Please tell me what someone should do when they have gone cold turkey for a month and now experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Gone cold turkey on escitalopram (first 10 mg - for 3.5 years, then 5mg for 3 months till 1 Aug 2024), as of now its been 25 days, experiencing anxiety, irritability, sleep disturbance and low mood, burning sensation only first 1 to 2 hours after waking up, no brain zaps or balance issues. What should I do? Should I brave through with supplements or should I reintroduce and do slow taper, afraid of paradoxical reactions but withdrawal symptoms are horrible. If I reintroduce at what dose? If supplements, which supplements?

WRONG!! Ask any benzo coach they will all say the same thing. There is no supplement to give a person with a disregulated nervous system.

Omg thank you for this

About a year and a half ago my son who had been diagnosed with adhd had a terrible depression episode over November and December . He was more explosive than ever, was very physical with me (mom), was like jekyl and Hyde, was miserable and said he wished he wasn’t alive. I was so intentional with our relationship during all this. It was so hard to see him so chaotic inside. We finally put him on Zoloft and it was an immediate godsend! Like seriously! After about 2 months it started wearing off and we upped the does. Now we have leveled out on 75mg and he also takes Guafacine for adhd. He seems at a good place but is unmotivated with school, doesn’t like to challenge himself, and seems uninterested in most things unless they are really exciting. Adhd meds aren’t great because they add to his lack of an appetite, and when they wear off he’s very irritable. I’m currently planning to taper again. I want him to FEEL and hear his intution. I just came off a low dose of short term Wellbutrin and I had side effects that felt like I was just not myself, and unable to connect to my source and spirituality. I’ve been off for a week and finally started feeling back to myself! It totally messed with my eyes, which intuition and spiritual connection seem related to. I hope this goes well for him. Still not what to do for his adhd! He drives his teachers nuts and has terrible impulse control.

this doesn't say anything about the tapering

Thank you.

I have been off Paxil for about 1 year and 3 months, took it for maybe 2.5 years 20mg. My back has been very tight and painful since I quit. I did cut down to 5 MG over the course of a m9nth or so. Have been going to a chiropractor and gett8ng massages, tylen9l and muscle relaxers. Two days ago I started to take 10 MG of prozac hoping it would help, start8ng to think maybe not a good idea. My back does feel a bit better in 2 days.

How efficient is l tryptophan for depression and anxiety ??

Definitely meds will make you stink and sweat. I took zyprexa stank so bad. The lymphatic system struggles to detox meds. You’ve got lymph nodes in different areas thus putrid sweat. Stupid Oklahoma psychiatrist put me on every fucking antipsychotic anti-depressant multiple benzodiazepines. They even wanted to do ECT, but I was already in extreme withdrawal and had severe acathisia and nothing had worked so they stopped everything.

Can i recover from PSSD due to Antidepressants

Hey, really liked the video🙌! I was Wondering if you'd ever be interested in expanding your reach? I could whip up some super catchy short clips from your content, perfect for grabbing attention. They'd be subtle additions but make a big difference. Let me know if that's cool, or if you just wanna chat video content!

Vit d helps gummys i like , and multi vit gummies as well to help with depression and anxiety hormones too

I am suffering from SSRI induced PSSD.How to recover

She's hot.

❤❤❤

Is it weird that I’m already looking at withdrawal videos when I start this new med.

Hello from NZ! I came across your channel on my own healing journey and am so glad I did. Great insight and tools. Thank you!

Hello Dr Lee, thank you

My prozac start doing me huge problems, so from 70mg i need to stop taking, because of convulsion..so i am just on lamictal..i dont take l-trypthophan because i get tick..:(

The chemical imbalance theory has been debunked. How can I become a holistic psychiatrist?

Do you have a protocol or supplements for benzo withdrawal and Akathisia?

Experience with benzodiazepine withdrawal on top of anti-depressant withdrawal? my doctor abruptly stopped both of them and it has been almost 3 years and I am still suffering with extreme morning anxiety Akathisia doom and terror have brain fog and fatigue really bad with Anhedonia. I have been having issues trying supplements my nervous system seems raw.

Thank you for sharing these stories.

