Darwin 19 year old success story


Recommended Posts

 

Darwin's Introduction Topic

 

hello everybody. I'm going to make this quick and easy but i have fully 100% recovered and have been for awhile.
what i did- cleansed my body. did alot of fasting i mean only including 1 small meal a day. including calishtenics

Alot of experimenting.

Microdosing psilocybin mushrooms also helped greatly.'

I'm currently helping out a fellow zoloft user. she took 4 g last week of psilocybin and she told me she has felt better than she ever has in the past 2 years! 

I was on a slew of pharmaceuticals couple years back you can find my old story from back when i was starting.

Getting your mind and body back takes alot of deep  personal work. I still am working with daily life and a few bad habits, but soon eventually i'll get to the place that I want.

Change everything about your lifestyle and in due time no matter how deep you were into the pharmaceuticals i wholeheartedly believe you can be whole again. 
thank you.

Summer 2013: started on Prozac for OCD

Fall 2013: started Lexapro due to Prozac zombie effects

 

Stopped Lexapro because of lack of empathy/emotion,anxiety,lack of concentration etc.

Fall 2014: switched to zoloft 

 

February 2015: started effexor quit C/D after 2 weeks.

April 2015: was on zoloft for a month again to try and wean a bit more slowly. DID not work.

May 2015: dumped all of my medications

July 2015: Struggling day to day with withdrawal symptoms but hopeful that I'll be better at the end of august for the next school year.

How are you doing now, Darwin? Good to hear this experiment worked for you.

 

We here at SurvivingAntidepressants.org do not advocate experimenting with magic mushrooms or any gray-market drug. You never know exactly what you're getting and results are unpredictable even in people whose nervous systems have not been compromised by adverse drug reactions. Try such substances at your own risk.

This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

- Severe crash after 4 month taper to 0

- Reinstated, stabilized, slowly tapering.
