Some fun for those in the mood!
 

Those of us recovering from the iatrogenic injuries that psych drugs cause have a very bumpy healing road. It’s never linear and there are just tons and tons of set backs…
 

Not unusually I’ve been having a bumpy ride…and today, the refrain of an old song popped into my head. It’s VERY happy. And today I can see again how I keep learning more and more and my nervous system is also getting stronger.
 

I get knocked down, but I get up again. You’re never gonna keep me down.
 

So, yeah, Amen and Hallelujah…we have resilient spirits and body and we heal…even if it’s one hell of a bumpy ride.
 

Have fun listening to Tubthumping by Chumbawamba…I just did.

I like this song. I heard it on the radio on the way to work this morning.

Prozac 1999-2009 quit semi cold turkey.

 

2012 Placed on Seroquel 25 mg, Tranxene (Clorezepate) 3.75 mg 3x a day, Remeron 30 mg for anxiety/akathesia.

 

Weaned off Seroquel and Tranxene .to Remeron 15 Mg.

In May 2014 tried quitting Remeron at its lowest dose. Had severe withdrawals.Reinstated Remeron at 30 mg by doctor. August 5 2014 entered hospital. Doctor pulled the Remeron and bridged it to Pamelor (Nortriptyline) 40mg and Zyprexa 2.5mg.After removing the Remeron all my bad symptoms went away and I am stable.

 

9/11/14 - 7.5 mg tranxene, 40mg Pamelor, Zyprexa 2.5mg

12/29/14 -  20mg Pamelor, 1/6/15,  7/31/15 3.5mg, 8/10/15 3.2 mg, 9/15/15 2.2mg, 10/15/15 1.8mg
