UnfoldingSky Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 I should add that this video might be jarring for people in acute/severe withdrawal. I am not a medical professional and nothing I say is a medical opinion or meant to be medical advice, please seek a competent and trusted medical professional to consult for all medical decisions.

Moderator Emeritus mammaP Posted May 16, 2013 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hits the spot!! Wish it was a full documentary though, it certainly whets the appetite for more info. Most of us here know from painful experience what they are capable of and the public should know too, particularly the so called specialists who give them out like sweets. So many times when a child is sad they are given sweets to make them happy. (did it myself!) and that is EXACTLY what doctors are doing. Pat on the head and a box of 'sweets' to make it better. Better get off my soap box! **I am not a medical professional, if in doubt please consult a doctor with withdrawal knowledge. Different drugs occasionally (mostly benzos) 1976 - 1981 (no problem) 1993 - 2002 in and out of hospital. every type of drug + ECT. Staring with seroxat 2002 effexor. Tapered March 2012 to March 2013, ending with 5 beads. Withdrawal April 2013 . Reinstated 5 beads reduced to 4 beads May 2013 Restarted taper Nov 2013 OFF EFFEXOR Feb 2015 Tapered atenolol and omeprazole Dec 2013 - May 2014 Tapering tramadol, Feb 2015 100mg , March 2015 50mg July 2017 30mg. May 15 2018 25mg Taking fish oil, magnesium, B12, folic acid, bilberry eyebright for eye pressure. My story http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/4199-hello-mammap-checking-in/page-33 Lesson learned, slow down taper at lower doses. Taper no more than 10% of CURRENT dose if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
