Sally3 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Please let me first say that I am not a scientologist nor do I know alot about them other than that Tom Cruise yelled at Brooke Shields for taking an antidepressant...but I found a site today called "Nurses for Human Rights" started by a nurse named Ken Thomas.....his philosophy is something that I embrace and the site it filled with lots of information about psych. drugs. I just wonder if this site would object to listing this site for others to read, and perhaps it could give some of us some avenues to try to get our stories out there and perhaps make a difference. Please delete this thread if this is not allowed....I am not able to find a place on this forum where I can send a private message to a moderator to ask these kinds of questions.. No offense meant. Sally 3 Have been on .125Klonopin for 17 years....was tapered off rapidly (3 weeks)from a 6 week updose of 1.50 K....went back on .125 K and tapered off there in 3 weeks - September 7 2010...horrible w/d sx. Have been suffering ever since, although do get windows.Was put on 20 mg Prozac back in 1993 also...no issues ever with the prozac. Was told last summer to get off the Prozac by a psychiatrist who thought that my benzo w/d was really due to the Prozac i.e., jitteriness, shaking, nervous, anxiety and depression. He wanted me off in 3 months. I started decreasing 1 mg per months - am now down to 9 mg Prozac....feel like I have been tapering incorrectly.
