Time that all doctors start to recognize withdrawal from psych. meds, this can't be going on anymore like this we are all fed up with this.

This man knows what he's talking about!!! Prescription drugs are so much more dangerous than they're made out to be.

Especially psych meds.

@latishevlatishev2854 3 года назад

Unfortunately, depression, anxiety, many forms of psychosis and other mental issues are secondary to complex negative and persistent environmental/social factors. It is the body's reaction to them! Even a strong genetic predisposition is often not enough ( true for most disease states) for a mental illness to develop WITHOUT particular environmental/social/circumstantial contributors going along with such predispositions. Think this way: you can have a huge puddle of gasoline spilled, but if no spark gets into it, no fire will occur... If you can change those negative persistent contributors of social/environmental/circumstantial nature, you will most likely overcome those diseases. Of course, if you are truly believing in God, you may be able to ACCEPT negative social factors that are hurting you and still live peacefully. But in reality it is not attainable for the majority of people. Most mental illness are mainly SOCIAL illnesses.

Very true. But for some, concept of God also can be factor to mental suffering like - Religious ocd.

I got permanent brain damage from 20 years of these neurotoxins i did not need. I was frauded and told i had a chemical imbalance which they were causing with the drugs now a decade off the drugs i suffer from chronic tension and head pressure 24/7 that never goes away and only gets worse.

I have head pressure also. While in a withdrawal from my anti phycotics (not dilberat) the what I call xonvultiona made my neck and my head full of so much pain. What also happened was turning my head it felt like a tare was iny head about 5 inches long. As ify scalp was pulling or tearing away from my skull! The withdrawal was so severe it affected my entire body. My neck has not much lift left in it and it hurt really bad. The base of my head where the ridge should be had disappeared. There was no longer a ridge on the back side bottom of my head! The xonvultiona were horrible and hurt me.

I did a cold Turkey off of a benzo and I almost died . I haven’t felt the same since . By the way don’t say just old symptoms returned . I got a wrong diagnosis and didn’t have any symptoms before the benzo .

@eldadleiba3130 4 месяца назад

So true, i am 27 years old and i am on antipsychotics for around 7 years switching between halidol, respiradal, abilify maintena. and some other "mood stabilizers" All they did is keep me "safe" from psychosis but at what cost? Living life? I have no ambition anymore, no joy, everyday i wake up wishing i was dead. Is that life? It does not worth living like this anymore.

@@mgray3130 Likewise here; hence, my point. Sorry 4 any condescendence on my end. 30+ different psych meds (starting w/Ritalin @ age 4 in 1971; I'm 55 now) ovr a 40+ yr period (been psych med-free since 1/1/2017). I still struggle @ times w/bouts of depression but @ least I'm much more in tune w/my emotions whereas the psych meds basically r "chemical pacifiers" which essentially numbs some1 2 the point that s/he can b subjected 2 additional abuse, bullying, & harassment committed against that individual by other people & the psych meds render the person on the receiving end of abuse, bullying,& harassment as a "punching bag"; just can't accept that type of fate.
