Thank you for this video. I would really appreciate if you read my story in brief. I have always struggled with anxiety but managed ok without medication. In December 2022 when I was 33 years old I had a major panic attack while driving alone hours from my house. It was a wake up call that I need help for my anxiety so I went to the doctor. Looking back that was the biggest mistake of my life. Seriously, how sad is it that something so well intended on my part, has ruined my life. The psychiatrists put me on SSRIs which never helped. When I reported this they changed the type of SSRI, increased the dose or told me to keep waiting. They continually pushed SSRIs. I have never felt worse in my life. I too wish I had connected the dots sooner. Basically I don't feel like myself. It's like there is a screen up between me and the actual world. I live even more in my head. I have anxiety every moment of every day because the world doesn't come across the way it used to and I don't feel like me and that is scary. I am also on daily benzos. I managed to get off the antipsychotics and mood stabilisers. I am still on benzos and SSRIs and just starting to slowly reduce SSRI dose after connecting the dots. So scared of how I'm going to feel getting off these.

Can we get an update this years? 🤍

Why are doctors so quick to throw drugs at a patient? Money or time constraints?

These doctors are so quick to prescribe these, I am 6 months off Zoloft, was on them 3 years and never again! but I'm still having a difficult time. can't sleep feeling anxious and depressed!

You’ve inspired me to become raw vegan. I’m so proud of you for everything you’ve done. You beat a fucking beast and survived it. The battle of the mind in this is pure evil. Love ya keep up having a progressive life❤ I totally relate to everything you said at the end about the pills making you hate yourself I have felt like I have been Gollum from Lord of the rings, and that’s all I do is be destructive like a borderline you’re very handsome and your boyfriend or maybe your husband by now has a handsome man

I’ve been a subscriber long time. Hugs to you warrior friend. Did your emotions like joy excitement and happiness come back. I’ve been numb now for over 6 years 2 years off all meds. I’m an artist like you I don’t want to live without feelings. I pray yours came back

I took olanzapine for just a few weeks, I stopped taking it CT but after a week I ddn't know what was happening to me, I felt no motivation, lazy at not excited anymore. Everytime I wake up in the morning it feels like a burden. I ddn't even want to go to bathroom. It was not me anymore.

make another video. its been over a year since this one

I've read that there's a high suicide rate among psychiatrists. That's probably the only positive thing about their so-called 'profession'. They lobotomize the populace for 💰💰💰. Even children are not spared. Psychopaths.

Mainstream psychiatrists who prescribe these neurotoxic drugs are basically money-grubbing psychopaths... Devoid of anything even remotely resembling souls. Lobotomy pill pushers for Pig Pharma. Have killed so many people and destroyed so many lives. And now they are even giving these neurotoxic poisons to preschoolers. So nightmarish and evil it can barely be comprehended. But they never go to jail for it, do they? No. Killers who never pay for their crimes

I get insomnia still and depression is still SO BAD especially in the mornings sometimes SI sadly. I never had SI before this. I’m numb emotion wise can’t feel joy or excitement only sadness anger and emptiness. Did you have this problem too? I want to come back. I’ve been having issues eating food because of histamine now. This sucks freaking bad 19 months out now.

thank you,

seripusly why did you put that unnecessery sound at the background .. i struggle to listen you good talk ..

I lost the most incredible woman (I have never loved a woman this much, even though it was short lived until my decline) because of SSRI's, I was prescribed them wrongfully and had a massive allergic reaction that sent me into a huge spiral. She stayed as long as she could and she had to leave me be in the end and I understand why, I was really struggling and effecting everyone around me in a really bad way, it could have been serious. I quit SSRI's cold turkey and 12 months later I feel amazing again, my vitality is back, I am at peace once again. We have recently reconnected again as friends and I love her still from 2 years ago and we get along soooo well, we seem to have a connection that indescribable. She has been on SSRI's for many years, even through my horrendous ordeal and not because I feel I owe her, but I want to see her thrive again too, I am hoping I can facilitate her journey through and off these things too. I know what it takes and whilst my journey is different as I seemed to have the effects of withdrawal while taking them, I still understand the massive depressive episodes, suicidal tendencies etc. To accept and move through is so important. Thank you for your great video, you have done so well !!!!!!! Much peace, Simon (Australia).

I’m getting off suboxone and klonopin right now. I’ve had to use marijuana to ease the symptoms. It’s a battle for sure

It's been almost 6 months since you made this video. Can you make another video for the new year? In this video you seemed like you were 90%+ back to normal. I am waiting to see video where you can say you are 100% recovered. Please post more videos.

💕💕💕

Pills like these have ruined my marriage. My wife is unrecognizable

Thank you so much, Joey. You do an excellent job describing what withdrawal is like. I know because I've been in post-taper withdrawal from psych drugs for nearly 10 months.

Joey, your videos are excellent, have the potential to help thousands, and deserve a much larger audience. Thanks so much

I love you! That’s all bullshit! I watched Death by Medicine yesterday

How long before you felt better from here I am almost 13 months out

Such a wonderful video!! Any experience in dealing with insomnia? I have had it for 3 years, deal with chronic anxiety on a daily basis God Bless you

Any idea how to recover normal brain function after adverse reaction from neuroleptic?

Right on point with what I am experiencing.

35 years taken from me, almost half my life but haven’t given up hope to feel normal and heal yet

These prescribed drugs have destroyed MANY lives.... and most people don't even realize IT'S THE DAMN MEDICATION..... Doctors are COMPLETELY clueless to this. Doctors are also COMPLETELY clueless about the BRAIN AND CNS DAMAGE that they cause.

Thanks so much. I weaned for two years. I’m a month off. Windows and waves

What was your worst symptom what was the hardest hurdle

This is great news! Sounds like you are 90-95% recovered. I think that by next year you will be 100% back to normal with no symptoms. Your giving people hope that there is an end to this. Did you feel like you had a hangover or a mild case of the flu when you were in bad withdrawals? I feel like i have a hangover/ mild flu

Please don't put background music on your videos. I love your content but it's so hard to hear for those of us with hearing loss. (EDIT: I should add I'm supersensitive as I'm in psychiatric drug withdrawal.)

love the Harry Potter in your bookshelf btw 😋

crazy synchronicity I had first seen your old video a few months ago and then it popped up and I watched again just a few days ago and now here you are! my first impressions were wow before you even got into your story I could see it on your face you are doing great! your inner work has definitely come thru and your face has become so beautiful your true self really shines through! love your story. this and the other one . really hits home

Joey first of all I love you!! <3 So much of what you describe resonates with me on such a deep level. The not feeling like myself for years of my life, not being capable of finding happiness during that time, substance abuse to help me feel something, the anger I felt coming off of the Celexa. I am someone who will say I needed the meds when I first started taking them as I was barely able to leave my house from how bad my anxiety was, but it should have been a temporary solution for me and not something that lasted for so many years of my life, numbing me. Thanks for sharing your story so openly, it means a lot to a lot of people. Can't wait to see you again soon my love :)

Keep the video coming....ya saving lives !!!!!
