    Brilliant stuff Ralphy. I learn a lot from your bike videos but this really is top notch. I'm one of the quiet ones that don't admit to mental health. The way I was brought up, you just get on with it. These videos are eye openers for a lot of folk. Thanks

    Well done brother for having the will power and good sence to beat your addictions, you're right about writing down your own reasons why you need to kick the poisonous prescribed meds they have pushed at you for years. You must have one hell of a strength of character and imagination to be where you are now and be so good at your bike building. It's also incredible how you keep that brilliant sense of humour whilst suffering as you have been is commendable. Power to you mate.

    I was on 7.5 for insomnia and I slept really well. However I gained 40 lbs FAST and started having a lot of health problems from the weight gain. So I dropped to 3.5 for 2 mths. Now I’m taking 1.75 (cutting them into 1/3) and the withdrawal side effects have been bad! I’m very depressed and suicidal, itchy and my face feels numb.

    You're an amazingly brave guy Ralfy. I came off Lyrica a couple years back and it takes a few months. I'm on other meds too that I need to think about seriously. We've had alcohol problems in our family so I know how hard that is to come off. Not me personally but relatives. It didn't end well, it's an awful way to go so if you've come off that you one strong guy. I wish you the very best Ralfy 👍

    I think you’ve found your niche in life, this style of discussion suits you, when people speak of things they’ve experienced it’s easy for them. You’re a good man Ralphy. You also brush up well 😎. After years of “misbehaving” I’m kind of sorted but as a result I no longer sleep more than 2 hrs a night. (Small price to pay). I’m now in my 60’s and it’s taken a lifetime to get where I am now but it’s better than nothing. Thanks Ralphy. 👍

    I was on 45mg remeron for almost 5 years and weined down like you did. It took me about 6 months before I felt normal and I'm so glad I got off if it. The only thing I used to help after was cannabis/cbd oil and I don't use that anymore either.

    Hi, thank you so much for sharing your experience.
    You helped me a lot with this video.
    I did quit mirtazepine now for a month. And I totally recognise your story. I feel much better however I just can’t seem to sleep.
    I know every person reacts differently but I was wondering how you are doing now?
    And if you are able to sleep reasonable hours and such.
