It sounds like the only choice I have is to continue suffering and hoping one day I ll miraculously come out of it….. can’t believe this for few week in this poison. Idiot doctors you destroy lives and families !!!! I am so mad of what they have done to us….. but I am so disabled I can’t do anything about it

I forget how to update my signature but I also tried seroquel, risperidone, prozac, zoloft, ativan and luvox. all were disasters except ativan helped a ton for about 3 weeks then went paradoxical. I got full body convulsions in interdose withdrawal and ended up in the psych ward.

I always tell people you have to do whatever you can to survive. yes there are some who reinstate and feel much better. I actually reinstated based on one particular story I had followed on here for a long time because she and I were very similar. unfortunately RI was a disaster for me. it did work for her though. I was completely non functional for the first few months and bedridden. I force myself to do things now even though I cannot work. my doc approved me for disability based on akathisia alone although I do have other chronic diseases. I am also pregnant now which scares me to death. I have very extreme mental symptoms I am a lot like you that way. the physical always improves for me but when akathisia really hits it's very torturous- nerves shocking and electrocuting my entire body, cant get comfortable, skin burning, everything in my body rattling. it is awful. I am so sensitive to everything now I cannot touch any chemicals. I dyed my hair in September and got extreme aka after that. I was not sensitive to anything before reinstatement which is why i thought it would work for me. now I am a strong advocate against psychiatry. I NEVER needed these drugs in the first place and now am disabled by them.

Most of people do not need these drugs that’s why these drugs hurt us so much. We were normal, our serotonin levels were normal and by taking an SSRi we messed them up. I must admit thought I cannot for the life of me understand why we are not recovering after so long??… i am a neuroscientist, I have read many “brain” books, I cannot justify this long term torture after being completely off for so long.

Congratulations on ur pregnancy , it ll be tough due to ur hormones on top of WD but I pray when ur baby is born will give you strength to keep going …. Keep in touch , let us know when ur baby comes ……

thanks so much! it makes zero sense what is going on. but there are people who take 4 pills and take 4 years to recover. there are even people who take 1 pill and take 4 years to recover. I've seen it all in my 4 years of this. and others like my mom and brother can quit cold Turkey with zero problems. I dont understand it at all. this suffering is not comparable to anything else that exists. I understand if you want to reinstate. I lost a dear friend to this and wish she would have tried everything before making the ultimate decision. if you are at the point of life and death please try everything you can to stay alive.

Yea I feel I am in that line ….

I am sorry about ur friend….
I understand some people are seriously hurt but after one pill but it does make it harder to accept so much suffering after such a short exposure…. I have honestly lost hope for my recovery after almost 15 months clean of these poisons….. I am at a loss …. Very unfair but I guess life is not fair anyways

how can one exposure to one pill destroy someone for 4 years? how does that make any sense? then the next person takes something for 20 years, quits cold Turkey and is fine. cruel. if you are at that line try everything. please. I wish she would have.

What hurts me a lot is that I asked so many times 4-5 different doctors if they are safe, they all said yes …. In fact one if them got frustrated and told me “ I am surprised how an established neuroscientist like you doubts approved medicines so much””” this idiot doctor is out there living her life and I am bedridden for 15 months now.

if I didnt have chronic diseases I would never see a doctor ever again. even with them I have fired most of my providers. I see the whole system as corrupt now that I have gone down so many rabbit holes since this happened to me. I mostly see doctors now as drones for big pharma and all they want is to escape liability ESPECIALLY psychiatrists. I was also told citalopram was completely safe, mild and easy to stop 'unlike benzos'. ya citalopram caused me so much harm and gave me akathisia at 2.5mg. I had very weird and scary mind stuff after taking one dose of zoloft.

Good point. I'm sorry to say this again but test for dysbiosis before doing any harm to you.

And besides that it heals with time.

I went crazy after a single dose of lexapro but got clever and stopped immediately, recovered within 24hrs. Then I got fool by my doctors that Zoloft is milder and since I had no side effects for the first 3-4 days I said ok I ll stick with it. So I went crazy on Zoloft after 2-3 weeks but was to late to stop it , I was already addicted and when I went off everything became much much much worst

Myyyy gooddd yes they are corrup.

Read Ivan illich medical nemesis,the exopropriation of health. Im currently reading it.

Basically medicine was bullsh*t all along, since it was ripped out of the hands of herbalist/women. It's a medical maschine here to create money and stabilize capitalist powerstructure by preventing people finding the real cause of their sickness which is of course society related.

Also chochrane researcher Peter gotzsche basically says 95% of medicine is bullsh*t. And John ioannidis says, I think also, 90% of medical studies are badly made or corrupted.

