carefulprayerful Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hi @anacleta, Thank you for the link you posted with the list of how they used spirituality to deal with pain, anger, and resentment! You can read what I found helpful in my signature (below my post) or my personal page on the Introductions forum (which is where the personal stories are). There is also a forum for success stories on this website. (It has not been a year yet for me, so I have not written a success story.) I have come off all psychiatric prescriptions and am gradually healing. This is a website that is easy to navigate. It is a very concise guide that includes coping techniques and explains how to taper slowly to minimize withdrawal reactions: Home Page | The Withdrawal Project (theinnercompass.org). Hang in there. It gets better with time. Also, they are learning new things about the brain all the time. Best wishes, CarefulP My psychiatric drug history goes back, on and off, to 1999. This is my taper chronology: Jan. 2018: 900 mg Lithium 1 mg Risperidone 250 mg Lamotrigine Jan. 2018: 0 mg Lithium* 1 mg Risperidone 250 mg Lamotrigine Jan. 2019: 0 mg Lithium 0.625 mg Risperidone 175 mg Lamotrigine Jan. 2020: 0 mg Lithium 0.260 mg Risperidone 175 mg Lamotrigine Feb. 2021: 0 mg Lithium 0 mg Risperidone 175 mg Lamotrigine August 2021 0 mg Lithium 0 mg Risperidone 0 mg Lamotrigine *I had to cold turkey lithium because of life-threatening side effects. Measuring doses: The Withdrawal Project at the Inner Compass Initiative website, which explains how to do the microtaper to make it as smooth as possible Nutrition: The Clean Gut Diet by Alejandro Junger, MD, and Viva Naturals Omega 3 Fish Oil Supplements. Psychological: "Dr. Bruce H. Lipton Explains How To Reprogram The Subconscious Mind" (on YouTube) and PSYCH-K (an alternative healing modality).
