Mimi11 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 https://www.ted.com/talks/sandrine_thuret_you_can_grow_new_brain_cells_here_s_how The speaker touches on depression and anti-depressants briefly too. Very interesting. Some good tips. Celexa 10 mg ( approx 5 years), reduced to 5mg (approx 10 years). Prescribed for anxiety and panic. Started tapering July 2015-2.5 mg for a month, then 2.5 every other day. Kept tapering until October when I took my last crumb. Almost 4 years drug free and WD symptoms are evolving constantly. Some improved, some new.
Lilu Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Yes, I just saw the same talk on YouTube. I liked her talk, but the part about Antidepressants causing Neurogenesis really made me wonder as to how valid those claims really are. They are highly dubious and problematic. See the topic below: http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/1284-neuropsychiatry-same-baloney-different-sandwich/?hl=neurogenesis Went through a hellish withdrawal after tapering very slowly for over a year, only to be hit with the worst insomnia and crying spells of my life. Had no choice but to go back on antidepressants, but nervous system was irreversibly changed.
