How come nobody tells you all these before prescribing. One should be given all this information, sent to go back home and think about it and come for medication after two days when they are really sure.
Thank you. But reality is much more dark: Akathisia, tardive dystonia, tardive dyskinesia, anhedonia.. For 22 years Ive been taking Ssri and Clonazepam for anxiety and being obedient patient, trusting my psichiatrist. But coming of Clonazepam and getting to know what anhedonia is, made me question everything. Also seeing suffering of people in Antipsychiatry subreddit. That suffering could have been avoided. And nobody is doing anything to help those poor people.
13 years on zoloft. Stuck extremely numb and hard to quit. Tapered too fast at the end and knocked out with WD 3 mounths off. Cognitive problems, electricity and pain in the brain and CNS. Feels like injury, dysfunctional.
What dose of Zoloft ? I’ve been taking 50 mg for about 15 years (and some intervals of 100 mg for some months then back to 50mg)… I did keto diet to try to come off of it , but after 3 months without it , I got relapse and now I am again on 50mg daily with destroyed fitness life , low energy , extra fat , and low sex drive and soft erections as well … I don’t know if i will ever be able to stop it 😢
Doctor, I like that you are open to patients coming off psychiatric drugs and that you are acknowledging the stories of everyone here. It’s very good of you. Most psychiatrists won’t help with this. I’m not against psychiatric drugs but I’ve healed myself, meds free, after decades of multiple hospitalisations and altered states. I feel if most psychiatrists were to be open minded to psychiatrists like Dr Stan Grof, Dr Kelly Brogan and bipolar healers like Sean Blackwell and many others they could have greater insight into healing rather than managing their patients.
I was on cymbalta for along time. I took a year, slowly tapering off by bead counting and still had an awful time for almost another year after I completely stopped. Although I had other withdrawal symptoms, the worst for me were the brain Zaps and Extreme Anxiety. I was bedridden and became agoraphobic, lost about 40 pounds and was certain I was going to die. When I was put on cymbalta it was through my GP and not my psychiatrist (it was before I started seeing my psychiatrist), I was not warned about the side effects of the drug or how hard it was to come off of it. I ended up get on a low dose of lexapro because I couldn’t handle it. It makes me sad and upset that I will potentially have to take psych meds for the rest of my life.
Psych meds caused most of my " Severe and persistent" mental illness . Grateful to have been off all for 12 years! Suddenly was miraculously cured! Once I learned to feel the anxiety and address the issues instead of numbing out! It was hell getting off of benzos and effexor, and depakote and Adderall, but it was THE issue!
Psych drugs ruined my life and gave me diagnosed cortico-subcortical brain atrophy. Even the neurologist admitted that the brain atrophy was due to the drugs, but they take any accountability or tried to help me with it. The neurologist told me "well, yeah, but we gotta treat these illnesses, you know?" and sent me home saying "eat healthy, exercise and study". My gaslighty family was happy with the doctor. My diagnosis was based on the idea that I was lying when I said that I was being abused by my family, but I was being abused by my family for real. My family and the doctors convinced each other that I was just crazy, so they gave me those drugs to make me stop complaining about the abuse. When my two brothers accompanied me to the psych appointment and basically testified for me, saying that no, I wasn't crazy and they were both going to therapy due to the horrible abuse from our parents, the psych replied "well, I don't have to write any of this, you know?". I was a kid when they started giving me those drugs and they made me lose my consciousness for 8 years. My dog died, my grandparents died, they gave me life-threatening and disabling physical symptoms and refused to treat them for years, gaslighting me about it. They denied, downplayed and victim-blamed everything. They still act like they are the victims because I dared complain about the abuse, making them look bad.
I am so very sorry that u had to go thru this! I do believe these psychiatric meds cause brain damage without a doubt. And the longer u are on, the more u take, the more they will destroy your cognitive skills. Brain atrophy, sure. But the psychiatrists will tell you it's caused by your mental illness. I have witnessed my son, who was put on antipsychotics and ssri at the young age of around 15 or 16, all for anxiety. He is now 42. He had a mild learning disability but now he has the symptoms of frontal lobe dementia! I am trying to get him cognitive therapy to stimulate his brain. I can only pray it helps. You have got to keep exercising your brain. Puzzles, reading, music, TV, art, workbooks for even elementary age kids to start,even video games. Just don't give up please!
