Thought for the day: Lets stand up, and let’s speak out , together. G Olsen

http://www.parliament.scot/GettingInvolved/Petitions/PE01651   

Please tell them about your problems taking and withdrawing from antidepressants and/or benzos.

Send by email to petitions@parliament.scot and quote PE01651 in the subject heading. Keep to a maximum of 3 sides of A4 and you can't name for legal reasons any doctor you have consulted. Tell them if you wish to remain anonymous. We need the numbers to help convince the committee members we are not isolated cases. You have until mid February. Thank you

None of the published articles shed light on what ssri's ... actually do or what their hazards might be. Healy 2013. 

This is so true, with anything you get on these drugs, dependance, tapering, withdrawal symptoms, side effects, just silent. And if there is something mentioned then their is a serious disconnect between what is said and reality!

Over two decades later, the number of antidepressant prescriptions a year is slightly more than the number of people in the Western world. Most (nine out of 10) prescriptions are for patients who faced difficulties on stopping, equating to about a tenth of the population. These patients are often advised to continue treatment because their difficulties indicate they need ongoing treatment, just as a person with diabetes needs insulin. Healy 2015

I believe the ssri era will soon stand as one of the most shameful in the history of medicine. Healy 2015

Looks like we will have to add doing impressions of Kurt Cobain to the list of side effects from these drugs. LOL  I'm sorry you smashed your ax, the rages these drugs can cause can be epic if we aren't careful.  I'm trying to get a handle on your story, but you have little bits of it scattered all over the forum so it's really hard to track it all down.  Instead of starting new thread for each thing it's a lot better to keep adding thoughts and questions to your intro thread so everything is all in one place and we can try to find patterns in what is happening.  Adding a signature block would really help us too, so we can know what you're taking, stopped taking, when and how much.  The rage thing can be controlled, been there done that, we have some things that can really help.

 

I'll keep an eye on your intro thread.

 

Brassmonkey

20 years on Paxil starting at 20mg and working up to 40mg. Sept 2011 started 10% every 6 weeks taper (2.5% every week for 4 weeks then hold for 2 additional weeks), currently at 7.9mg. Oct 2011 CTed 15oz vodka a night, to only drinking 2 beers most nights, totally sober Feb 2013.

Since I wrote this I have continued to decrease my dose by 10% every 6 weeks (2.5% every week for 4 weeks and then hold for an additional 2 weeks). I added in an extra 6 week hold when I hit 10mg to let things settle out even more. When I hit 3mgpw it became hard to split the drop into 4 parts so I switched to dropping 1mgpw (pill weight) every week for 3 weeks and then holding for another 3 weeks.  The 3 + 3 schedule turned out to be too harsh so I cut back to dropping 1mgpw every 4 weeks which is working better.

Final Dose 0.016mg.     Current dose 0.000mg 04-15-2017

vilus, I merged most of your topics into this topic, but even after looking at them, like nz, I still don't have a clear idea of what you're taking. 

 

Please post only in this topic for a while until we can understand why you're here and what we can do for you.

 

It's very important for you to understand that if you have ever displayed symptoms called "psychotic," to stay out of the hospital and minimize your drugs, you will need to manage your behavior so you are not perceived as a behavior problem. You cannot simply quit your drugs, it's very possible withdrawal symptoms may cause you to behave in ways that will get you hospitalized again.

How do long acting injections work?

 

is it just a massive dose and a long half life?

did they mix the stuff with tiny droplets of super glue?

 

will punching it make it release a little faster?

i feel like it did a little bit.

 

1 hour and there is already another ******* pill in my system. and im loosing motor control in my right arm.

I hope you've regained control of your arm.

 

The long acting injections usually take several days to reach peak concentration in blood levels. Then from there your body gradually metabolizes the drug or gets rid of it over a period of several/many weeks.

 

Physically punching the injection site won't have much effect on the absorption rate.

With what exactly were you injected?

 

If it is a drug that's supposed to be injected every month, it's half-life is around a month. After that, if you don't get another injection, it will very gradually be metabolized over several months.
