From a challenging personal experience I choose to bring awareness and shine a light on a hidden corner of our world, where so many people are suffering from pharmaceutical medications & often wrongly prescribed. Very much like the Dope sick or Painkillers series. Through my experience I saw zero awareness of this in the world / medical world, and people get the wrong help. I just had to say something ..as well as not forgetting who I am in the process : )

I’ve been on klonopin forever. Never had a problem with it. I’ve never had anything other than a headache when going without.1 mg of Ativan is a small but average dose. We have 80 year olds on it. No problems
You are so tough Emma! I am half way through with my Klonopin taper after almost 2 years of tapering then I make the mirtazapine next. It’s a struggle but going this slow has made me more functional.
Can I ask you a question how is your tinnitus? How did you cope with it to help you...please and thank you..Maybe just a little insight to make me a happier person..
Hey, so I have habituated to it, after such an awful time with the medication withdrawals, it seemed to take a back seat, and my brain doesn’t think about it like it used to. ♥️
Hi Emma. Thank you for your moving testimony. I am currently dry tapering off Xanax. Ive tried to switch over to Valium but had an awful experience so have to stay on X. Since the NHS refuse to prescribe X i am having purchase it illicitly. I really need to find an understanding psychiatrist who is willing to prescribe me X before I run out of my supply and am forced to CT. In this video you mention a Psychiatrist called Leon who was able to help you. Would you be willing to share his contact details? It would be most appreciated. Thanks!
Hey, I can share details of someone I know who is a good psychiatrist in UK, my email is thepsychmedsanctuary@gmail.com I completely understand your problem, I have often been fearful of this too! I’m in my last bits of the Lorazepam and need one more prescription then I’m done 🙏🏼 all being well, but it’s been a long road getting here! X
@@ema_videochannel Thanks very much Ema. Well done for coming so far! I know what an arduous journey it is. Thanks for your offer to suggest a good Psychiatrist, I will email you. All the best 🙏
Thank you. I need this so much. I feel I wont make it. This has created a huge gap between me and my family. Its a very horrific and lonely place to be in.
I completely understand, as no one gets it unless they have been through it, and due to Drs not recognising or validating our experience it then makes family and friends even more less likely to see what’s actually happening! Sending ♥️ when your healed you will get to a place of not needing their validation, as you’ll just be happy your better. And you can put boundaries in where they are needed. As when your in it, it’s harder to do that as your more vulnerable. X
Watching from afar and rooting for you, Ema. I also was polydrugged during acute antidepressant withdrawal (ended up on a benzo and buspar in the hospital). I successfully tapered the benzo over 14-15 months with Nicole Lamberson’s help :) I’m holding the buspar. We’ll be okay, but I had all of the worries you talked about early on! One day at a day ❤
Ema I love your videos I’m so sick from the spike protein from COVID and the Clon and mirt that were prescribed for insomnia from the stress Finally got spike and inflammation levels in 2024 and I caught COVID in 2021 You have hope and you will make it Pray for me I need a miracle
My husband was supportive at first. now he get really angry at times and yells at me. Once he yelled so much he said don't touch me, get away from me. Its heartbreaking because my brain not functioning normal.
Hi there, youtube randomly recommended this video and I just wanted to drop a note and say I can say I went through exactly the same thing back in 2018. I was struggling to sleep after returning back to Australia from Italy - I was prescribed Temazepam with no warning and suffered the same reaction you did after a few days. Never had any panic attacks before but after a few days on this stuff I could barely function. I was in constant terror. I took those tablets for 3 weeks but then cold turkied off… I then didn’t sleep much for the next 6 months… I ended up being told I have all sorts of mental conditions and went to hell and back. It took me a solid 3 years to recover completely and I’ll never, never trust doctors again.
Hi Emma, I read your article in the mail about benzos, you have really been through a lot. I was on lorazepam for 2 weeks and I can see how it could be addictive. I’m glad I didn’t stay on it longer especially after knowing what I know now about it
That's fkng brilliant. Didn't think I could laugh at something that's happened to me over 31 years of drug taking. It's so spot on and tragic but you were able to make it funny. That's incredible. I'm in Protracted withdrawal for 17 months from the poisons and you just cheered me up.
