TruthSeeker99: Looking for answers


TruthSeeker99

Recommended Posts

I am joining this website to look for answers about the vaccine and how it has affected people because I dont know what to do and have just begun the journey of researching what Im considering to take . After all Trusting the medical profession without doing my own research is something I will NEVER do again . I have learned a very hard lesson. 

 

I have been in withdrawal for 2 yrs after a horrible taper as per my P-doc. I dont want to list all my symptoms theyre too much to list.  Im improving slowly but still in very rough shape, unable to work or do much of anything other than battle my horrible symptoms 24/7 

 

Thank you

Hi TruthSeeker and welcome to SA,

 

I suggest you read this post first.  It is a post made recently by SA's founder, Altostrata.  Note this comment at the bottom of her post which I personally think is very sensible.

 

On 7/21/2021 at 9:15 AM, Altostrata said:

If you are not in a particularly vulnerable group, get vaccinated. You don't want covid-19 on top of your other troubles.

 

Please note that members need to make their own decision about whether to get vaccinated or not.  You are being careful and doing your own research which will hopefully help you to make an informed decision.

 

As soon as you can, please create your drug signature which will appear below every post and will allow us to see your drug history at a glance and give your posts context without us having to find your Introduction topic to find out the information.  Thank you.

I dont trust the founder of SA she sounds extremely ignorant to me , I did some research and Dr Breggin and David Healy are warning people against taking the shots.  There seems to be support groups forming similarly to this one for people injured by the covid V.  Who knows what the longterm effects might be ,as if you look at people here the longterm harm is far more common and worse than the short term people who get injured. .  I cant believe she would stifle debate about such a serious issue. Shes doing what everyone else did to her in regards to Psychiatric drugs. Shameful .

I’m really glad you raised that Breggin and Healey have serious misgivings re the vaccine. I didn’t know that and am now reading Breggins’ book on the subject of covid-19. Thank you for spreading helpful information! 

Started on SA website May 2015: Efexor at age 16 for a few years. I am now 35. Took a 'street' drug at 18 and suffered massive panic attacks. Epilim for approximately one year. At age 22 put on to Sertraline 100mg - took that for approx. 8 years. Dropped to 50mg around age 30. No problems. Tried to taper off 50 mg at age 32 (3 months taper). Was fine for a few months and then had massive panic, anxiety, depersonalisation, health anxiety etc. Went to 100mg for a few months. Dropped back to 50mg. Been on 50mg for past three years. Tried to taper again; went to 37.5 mg, then 25mg and started feeling weird so went back to 50mg. Tried 37.5mg again, found this site and read it's best to taper in 10% increments so put myself up to 45mg on Monday. <p>40mg since April 2015. Dropped to 36mg 06 Sept 2015. Dropped to 34mg 18 October (5% drop). Going to stay on for six weeks. Dropped to 32mg 29 November (5% drop). Dropped to 30mg 10 January 2016 (5% drop). Dropped to 28mg 31 January (5% drop).

Hi @TruthSeeker99

 

No one here is making you take anything.

 

I presume you've read the thread here where members discuss their experiences with the vaccines.  

 

You may also be unaware how much active disinformation on vaccines is being spread by Russia and China.  It gives them a strategic advantage over the west as it further disrupts life here.  If you use social media, you are almost certainly receiving personalised, targetted advertising (let's be frank, it's propaganda) which they use to create confusion and doubt.

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/russia-china-sow-disinformation-undermine-trust-western-vaccines-eu-report-says-2021-04-28/

 

No one is saying the vaccines are perfect.  You may wish to extend your research to look into what dying of this disease or suffering long covid is like.  Hint:  for most people, it's almost certainly less pleasant than getting vaccinated.

 

But that decision is left to you.

 

That is how I interpret Altostrata's position on this.

As requested before please create your drug signature.  Thank you.

 

You state that you have been in withdrawal for two years, but the members don't even know what drug/s you were taking or how you stopped it/them.

  I am new  to this site so I dont know how to post properly yet so Ill try and respond the best way I can.

 

Hayduke you are following into a trap thinking that everything is Russian Disinformation , That is heavy Propaganda itself , are you not aware how much influence Big pharma has on the news ?  If not I cant help you out.  They use the same tactics, the same way anyone who questions Psychiatric Drug safety gets called a scientologist  .  I am talking about Peter Breggin , David Healy , Robert F kennedy JR and plenty of frontline Physicians and independent journalists who act independently and are not part of a political group or a corrupted media complex owned by Global predators and Big Pharma .  

 

Georgina Glad I could help out !

 

Alto I wont engage in further discussion about vaccines anymore .  You understand my position.  Not sure ill stick around here.

That's not even what I said.  

 

SA has a specific purpose, in helping people withdraw from psychiatric prescriptions.  You've expressed no real interest in that.  We're not here to host the argument you're looking for.