If one has taken sertraline for less than 2 months, will slow withdrawal still be tough? Thanks

I was wondering if you have done a video on SNRI withdrawals? I'm 2.5 weeks off Venlafaxine and even though I tapered slowly enough and stopped at 12.5mg, I feel miserable for numerous reasons.. I tried bridging the gap with Zoloft and stopped after 6 days of 25mg.

How best to deal with PAWS

Does this apply to TCAs . I am trying to come off Clomiprimine, but am having increased anxiety. I am also 14 months off Diazapam.

Hello, I hope someone can please answer or comment if they went through similar things as im going thru. I have been tapering down paxil 30mg, I want to be off meds that i have been taking for over 10 years. 2 days ago was my last pill of paxil. The withdrawal symptoms were somehow bearable at first while tapering down. Now its been 2 days meds free, I have none stop severe brain zaps, dizziness, weird eye movement accompanied by sensors disturbance in my head, I cant go out from the house, i constantly need assistance. Im so tired, muscle pain everywhere, crying spells, extreme anxiety and confusion As if im disoriented and disassociate from my entourage. I am ready to push through but did anyone get it and got better after ? I am not sure how long will i be able to handle this, please someone tell me they went thru this and it will go away in some time and i will be better. Do you recommend starting 5htp now ?

It's strange how psychosis and hallucinations are listed as side-effects of antipsychotics! Drs are far too quick to put anyone on these as a quick fix to trauma!

Can you give an example of energy healing and how it is done?

Thank you mam God bless you

brilliant. i am trying to come off them and am in a similar situation. to know someone has been on them that long and successfully come off is enouraging

I'm sure one story like David's is equal to 10 others who could not get off?!

Try a nootropic. These are called brain food. Ive been on antidepressants for 18yrs. Going well so far

Do antipsychotic drugs csuse hallucinations?

My son cannot have b12 or anything that give him energy he become irritable . He use to be in depokope for 8 years he going through withdrawal and I have been giving him vitamin mineral but he still suffering . What can you recommend .

Can you use 5Htp and sero plus together?!

I asked him one time what to do about my anxiety and he said "go hug a tree"......not a good answer for someone who is suffering, however he is very good at getting people off of drugs.....one of the few who will tackle this.

I would love to learn more from both of you guys. I work as a Psychiatric Home Health RN, not interested in NP. I'm following the holistic path. I'm also a trauma survivor with my own set of mental diagnoses. I manage by lifestyle modifications and coping skills, but would love to learn what else is out there for myself and my patients

Please help me before I suicide

I said always its coming from the gut , nutrition 99% .

Wit h probiotics are good ath the same time thaling citaliopram DR. Please advice 😊😊😊😊😊

Is so true what you say thanks

When i stopt with my paroxetine.after 30 years!!i had terrible withdrawl symptoms But after 4 months i got diverculitis really bad en now after 4 years i still have very painful stomick and gut pains Is it true that youre bowls are very much conected to youre brains ?...

How on Earth is this related to Olanzapine Withdrawal? This clip destroys credibility.

Have a big question. I am having great difficulty with withdrawal symptoms of Paxil. Wish I had seen this video first. I have been suffering for a long time. 2 years. I am now at about 1.5 mg Paxil and I feel so awful… how can I feel better at this stage and finish what I started? Plz help me 🙏🏼 Should I not be detoxing at this point? A nutritionist has me doing a detox. To heal my stomach but I am feeling unwell a a lot of times.

Hi I sent you an email about my antipsychotic withdrawal wanted to know if it could be a good idea to reinstate the med at a very slow dose in order to ease the withdrawal symptoms… would really appreciate to discuss it with you.

I made a little list of supplements that the Doctor talks about in the video here : Amino acid (supplement to build serotonine like “SeroPlus” from “Pure Encapsulations” or other brand), vitamins, minerals, gastro intestinal support (probiotics), essential fatty acid, antioxidants (essential oils or smoothies), anti-inflammatories, detoxification (not at the begining, but later in the treatment).

I am wondering if CBD oil could help in these moments???

Dr lee,my brain generates random images like a broken tv non stop after psy meds withdrawal . Is this brain damage?? Im also in brain nerve pain, 24/7 bedridden. Can you help?