Thank you! I had a lot of material to work from 😅 sorry to hear your experiencing this sort of thing too! Iv got more sketch ideas coming .. sometimes laughter is so Powerful a way to connect us even in the dark x
Hi i hope you don't find it annoying or weird if i ask that you please make another video of the " just rising- healing frequencies " or just make it much longer because it is so oddly satisfying, at first i thought i wasn't going to work but then i started feeling so relaxed and now it's like i can't get enough of it, i hope that is not too much ask thank you ;)
Emma how can I contact you? A moronic doctor over perscribed me diazepam 8 months ago and since then I'm struggling to get off. I live in the UK is a joke. I need your help seriously
My doctor helped me for quite a while. I trusted him because he is a really caring, well meaning human being. At first he said that if I look on line, I wouldn’t take an aspirin, so I didn’t. 15 years or so of suffering until I finally went on line & found knowledge & support groups. I’ve been tapering V for about 2 1/2 yrs now. Have a Benzo wise therapist who works with my doctor who’s helping me with prescriptions. I’ve lost a big chunk of my life & am still struggling. I’m 68 now & pray I get better soon. Luckily, when I get akathisia, I go to my local pool & swim till exhausted. It’s solitary. Being with people, even old friends have been hard. They don’t get it. They can’t. One close, usually empathetic friend who I confided in said, “ you know L, there are people out there that have it a lot worse than you “. How do you respond to that. I just said, your probably right & dropped it. I hate feeling sorry for myself, even though old friends don’t seem to remember the old me; i barely remember myself. After getting off V, I have other meds to tackle😩I’m not dead yet. Thanks for the song & so glad you’re doing so well now.💗
Brilliant, keep up the good work in trying to highlight this. This happened to me from SSRI withdrawal, a medication I was on for 4 months, I am now in protracted withdrawal. A speedy recovery to all who are experiencing this, lets get the word out there so it cannot be denied by medical professionals any longer x
Thank you! :) 🤩.. right.. it’s like the world 🌍 is full of people trying to brainwash you to be in an unhappy existence .. it’s very strange! Gotta break the mould! 🙌🏼♥️✨
Antipsychotics are well-known to cause akathisia and extrapyrimidal effects. Why they are using it to 'treat' someone in the throws of akathisia us beyond me. (It is derogatory to refer to mental patients as 'crazy' - most patients in mental hospitals are acting in a different way because of years of medical and psychopharmacological abuse, similar to the abuse we suffered at the hands of GPs).
I don't think the age of the doctor is relevant. Writing scripts for benzos and all psych drugs is really common by doctors of all ages and all over the world. Neither 'old' nor 'young' doctors receive much training on psych drug side effects, nor withdrawals or how to deprescribe. It is an industry and broader societal problem, not an age problem.
Yeah I don’t think it is an age problem either.. but at the time it was shocking to me he gave it to me and all NHS Drs here in the UK.. younger in the system told me I should never of been given it.. he was an older private Dr clearly old fashioned and had been doing this since the 60s and thought it perfectly safe, however through my experience I have shockingly found it obviously happens more than you think especially over in the US, and like you say no matter what age of the Dr none of them are taught a thing about these drugs and have no idea about side effects or withdrawal and that’s is accross the world ! Worldwide severe issue!
Love this. Thank you for the work you’re doing to get this message out, Emma. We need more people like you. So glad you’re doing so much better. Also, we have the same guitar. Mine’s an APX-5, but they look identical.
I was against taking antidepressants all my life having an intuition that anything changes my brain is inherently unpredictable and could affect other body systems as well. But I have in because of the social pressure. My sister took them and they did help her a lot and made her normal, but she respected my decision not to. My cousin was very pushy and kept saying I should take them over and over, so eventually I gave in and they made me spiral so I lost my job and ruined my reputation and career. I alienated and attacked my support network.
