Healing Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 If you had a lot of money and some researchers sitting around reading People magazine, what questions would you ideally like to have answered by research? A couple of obvious, general ones might be: What are the variables that determine length and severity of withdrawal? How can you re-regulate dysautonomia? But, there might be more specific, smaller questions that you've wondered about, too. And they don't have to be medical, or scientific. They could be sociological, anthropological, historical, psychological, spiritual, etc. Please brainstorm. No question too big or too small. 1996-97 - Paxil x 9 months, tapered, suffered 8 months withdrawal but didn't know it was withdrawal, so... 1998-2001 - Zoloft, tapered, again unwittingly went into withdrawal, so... 2002-03 - Paxil x 20 months, developed severe headaches, so... Sep 03 - May 05 - Paxil taper took 20 months, severe physical, moderate psychological symptoms Sep 03 - Jun 05 - took Prozac to help with Paxil taper - not recommended Jul 05 to date - post-taper, severe psychological, moderate physical symptoms, improving very slowly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neuroplastic Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 The first question I would ask these "researchers" is why they were sitting around reading People Mag. On a serious note, I'd like them to create a computer simulation of the healing process. And as close to the real life thing as possible. Maybe some kind of a time lapse photography there, too. Oh, and in 3 D, of course. 2000-2008 Paxil for a situational depression 2008 - Paxil c/t Severe protracted WD syndrome ever since; improving “The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once” Albert Einstein "Add signature to your profile.
