Dear SA community,

 

My name is Naomi Zucker, and I am working on my PhD in cultural anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. I’m writing my dissertation about psychiatric medication, with a focus on discontinuation and withdrawal. Broadly, I’m interested in the gaps between how mainstream psychiatry understands and talks about these drugs and how people who take them actually experience them. 

 

I am currently recruiting participants to interview about their experiences with medication and withdrawal. The interviews will take place over Zoom (or phone/another platform if you prefer), and usually take about 1-2 hours. In the interview, I will ask questions about your experiences taking and stopping medication; going through withdrawal; and seeking support, information, and care. Your privacy will be fully protected, and your name or any other identifying features will not be included in my work. 

 

If you are interested in being interviewed, please message me here on SA. If you have any questions, I am happy to discuss via email, DM, or on the phone. Please also feel free to share my contact information with anyone else you know who might be interested in participating.

 

Thank you so much, and looking forward to talking with you!

 

Naomi

Naomi just interviewed me on Zoom, and I'd like to say she's very pleasant and knowledgeable, and it was a comfortable experience.  She's doing important work that can really get the word out.  I highly recommend talking with her.
