MagnusCharleston: changes to the brain reversible and a solution to suffering

[MagnusCharleston]

 

Hi Everyone,

 

I have one question and one solution.

 

First my question is are the effects of antidepressants reversible once you get off of them or are the effects permanent in the ways it changes your brain.

 

Second my solution is that I found becoming stress resistance is far more superior than trying to suppress or reduce stress. I found that exercise is better than any medication there is. I do pushups every day and gradually increase the count daily (Up to 1000), and my body has adapted to being resistant to the pain which has reduced my stress, anxiety and depression tremendously. I also use the sauna and both of these methods have strengthened the body and mind to be resilient to pain. You don't have to wait out the suffering, you just have to push through it.

 

God bless you all and have a happy holiday.

You mean the adaptations in the neuroreceptors that occur after usage?

I believe my brain, and or nervous system, and or whole body system........has definitely seen some changes from the medications/drugs I was on.

And then, more than likely has adjusted/adapted some more, post drugs in my case.

 

I shy away from any terms that keep me "sick"........if that makes sense.  I have recently come to accept that yes, I have had some iatrogenic injuries from my psychiatric drug and other treatment.

I live in a healing bubble of types now though.......in other words, I continue to heal.

So yes, I feel like any of the harmful effects of AD's(antidepressants) and other psychoactive drugs I was given, are reversible.

 

So......other answers may vary.  We'll see.  Mine isn't very scientific, just experiential.

This is good.  I think we each find what works best for us.  Thank you for sharing.
