Fossy45 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Hi I'm bobby and 8 months ago I started to suffer with anhedoina the inability to feel any sort of pleasure because I consumed loads of recreational drugs and basically ruined my life. The drugs left me so messed up I struggle with life so much, I have had all the symptoms you all have been talking about but I stupidly had a relapse on drugs 4 months after suffering with my Drug poisoned body. I have very weak and stupid mind and the relapse made me feel so much worse because now I don't had any symptoms what so ever I just feel like an empty raging time bomb shel. I know I have something wrong with me but I can't feel it its torture because I know it started after my relapse. Can anyone help me Edited January 22, 2017 by ChessieCat reworded obscenity Link to comment

nz11 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Fossy are you able to answer SW's questions. We haven't heard back for a while. Thought for the day: Lets stand up, and let’s speak out , together. G Olsen We have until the 14th. Feb 2018. URGENT REQUEST Please consider submitting for the petition on Prescribed Drug Dependence and Withdrawal currently awaiting its third consideration at the Scottish Parliament. You don't even have to be from Scotland. By clicking on the link below you can read some of the previous submissions but be warned many of them are quite harrowing. 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 Recovering paxil addict 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! "Every time I read of a multi-person shooting, I always presume that person had just started a SSRI or had just stopped." Dr Mosher. Me too! 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 Let people help people ... in a natural, kind, non-addictive (and non-big pharma) way. J Broadley 2017 Link to comment
