Jake22 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Hi, I’m new to this it’s fun trying to navigate 😞 I’m looking for any zoom support groups, I feel like I get more from actually talking to people. I’m working on getting off Wellbutrin and trazodone and hoping to make some friends that understand. Link to comment
Moderator Emeritus getofflex Posted May 7, 2021 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted May 7, 2021 Hello, and welcome to SA. We are a peer owned and run forum of people who have been or are getting off of psychiatric drugs. There are other organizations that have zoom meetings related to getting off of psych meds. The first one that comes to mind is "Mad in America". They have zoom meetings and town halls. Their link is https://www.madinamerica.com Another one is called "Medicating Normal". Here is a link to their website and YouTube channel: https://medicatingnormal.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh-enG_cv0MbGoU4XdT9mxA Surviving Antidepressants forum can help guide you in how to safely taper off of your psych meds while minimizing the withdrawal effects. I suggest you give us a try. Let me know, and we will try to help. Please do not private message me. Only tag me for urgent questions about tapering and reinstating - thank you. ***Please note this is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a doctor who understands psych meds and how to withdraw from them, if you can find one.
