via Zoom. He is saving a lot of lives ❤
I was on venlavaxine,stopped about 6 months ago could not function on it and made me sweat profusely with minimum movement, tbh stop doing drugs all together, eat a moderately healthy diet without processed food ,proteins and mono and polyunsaturated fats and do regular exercise at least 20mins of cardio a day

I'm sick on the meds and get even sicker trying to taper even when I go super slowly. I've had severe akathisia multiple times now and it seems like it's completely unavoidable for me no matter what I do.
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!

Well, well, he does seem to exploit his position on a public platform. Aftet a long admission in a mental health facility I have come to realize that psychiatry is detrimental to well-being. 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.
My old doctor didnt listen, got a new doctor, he dont listen, told him my symptoms and wanted off DuLoxetine, he referred me to psychos meds, and told me to see a physicist. And all my symptoms , not all are written in black and white. I have no faith in big pharma are doctors at this point. 😢 Im getting off it, put he gave me 9 days of 30 mgs from 60 mgs, and thats it. Im going to the Pharmist tomorrow, to find out the proper way to wing off, Im on this for pain, nothing else, and it never worked. Will have the Pharmist write down how to wing off, because either these doctors refuse to see are they are tied into big pharma. What the hell is wrong these people. Paid off?
Cymbalta is Zeldox....? After 16 years on Zeldox I changed it back on Risperidone. I quit Zeldox overnight, cold turkey because of sweating and overheating side effects. Also insomnia for 5 last years left me in bad shape. Taking Risperidone 4 mg since January 2024 and have been sleeping each night 6 to 8 hours. Sweating decreased 70%.
Going off psych drugs is a popular subject. Many patients are on wrong meds with tons of side effects, and no wonder they feel like hell. It's hard to find a better shrink and cure the problem satisfactorily. So people think dopes are not needed and they quit. But if you have Schizophrenia, Bipolar, OCD, BPD, ADD, PTSD, and MPD, you need meds for that. Alone, it is impossible to come out of that crap. If you are on drugs and they don't work, you have rights to change doc and treatment options. But if you have strong disorder symptoms, it is better to get help than to battle your demons on your own. Professionals may be honest or dishonest towards you. It depends on the human you deal with. But if you have a caring shrink in your reach, you may fix the problem which bothers you if you cooperate. Speak to your shrink, and you don't need to be politically correct. Just take care of your health in a professional way. Don't be stupid and play chess if you don't know the moves on a chessboard.
True. I have panic disorder. for years. I have mild hypertension BP and it was under control. I tapered very slowly and had no problem for 6 months , then had a huge panic attack and BP spikes and had to go back on medication. It was horrible. I am 60 and have this problem from age 35. Yoga, meditation, and breathing help, but medication helps one feel normal, and do normal work. Otherwise I would be housebound.
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.
