PeaceInside Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Hi Everyone! I am wondering if anyone who has or had PAWS and/or PSSD ever tried The Perrin Technique manual therapy? (It is most widely used and known about in the UK) I was sent this video by Perrin Technique practitioners as I reached out to see if this therapy would be appropriate for PAWS/PSSD. I am curious what people's thoughts are on this video and whether or not people think that Dr. Perrin's work relates to our condition. I am thinking about this under the idea that psychiatric medications are neuro-toxic, but what exactly is that mechanism of toxicity? From a research perspective I am curious as to the relationship between the following functioning of systems in withdrawal and post-withdrawal conditions: 1. the limbic system 2. the brain stem 3. the peripheral nervous system (especially the autonomic and enteric nervous systems) 4. the lymphatic system & glymphatic system I'd love feedback on this video and whether or not people feel what he talks about could also be happening in withdrawal and post-withdrawal conditions. It does get highly technical just FYI. Cheers! 2012-2013: Sertraline (100mg) April 2013-May 2013: tapered completely off Sertraline (50mg for two weeks, then 25mg for two weeks, then none) May 2013-November 2013: experienced severe withdrawal effects November 2013-2018: Sertraline (100mg then up to 200mg then back to 100mg over this time) January 2018: abrupt switch to Effexor; extreme withdrawal side effects from switch; used Lorazepam for 2 days to cope February 2018-April 2018: abrupt switch to Prozac (maybe 30mg or 20mg?? do not remember) April 2018-September 2019: tapered off Prozac completely using liquid form (do not remember by what increments); experienced windows and waves pattern of withdrawal September 2019-January 2020: felt really great, better than ever before February 2020-April 2021: experienced severe withdrawal in windows and waves pattern April 2021-NOW: windows and waves pattern ended; experiencing drastic change in digestive, endocrine, autonomic, and immune system functioning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