Psychiatry is obviously here to controle people who are failing out the system or get sick because of this lunatic society, I would go so far as to say that even psychotherapy in the current form is only a product of social control and spellbinding.

Psychotherapy should encourage people to to change something but instead it holds them back and declares them sick.

Something to think about...

I belive medicine as practiced today is mostly bullsh*t. But I don't want to discuss about that now if this is to much for you.

A well informed on WD and adverse reactions psychiatrist told me today that eventually everyone recovers from the damage of these drugs…. I do much want this to be true …. I guess only time will tell

January 15, 2022

@Daisygirlsk Do you know someone personally who took one dose and took 4 years to recover? I unfortunately am one of those people who had/has the one dose reaction.

C.G. is one of them but I checked the success story tonight again and all the links are broken. they never used to be. he took 1 prozac pill and had a severe reaction and took 4 years to recover. traumatized80 had many adverse reactions but she was also kindled. she is completely recovered I have talked to her on the phone. I cannot remember the username of the person who took 4 pills and then recovered in 4.5 years. wdtony on here had a severe adverse reaction and recovered. I've watched his videos on YouTube. that's just off the top of my head I'm sure there are more.

I’ve read through your thread and I’m so sorry to hear that you are suffering so much.

You were only on Zoloft for 3.5 weeks but obviously had a severe reaction. I remember when I was first put on lexapro 14 years ago I had very similar side effects. I felt as though I was walking around in my own bubble, it was like a bad dream. It was made worse by the benzodiazepine I was also taking which pooped out after four weeks and only added to my misery. I had increased anxiety and severe depression which was weird because I had never suffered depression before. It was six months before I felt normal again and after that I had a relatively easy journey. I’m not sure why I suffered so much but I think a lot of it had to do with having never taken any medication in my life apart from the odd Panadol. Or maybe lexapro was not a good choice for me. I don’t know and I often reflect on that period. My psychiatrist insisted on upping my dose at every visit too, I went from 5mg to 30mg in six weeks 😩 Never gave me time to respond to a lower dose!

Did you struggle with anxiety before the chest pain experience? Obviously if the chest pain went away it wasn’t a heart issue but a panic attack. I’ve had a few and it definitely feels like a heart attack. Anxiety is a sneaky beast and comes in many formats. Mine often starts with increased irritability. I find myself short tempered with my husband and children, upset with small things that normally don’t upset me. It then goes in to health anxiety with constant googling for reassurance. DP then becomes an issue. Tension, aching joints are another symptom for me. I grind my teeth at night, constantly tap my fingers without even realising. I lived like that for many years but always managed it. I only got put on medication for the first time at 42 years old. That was after a traumatic birth experience when my symptoms got much worse.

If you do reinstate and experience worse symptoms it might put you back a step. Then again it might help. It’s a decision only you can make. Do you do anything to help manage your symptoms naturally? I know a few people have had success with acupuncture. Floatation tanks is another thing which some people have benefited from. I personally find Audible a great tool and there are many self help books. As a neuroscientist you may have heard of Doctor Caroline Leaf? My son in law has benefited greatly from her teaching course on managing anxiety. She has a number of books on Audible. One thing I do know is you have to keep trying to help yourself. Don’t let this situation beat you. Faith is the substance of things HOPED for and without hope we have nothing. I pray with all my heart that you will find a pathway out of this and come out the other side a stronger person ❤️❤️

I didn’t have anxiety or panic attacks, I don’t know where the chest tightness came from …. All I know is that I was 100% functional and full of life and good feelings….. now I am a vegetable, can’t get out of bed, have no good feelings except fear and despair….. I am buried alive into a dark deep Dpdr state and being tortured by Akathisia…… thank you for reading my thread . I am glad reinstating worked for you …. I wish I knew if another SSRi can help me overcome what Zoloft did but I don’t know, I am afraid my brain is too damaged and another SSRi will just add extra issues. But then what choice am I left with? Keep taking the suffering till when? Only God knows

Just wanted to let you know that one member on Reddit who had pssd and akathisia has successfully treated both. Just saying...

yes it seems like it got deleted. he used to have a bunch of posts. I'm struggling every day but somehow keep going. I had to take antibiotics a couple weeks ago which definitely aggravated things. I'm really tired of all this. I was not sensitive to anything until i reinstated.

I wonder why a happy ending story was deleted…. We do much need them …. I am sorry you are still struggling…. I ll include you in my prayers…. That’s all I can do these 15 months while laying in bed every day…. Talk to people via SA and pray for them and myself
