Moderator Emeritus Erell Posted November 27, 2022 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted November 27, 2022 On November 30, 2022, the streaming platform Netflix will release a new documentary entitled "Take Your Pills: Xanax" As the title suggests, the subject is not antidepressants, but benzodiazepines, and more specifically xanax. Nevertheless, it may be of interest: the trailer seems to indicate that the documentary will deal with issues of dependency and withdrawal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StVTTgnxgEw I don't think I'll be able to watch it, but I'll be interested in your feedback if you get a chance to see it. It's always good to know that these issues are being brought to light. (I did a search and I don't think this information has been shared yet.

GiantsWSC Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I'm actually watching it now as I type this. Very interesting watch as it discusses many issues that we have all dealt with regarding all these anxiety/anti-depressants. It shows how one gentleman does a liquid taper which we all know is now the proper way to get off these drugs. In addition it mentions getting exercise, sunlight, talking with people to help cope with the side effects. I hope more people watch this, especially those that might not be on this forum, so it can potentially guide them and inform them of the dangers these drugs pose and help them heal. 1 Taken paxil for over 15 years probably closer to 20. Tapering since Oct 2013 from 10mg Gemini 20 scale thanks to BrassMonkey!