@@rosettebattista6121 Sorry about your son. That's horrifying beyond sufferable. On a side note, the next person that tells me what to do as if this all depends on me (it depends on whether my family and doctors stops abusing me or not, and if society stops giving me unsolicited advice and pressuring, shaming, guilting and jugding me as a way of "helping"/"giving hope"/"empowering", so maybe you should talk with them).
Imma say it once: solutions are collective. Helping is collective. Leaving everything on me is abuse. If someone genuinely cares about me as a person, stop giving me unsolicited advice. I already have more than 300 books on trauma, antipsyvhoatry, social psychllogy, cultural antrophology, alternative ways of healing, decolonial psychology, neurodiversity paradigm, permacultire, colonialism, things like non-duality, shadow work, inner child healing, job opportunities, etc. and I can apply non due to the control my family imposes on me that only exists because society allows it. Switch the focus from individual to collective or leave the the f- alone. I'm no one's ticket to feeling better about their own abusive experiences at my expense.
I was on SSRIs for 22 years from 17-39. I tapered off of Lexapro 20mgs for 6 months. I didn't know at the time that this was a slow taper. I've been addicted to heroin(2 yrs)methadone(9 yrs), benzos(3 yrs), nicotine(15 yrs, cannabis(17 yrs) and alcohol (10 yrs). None of them compare to the withdrawal and protracted withdrawal from SSRIs.
I was diagnosed with Bipolar and I have been on lithium for about 11 years. For nearly 10 years I haven’t had any significant episodes (I have had minor ups and downs, but nothing serious. Sub clinical episodes? Maybe?). Before that I had very severe symptoms and was involuntarily hospitalized four times. I don’t plan on stopping my medication anytime soon. However, an unrelated illness is giving me a lot of nausea and about an 30-60 minutes after taking my lithium I would throw up. I thought that was long enough to absorb, but I have a feeling that my levels are low. I can feel the depressive feelings sneaking in, that crushing, oppressive weight on my mind more and more. I got my levels checked already, I am just waiting for the results. It sucks, I can feel it looming and I know there’s nothing I can do. When I was younger I tried so many medications and in different combinations and nothing made much of a difference. I can’t see why anyone would want to go through that again by choice.
My brain generates random images like a broken tv after coming off psy drug after short term use of ssri, benzo, z drug and Pregabalin . What can I do now? It's been 18 months and AP doesn't work to remove the non stop images
I tried coming off anti psy medication 4 times. And 4 times I ended up in hospital. The funny thing is I still want to try and get off. But have no answers.....
Hello, thank you for the kind information sir. I have been diagnosed with Bipolar with psychotic symptoms and taking currently: Abilify maintena 400 syringe once a month and halidol 5mg a day for the antipsychotic meds. i am looking to get off the halidol completly because of the side effects. Do you recommend lowering the dose to 2.5 mg a day for a month or two and then lowering to 1.5 for a month or two and than completly off? Do you think the abilify maintena 400 can keep me safe from psychosis instead of combining it with halidol daily? Your'e opinion is kindly appreciated thanks!
I’m on Ablify 7.5mg I tried to taper off twice and psychotic type episodes insued, do you know of any holistic treatments that can help me taper off? I’ve been on meds for 11 years

Disclaimer: not a doctor, not professional advice. Only personal experience Hi, I’ve been on olanzapine before and now off for a few months. I would recommend tapering very slowly. For like months to reduce side effects. I had terrible insomnia for about a week when I stopped olanzapine but I did it too quickly. So if you do it slowly enough, you should be ok

Peter. Im 6years off benzos. They have effectivly ruined my life. It took me 4 years to get better. At year 5. I had a massive setback (what the ashton manual states a return of symptoms due to sensitivity of a drug. That is NOT a benzo). My case was antibiotics. Not a fluroquinolone. 6 years off and now dealing with akathesia . Panic. Terror. Swaying. Restlessness. 3am cortisol rushes. Its been 9 months since my setback. Its horrible to read on benzobuddies that some people take a decade to feel normal again.
