Akathisia & antipsychotic drug withdrawal survival story 

None of us could have known such a thing exists, and none of us can find the words to tell others who haven’t experienced it. But I’m really so glad for you if yours has passed and I hope your life never includes such hell again xxx

What helped you how did you get through it what are the do and don’t please I’m going to kill myself in at the end of the month if I’m not any better or maybe sooner did it just go away I Been taking a lot of Benadryl and it barely barely helps

Please help

I don’t want to die but this pain is unreal and I’ll do anything to make it stop

@@corbinsmith9605 I understand. It’s impossible to cope with the level of suffering. But somehow you have endured this far and I promise it does get better. Please do reach out to me on my email mishalucia@gmail.com and we can at least talk x

Hi I don’t know your name but I want to tell you…I had a friend who had akathisia. One time when I visited him he showed me one of your videos. And said ‘look, this is a strong woman’. He didn’t make it. But he would have wanted me to say hello to you 💔 I can only imagine how many endless seconds you’ve survived these two years. Respect from me to you. I know you will taste this beautiful freedom on the other side 💪🏻

@@mishanova4904 This breaks my heart 💔 I know your friend is free from the suffering now but It just isn't fair. It will never be fair. Thank you for saying hello for him 💔

I am 18 months, 4 months drug free. We will make it.

​@@DiogoSantos-ix5sl I hope you feel already better. It's an indescribable suffering .

It breaks my heart to know what you and others are going through

Thank you I feel brave and strong and I see the bravery and strength in every single person who is destroyed by this monster

Thanks so much for your good wishes and for sharing your story. And hey - so glad that you survived too and are out the other side. Truly, it is great to hear that you somehow navigated that nightmare and got your life back. I will definitely be very careful taking any kind of meds from now on. Like you say, even antibiotics. Its a sad fact that most doctors don’t know the first thing about this life threatening condition that is caused by the medication they hand out, and hate to be told that they don’t know. Really good that you found one that would listen.

Hi, sorry, can I ask you why Paxil taken 10 years ago could have had an effect on the akathisia 10 years later?

Thanks Florence ❤️ you’re not wrong sometimes prescribed meds can be so much worse than anything on earth

I’m truly sorry to hear that you’re going through this. Cursed is right, feels otherworldly, straight from the depths of hell. I know there’s no words I can say to reassure you that this will one day be just a memory, and that you won’t be stuck in it forever, but it’s true. It passes. One endless moment at a time. If you’re anything like me your broken brain is spewing out a lot of terrible thoughts that aren’t true. They seem so convincing but they’re not the truth. You CAN do this.

How are you now?

@@ashleychristie5023 pretty much healed thanks to benztropine and time. time heals all!

@@Zhogaun how long did you have it for? I'm going into month 7 with no windows, totally off all meds for 6.5 months. I'm so exhausted. :(

@@ashleychristie5023 for almost 1.5 years. fully off meds now and im good. hang in there. you can ask for clonozepam and stuff to help out with it. goodluck.

How are you now?

Thank you so much yes I am doing good and I hope you are too. I hadn’t thought of making further video but maybe I will and let people know that I continue to do well. Lots of love to you xxx

You are very beautiful and thank you again for doing this video it helps calm me down my finger was Latuda in 2019 then the doctors kept giving me more and more antipsychotic saying it was just more psychosis and more anxiety hospitalising me in forcing me to take drugs then Nicole turkey them all including the benzodiazepine that I had been on for 12 years I am surprised I am still alive can you give me Hope I hope you do another video Sunday just to show that your life is good and to see what you’re doing now maybe art or something I haven’t checked your channel maybe I should check it real quick to see if posted new content I hope you have a great happy Halloween and thanks

Thank you I will ❤️ you too

Thank you yes I am doing very ok these days.

@@mishanova4904 that's amazing inspiration really is well done getting off them . Keep on keeping on.

@@danielcarney3487 I appreciate your kind words and solidarity only those who’ve been on them or have known someone close who’s been on them could know what a nightmare it is coming off. I hope you are doing ok on your own path 🙏🏻

@@mishanova4904 no problem you seem a very nice person glad you are at the other side . Starting my taper in june . Wish you all the best . Hope you have a really good life you deserve it.

@@danielcarney3487 yeah well good luck with your taper. Lots of respect to you for making that decision to do it and I really hope it goes smoothly for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻💪🏻

As someone who has experienced this as a young man, I send all my condolences to you and your family. It was not his fault, and I hope that if there is a God he has found some respite. I'm so sorry for your loss.

@@abe1996 🩵 he she thought for nearly 1000 days he had gotten better for about 3 to 4 months maybe even a bit more and things are starting to turn around but then she went to a treatment center to heal his. You know underlying emotional trauma that got him on the Benzo‘s in the first place and he was like I’m ready to start healing that like he was so motivated and then all the sudden he just comes home from the eating disorder program and he’s like I feel awful come to find out that they gave him melatonin there, which really fucked up his system and forced him to eat gluten even though it made him feel like crap so he had to massive setbacks and aggravation‘s that really just jacked up his system again, and he had wrote in his letter that he was so frustrated because he had tried so hard and had fought so hard to keep going, and he was finally ready to move on from it and start the next chapter of his life in a new home in a new environment away from Benzo’s away from trauma, and then to have this happen he just couldn’t Barrett. He couldn’t bear the idea not that it would’ve taken as long as Benzo‘s, but he still couldn’t bear the idea of having a setback and having to heal from that he just couldn’t do it anymore and it’s sad as I am I don’t blame him I really don’t.

I’m so sorry. I remember some of his comments on other channels over the years. I see you use his channel?? I’m so sorry, it’s excruciating to endure

@@Waves353 yea he was a fighter he tried so hard! Ty 🩵

I am really sorry to hear that. My condolences. Something must be done, it can't continue like this

Yup very horrific. What you can do to help is have a conversation with her more. That will relax her and reduce the symptoms. Also get her to engage in things she loves to do most. Could be gardening, drawing or playing board games. Lastly walking around helps too. With her being off the meds, it'll only take few months for it to go away. Antipsychotics kill. Best way to healing is through psychotherapy. Activities and conversations with love ones. Hope is she said is the cure.

Please keep helping her. Don't leave her alone. There is, unfortunately, not much one can do. I went through this, and I managed to make it to the other side.

Yeah it’s hard enough to talk about this stuff even in the same language. But maybe give it a go 🤷🏻‍♀️I have a I little French and google translate. Reach out and say hi if you want. Mishalucia@gmail.com is my email and we can go from there to WhatsApp or whatever x

How are you?

Honestly my heart just goes out to you cos 17 months is so long to be in that hell 💔. You must be such a strong person - and you KNOW I’m not just saying that - incredibly strong, and you have my utmost respect

💔💔💔💔😔

She’s still good