@@claireh.7605 I actually had them in my room I never threw them away. It was paxil ssir. I had gone to hospital and was prescribed paxil, but I told Dr. That I wasn't sure if I would take them, because I felt maybe I just needed more sleep. Anyways I got sleep and called Dr. Told him I would not be taking medication what I truly needed was therapy. Drs said " that's fine don't them" I never threw them away. That when husband kept insisting and insisting I kept saying no no no because I had a bad feeling anyways like I said I gave in to my husband, 😭 I truly never needed to be medicated. I started to feel sick and they gave me Benzo . My life is ruined.😞🫂😭
So ironic. This is an epidemic. And your original tinnitus was also an epidemic called the elitist Covid man made virus … tinnitus was an after affect symptom. Stay clean, no drugs. Stay healthy!
the roots of the power of the pharmaceutical mega corporate companies run so deep in each countries system / politics / education syste / food system and more.... quite terrifying , as they budget for mishaps and lawsuits when deaths happen or push back happens..... no owners of the companys ever prosecuted just minor fines for them billionaires.
yes the medicines side effects / withdrawal effects of big pharma medicines MIMIC THE SAME issues it is meant to treat in the condition! look up topical steroid addiction. It happens with eczema steroid creams also, the creams are for eczema and make the skin worsen and then more creams and stronger ones are prescribed and condition worsens as the dam creams worsen it !! and doctors just say the eczema is worsening!!! its been going on for decades and many been wrongly prescribed for all these wrong medicines!!!!! theres a reason why the NHS is being privatised because once the lawsuits stack up for all this the gov will have to sue the big pharmas for mislead them and so on and crimes against humanity... gov seems to be in bed with big pharma sadly
Thank you for this, for the message and yourself and others sharing their experience. I was given Triazolam after leaving my job in the emergency services to aid normalisation of sleep after 25 years of shiftwork. I developed rebound tachycardia every morning but didn't associate it with the med. Advised my GP but he for some reason discounted it. This went on for a prolonged duration then I happened upon a blurb highlighting that particular rare-ish side effect whereupon I stopped taking it but the tachycardia still persists, albeit less severe to this day. And Triazolam has now been banned here in NZ for it's serious adverse side effects.
Needles, my skin is crawling I got cut down n half, instead of 3, 1.5, I saw paych., tried ability saraquil risperdol welbutrin, trizodone, but delta 8 capes help me eat sleep draw I'm dying all the time I can't hide desperation, ppl. Know I'm frantic it's embarrassing, n if I ask 4 2 much help I get let down.
Its a real shame your dad left you in a spanish psych ward and turned off his phone . It must have been terrifying. Rotten drugs , ive had a lot of experience with different meds and bz are in my opinion amongst the worst
@emma_saunders I dont think folk who havent had a bad bz experience or watched a loved one suffer have any idea of the terror and the really quite uniquely dreadful feelings and their unfathomable resistance to reasonsble attempts at mitigation . I was deep in drug addiction for years and then on methadone for too long. I was thoroughly sick of myself and the thought of quitting via a measured reduction under supervision dragging out over probably two years. I was on a big methadone script , really made me feel helpless. So I just stopped cold turkey . My thinking was to get it over with asap. That experience isnt one I would recommend to anyone, i was very ill but I knew I wasnt too unhealthy deep down and my body could take it ...and my mind recovered eventually. However that was a walk in the park in comparison to a slow taper off diazepam . I never ever want to see one of those pills again I thought i had lost my mind, my personality . I really thought for a long time I had permanent damage from the benzos. Symptoms out of nowhere for no reason . I felt like i had a mental illness of some sort . .... I think they are really so dangerous we should never be prescribed
Hi Emma, I just heard about your story last night. I know what you have been through because I have also struggled with benzos and benzos withdrawl. I have been slowly tapering off for 7 months. It has been a nightmare during the tapering and before that. It took me a time to realize that benzos were the cause of many symptoms I had... from hell to little by little starting to breathe normally.
