GiaK Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Everyone is different. I share not so that what I’ve done might be copied but so that the energy of how I find what is appropriate for me might be gleaned. We are all different. Healing looks different for everyone. https://beyondmeds.com/2018/07/23/second-pharma-njury/ (the post was inspired by a thread I responded to here earlier today...I'm not writing much lately so I always appreciate all of you since you both help me and keep me writing both...reading your experiences and sharing mine both remain a very important part of healing. thank you. ) Everything Matters: Beyond Meds https://beyondmeds.com/ withdrawn from a cocktail of 6 psychiatric drugs that included every class of psych drug.

Rosetta Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I'm so happy to hear that your nervous system is the calmest it's been in 8 years. That must feel very, very good. What a relief to be able to convalesce from all the other issues in peace. https://www.survivingantidepressants.org/topic/16629-rosetta-ct-may-2011-too-fast-taper-feb-2017/?page=25 2001-2011 Celexa 10 mg raised to 40 mg then 60 mg over this time period May 2011 OB Doctor's Cold switch Celexa 60 mg to 10 mg Zoloft sertraline (baby born) 2012-2016 - Doctors raised dose of Zoloft up to 150 mg 2016 - Xanax prescribed - as needed - 0.5 mg about every 3 days (bad reaction) 2016 - Stopped Xanax Late 2016- Began (too fast) taper of Zoloft Early 2017 - Trazodone prescribed for bedtime (doseage unknown) Feb 2017 - Completed taper/stopped Trazodone Drug free since Feb 2017 2017 - Unisom otc very rarely for sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiaK Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 I just emailed this off to my relatives…most of whom I’ve not seen for over a decade now. (my mother is the exception and my brother whom I was close to died a decade ago) Subject: Merry Christmas Dear family, Today is the one year anniversary of arriving in Greenville’s Intensive Care Unit where I almost died from another brain injury secondary to the first one I’ve been healing from for over a decade now. I am alive. Today or the first time in many years I completed an entire Ecstatic Dance Wave (over an hour of dancing…the whole time on my feet…I generally end up on the floor seated for much of the dance) — I am an enthusiastic ecstatic dancer — it is a profound form of movement meditation and a lovely community/self-made village. We call it dance church…or sweating our prayers. I had so much fun. Then I came home and cooked a meal and Paul and I ate Christmas dinner. Something we certainly didn’t do last year as I lay unconscious in the hospital. Still to this day, on a day by day basis, I cannot take it for granted when I wake up in the morning I will be able to leave the house, but today on this anniversary I’ve had a beautiful day and I trust that this bodes well for the future. It is a Merry Christmas indeed. *** More on ECSTATIC dance There is one other post on the subject from a couple of weeks ago too: almost a year since almost dying. what is up? – Everything Matters: Beyond Meds https://beyondmeds.com/2018/11/17/almost-a-year-since-almost-dying-what-is-up/ Everything Matters: Beyond Meds https://beyondmeds.com/ withdrawn from a cocktail of 6 psychiatric drugs that included every class of psych drug.
