mentalhealth1 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hello Everyone, This is my first post. I have been lurking on this site for over a year. I wanted to share a success story. I have been on every anti-depressant you could ever imagine for the past 30 years. To put them in my signature would be a waste of time as there would not be enough room. LOL. Recently I tapered off of Klonopin and then Gabapentin using NAD+ Therapy. This was the only way I could get off and it worked great. I had protracted withdrawal which was bad. I have tried to get bank on anti-depressants recently and I am just too sensitive. I read about using Fish Oil on this site and the post that "AltoStrata" has made about fish oil. I went to Trader Joes and purchased exactly what he was taking and implement the same thing. Guess what. I feel amazing. I cannot thank you enough AltoStrata for sharing this. Link to comment
Moderator Emeritus Shep Posted January 9, 2022 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hi, Mentalhealth1. Welcome to Surviving Antidepressants. I'm glad you're feeling so well! Yes, fish oil is a good supplement to add for many of us during withdrawal. Are you completely off all psychiatric drugs now? Please add a signature. While I understand you've been on a number of them, the first post in this thread describes how you can add them all in: How to Summarize Your Drug History in Your Signature Here's a direct link to your signature: Create Your Signature in "Account Settings". Please continue to use this thread to ask questions about your taper and recovery. Link to comment

It's mainly used for alcohol and opioid withdrawals. I never heard back from the SA member that I tagged to hear what they had to say about it.
