I have had an adverse reaction to trazadone and Buspar while I was withdrawing from diazpam and it ended up with adverse reaction and neurotoxicity I've had a test that shows the neurons death/ loss. If there's anyone here with severe brain damage that's left disabled you can try to contact me.

Podczas odstawiania diazpamu wystąpiła u mnie niepożądana reakcja na trazadon i Buspar, co zakończyło się niepożądaną reakcją i neurotoksycznością. Miałem badanie, które wykazało śmierć/utratę neuronów. Jeśli jest tu ktoś z poważnym uszkodzeniem mózgu, który pozostał niepełnosprawny, może spróbować się ze mną skontaktować.

Do you believe in neuroplasticity and that there may be improvement someday? You did a brain study so something was probably said about it.
Do you use any supplements?
Sorry to ask but I have been on PAWS for 9 months from escitalopram. I'm even losing my job
 

 

2022 escitalopram from July 25 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg August-December- 7.5 mg, 5 mg, (1 month) 2.5 mg - C/T 
WD
2023 Short reinstatement from WD date: 

escitalopram May 25-June 12 5 mg, 2.5 mg plus interrupted

Reinstatement 24 07.23 0.5mg escitalopram, 18.08.23 0.22 escitalopram, 07.09. 0.28
Now 0.30 mg escitalopram 

Last year 6 months on escitalopram, I was very agitated, hypomaniacal and with little need for sleep. 
Since July 2023 reinstated and reduced from 0.50 mg to 0.30 mg Lexapro - difficulty sleeping and lack of sleep, eye pain and IBS. Anhedonia. 

November 2023 - 0mg

Depends what's your situation, if u had neuro toxicity and neurons death like me then neuro plasticity is not going to help because it means adapting to changes but not re growth of cells, cells in the cns dosnt divide and grow back. Most people with mild withdrawal symptoms heal. Mine won't.

Zależy od twojej sytuacji. Jeśli tak jak ja cierpiałeś na neurotoksyczność i śmierć neuronów, wtedy neuroplastyczność nie pomoże, ponieważ oznacza przystosowanie się do zmian, ale nie ponowny wzrost komórek, komórki w ośrodkowym układzie nerwowym nie dzielą się i nie odrastają. Większość osób z łagodnymi objawami odstawienia wyzdrowieje. Mój nie. 

Thank you for the explanation and I am sorry. So I understand that restoring the preparation does not make sense because the damage has occurred.
I was euphoric for six months on escitalopram so the neurons or receptors were probably dying off in this serotonin paradise.
