Yes, but look at Perdue pharmacy going bankrupt for their crimes and they deserve much more.

16 months off this drug after over 11 years on it. I continue to heal and feel better each week. My waves get shorter and my windows get longer. I am so thankful for all the help I have received and would of not got this far without this forum. My health condition improves month by month after I was told by doctor I would just have to deal with it. Never ever give up!!! At times I wanted to reinstate and thought the WDs would never end. I listened to people who have gone through it and healed and regained their lives back. 

 

The only symptoms I have left are headaches and tinnitus. The muscle twitching and feeling of fire going through my veins has not come back since I last reported it. 

 

Everyday that passes is one day closer to being healed

Thanks, I hope all is going well with you :)! 

 

Last weekend I went to the cabin with my friends and decided to not fully comply to the nutritional lifestyle I have been following for almost 20 months no, I paid the price this week. My headaches/tinnitus were way worse. I had insomnia return for a few days. I am feeling back to my baseline now. But once again another reminder that I cannot stray far from what has got me this far as two days of eating food I have not in over a year pushed me back into a wave.

I believe this for sure; iam sad because you need sometimes to eat out of the nuitrition style but, it is ok too that u have a way to return to ur baseline.

I think u may add only one type of not listed foods to your day coco.

Like u, it becomes very bad when I eat out of the food list of dr grundery and that u sent to me but, I try to bear instead of keeping the diet in details, I hope u can bear too.

Sending hugs to u❤.

Well after having that little blip about 10 days ago I feel really good. My focus is returning and at times is better than it has ever been in my life. This is awesome! My headaches/tinnitus seem to have chilled out alot and I don't notice them as much in the evening before bed and directly after waking as I did for a long long long time. My autoimmune condition is reversing at a really good pace now.... especially after I had numerous doctors tell me "I would have to just live with it".... well the lie detector determined that was a lie!

 

I am now able to feel goosebumps and shivers in my body that relate to emotions that while I was medicated I would just be "meh" and feel nothing. I can actually cry now when I feel sad over situations or memories that before I would have the "meh"  feeling. My rage has all but disappeared. Being medicated the only emotions that really stuck out was extreme rage that was uncontrollable. Now I can be in extremely stressful work situations and get through it without a ***** in the armor as before I would be having a melt down.

 

Once again I would like to thank absolutely everyone! I would of never been able to get off the medication I was on if it was not for this forum. I love you all!  Never forgot! Everyday that passes is one day closer to being healed!  It may not seem like it at times.

 

But healing is not linear. It sucks hearing that but it is the way it is. It's like 4 steps forwards 3.5 steps back, 4 steps forward 3 steps back, 4 steps forward 2.5 steps back and so on.

Great to hear that you healed a lot! How is your fatigue? May I ask how old you are?
I am 13 months off Paxil and fatigue is better but still severe.

My fatigue is 10318904384238x better. I was unable to do a single pushup for a long time I would say over 6 months maybe even longer. I am now able to workout everyday and go to work with minimal fatigue. I am 32 years old. It will get better...keep going! I am close to 17 months off of it now. I get out in the sun as much as I can. Vitamin D is critical in healing the body! All the best. Never forget.... Everyday that passes is one day closer to being healed

Thanks @mustafa !!! 

I am glad it is helping you. It helped me immensely. I know it one of the main reasons I was able to get off and stay off this time. 

It will be ready one day! 

All the best to you!!

Thats just great! Thank you for your supporting words. You sound like you appreciate your improvements a lot. You can be proud of yourself to get off these meds and surviving the  hardest part of your WD symptoms! Congratulations!

I am 30 years old. Sometimes I still despair on fatigue, its most present before midday and it comes in windows and waves. Also deep down I have small doubts its really WD. Yes, very moderate sun exposure has a  good effect to me as well.
I also supplement Vitamin D, which is one of the rare supplements, I feel it really gives me a postive effect. I made a blood test (can also be made for 20 bucks online) and it was quite low despite of sun exporse and 1000 i.u. per day.

You are welcome  I am glad they help! Yes, it is by far the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. THANK YOU

 

Yea, why do you doubt it? I know almost everything that I went through for health conditions were caused by the use of the medication. There is no long term studies and they blatantly lie about it and cherry pick their data for their meds. Yes, I have been taking 10,000 IU's for over 20 months now. The body is an amazing machine and knows what it needs. I never used to tan at all in my life. I would burn and then go back to ghost white. This is the first year in my life that I have been able to tan and I attribute that to having higher vitamin D levels. The skin absorbs UVB rays and converts them into vitamin D. So the reason my skin was always so white was because my vitamin D levels were so low. Now that they are higher I am able to tan as the body uses pigment in the skin to control the level it needs.

I read somewhere that it can be WD symptom itself to not to believe its WD. I agree with that.
I mean it makes the most sense that several drugs, CT´s and taking it in a young age have damaged my brain and body a lot and causing it to be in WD. But how can I be 100% sure?
I agree there are so many lies, supressed facts and uncertainties and its all just about money and not about the truth or helping people with their health. It makes me so angry that I am such a mess now because of this. I lost so much trust in the system.
There is hope that things will get better. I hope someday i can say fatigue improved 10318904384238x as well 🙃

How are you doing?

Yes, it is messed that capitalism has put cash over human life. There are improvements in it though. Especially with what the UK has done is a massive step. You will get there!!! It may feel like it will never happen! But it will!

 

I am doing very well. I just did a 4 day canoe trip with some friends. It was roughly a 55 km paddle and lots of portages!! It was great  I was barely able to get out of bed a year ago. Now I can do this! It seems surreal but it is not. You will get through it!

That's fantastic!  Really glad you enjoyed it.

 

As an encouragement for other members, remember that it doesn't have to be something big like what Cocopuffz has done.  Anything that you can do now that you weren't able to do previously is progress.  I recently hurt my back and have had to rely on my daughter to do my washing.  I experienced real joy this morning being  able to do a medium load of washing (medium sized items) and hang it inside on a clothes airer.  Something that I usually think of as a chore.  And being able to easily get a meal ready for myself because I no longer need the crutches.
