- Just a story so far of my withdrawal journey over the past 3.5 years. I celebrate reaching the half way point of my taper, and also tell some hard home truths about the corruption of pharmaceutical companies and healthcare industries which they heavily influence.
I hope I can encourage others in the midst of protracted withdrawal off these drugs to keep battling on and not give up in the battle.💪😊
Thank you for sharing. I’ve suffered so much from Xanax and antidepressant withdrawal over the years as well. I’m almost done. Absolutely unbelievable what people have to suffer through.
You’re welcome ☺️ 🙏
It’s absolutely criminal what we have to go through, and how psychiatrists and doctors get away with this. Stay strong 💪 and hang in there. We’ll heal in time.
Going through the same hell pal. 4.5 years. All we have is the connections to others. Be well and heal, good friend
You’re right my friend. Stay strong 💪 and we’ll heal 🙏
what a fkn human you are, an absolute inspiration and light for anyone struggling with life.
Thanks 🙏 so much 😎
Sorry mate, I was responding to a different thread jaja. Thank you for your honesty and care. Hope and love to ya.
Love watching your videos man. Brings a try light on the subject. You are so strong!
Thanks 🙏 bro, just trying to inspire others and give hope ❤️
Bro we should unite together against in corrupt medical system😢😢
3.5 years off and still have WD this is pure hell i am sorry for u
But this freakens me out i am year off now and almost lost hope
OH GOD help us
All we can do is hang in there the best we can. Time and patience is the key to healing ❤️🩹 unfortunately with this injury.
@@livingunderachemicalinflue5849 Wish u Great health 🖤 but overall to what extent u have improve since stopping till now ?
@@ahmedmizo6031 I’m still tapering unfortunately, and it’s an extremely painful process the lower I go.
I know that neuroplasticity exists and with time we heal, just have to be very strong and hang in there to see improvements.
Greetings my friend.
I too am suffering immeasurably from what these drugs have done to me. I am no longer able to function or live in any capacity. Every minute is torment. Although my issues are very different, the torment and suffering we endure is not acceptable.
I would like to ask that you try to keep spreading the word, and possibly even change the title of these videos so they might be more easily found.
Im sorry to hear man, it’s beyond words what these drugs are doing to our bodies, and how the prescribers are getting away with murder. I promise to continue raising awareness around this subject for a very long time to come, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll change some of the titles of these videos and I wish you the best on your healing, tapering journey. Eventually we’ll heal in time and have the ability to live our lives again. Hang in there 😊🙏
@@livingunderachemicalinflue5849 Thank you for your message. I wanted you to change the names of the video in hopes that it might reach more people. I will take a look into how to beat the algorithm, and try to come up with something. I saw you already did for a few, so thank you very much. I’ve directed some people to watch your journey, and I hope that it helps them.
I definitely agree with you. It’s sad and it’s sick. This as a result of care should never happen, especially when someone is seeking to better their mental state. I know in time you will be well again.
Your life will feel like a miracle.
As it is easier said than done, please hang in there my friend.
@@themanisright12345 you’re more than welcome 🙏 😊
Heal well my friend.
Very good to hear you are very well informed. Every thing you have said is TRUE. 😡 Best wishes for your healing. 🙏 p.s There is a training video currently being made for doctors regards these drugs, withdrawal & tapering correctly.
Unfortunately too late for a lot of people Michelle 😔
I think the best people to help with tapering are the ones who’ve survived the withdrawal process and can pass this invaluable knowledge on to others. Just my opinion. I hope you’re progressing well on your healing ❤️🩹 journey.
@@livingunderachemicalinflue5849
Yes, too late for many and very sad that often they were not believed.
I agree with you, lived experience goes a long way when helping others.
Unfortunately, I am a prime example of why not to go cold turkey. If my video's/story stops one person doing what I did I am happy.
I am healing, my windows are bigger and the waves shorter. It's been one hell of a life changing journey.
At this moment I feel confident I will make it and be well again. 🙏 Take care of yourself.
@@shazamichelle2043 thank you 🙏 😊
Yep
I feel you mate im from Australia to and i take xnax 1 mylan a day its like xnax but i trying to taper i just lost my job worst thing i buy them from the street so i dont know whats in it i feel your pain
Hang in there mate 💪💪😊
How are you doing today? This was 5 months ago. Thanks for sharing this. I'm going through tolerance withdrawal from xanax. It's been terribly rough and debilitating . Symptoms are awful. Best of luck to you.
Suffering a lot still, but fighting like a warrior. Keep being strong and may we continue to heal with time and resilience ❤️🩹
You have nice hair
Thanks 😊
Yes. He is extremely handsome
5% sounds like a big reduction...have you tried a daily micro-taper?
I did at the end of my taper as I got lower and lower off the drug. I dabbled with 1 % and 2 % reductions from the current dose.
Completely free from the drug now for 18 months straight. No going back.
@@livingunderachemicalinflue5849 Congratulations...no easy feat.
You ever look into Carnivore/KetoVore diet? It’s helped my mental state a lot while trying to get off Duloxetine. Just want to pass that along
Thanks, but I’ve suffered a traumatic brain injury during this tapering process, so trying to avoid inflammatory foods.
Hi
Are you better now?
Do you still have akathisia?
How long were you on this drug, was it high dose?
Hi there, unfortunately still not well, surviving daily. I have akathisia still unfortunately, it’s more frequent in intensity during the evening. I’ve been on SSRI/SNRI drugs a total of 17 years till now, including tapering. I was on a high dose of Citalopram for 9 years, 40 mg and started off on 75 mg of Effexor, now down too 2.5 mg over 8 years.
@@livingunderachemicalinflue5849
I wonder why did you decide to come off the meds, I wonder?
So, for 8 years you have been experiencing akathisia?
Mine is more internal, how do you experience yours?
Can you sleep?
Is akathisia your worst symptom?
@@livingunderachemicalinflue5849
Have you experienced any healing?
@@livingunderachemicalinflue5849
I know I am asking you many questions but please can you just describe to me how do you feel akathisia? What are your symptoms of akathisia?
I promise I wouldn’t bother you any more
I am feeling it in a sense that I have to constantly pace, elephant on my chest. I just wonder if this what I feel is in fact drug related or if I am just dealing with depression and anxiety.
Please help
@@azeminasuljic1558 yeah man, but it’s an extremely slow and painful process. Unfortunately the CNS system takes a lot longer to heal than a broken bone 😞
You’ll heal, but it’s going to take time and perseverance.
