I am so angry. I was told many years ago, decades ago that there are no withdrawal side effects for anti depressants... I trusted my psychiatrist with my life, he lied to me, anti depressants are there to help you for a short period , not to take for the rest of your life. I want to get off venlor 150 now. I wonder how long it will take me...

So gustav means its all in our head? im 7+ years still have symptoms. Yeah maybe its not protracted anymore

I want to back up blu's comment. Dr Healy thanks to your podcasts I have had two important people in my life finally accept and understand what is happening to me.

1:09:45 tappering

39:00 wow. SSRI withdrawal symptoms are the same or worse than depression symptoms

34:00 “we now know there’s no evidence of lower chemical imbalance

29:53 “mild, brief, or self-limiting”. Original was drug company and made its way into ”authoritative guidance”

Everything has some sort of capitalist agenda attached to it, and most people are unaware of how deep this really goes. I still need to eat and pay rent/bills. Money=Survival. But to what degree of harm to people and the planet? Got to draw a line somewhere hey 🙂🌍☮️

Nobody is even close to discussing this. I can't understand. So corrupt.

I was punished and threatened and much more as a result of taking the reins and taking various steps which saved my life … and ultimately resulted in outcomes which made my recovery more difficult and one in which I had to navigate alone ….. the system specifically ignored environmental and phenomenological factors which not only could be proven but were proven by the very agencies which then proceeded to medicate me to a point which rendered me unconscious …. Unable to protect myself from An institution that, to this day … still can not even justify their actions through a balance sheet showing net profits made as a result of the unnecessary and systematic and deliberate actions that were credited as being of a medically necessary (under the directives which were in place and put in place under both a fraudulent and illegal nature ) That is to say - there was zero evidence, zero proof and zero need to methodically carve out that which was the very essence and being that I would describe as ‘me’ The timing of my interactions with psychiatry were such that true very consequences are forever unfolding …. In such a way that is so fucked up that one could say they are in all actuality , at this point in time and for some time now in general … inconsequential- For, in the beginning … a certain separation of self and the very building blocks of one’s own ideologically based, phenomenologically based (both past and present) and personal subjectively, as well as interpersonal subjectivity and contextualism /phenomenology …. Are all… all these things are in one way or another…. Immediately / over time , or through some other manner - distinctly and thoroughly plucked and removed from the individual …. Kept under a sort of compartment that is unattainable - A compartment in which the individual is aware of … yet unable to convince those around he or she , the need for the reintegration of the very thing which is both in isolation and not - in and of itself… existing for merely one singular purpose …. That purpose being of a civil and human matter concerning rights and liberties. The only threat to that which exists under lock and key …. Serving zero purpose other than the continuation of a perverse and petty narrative that is perpetuated by such severances made in recent past or the ever increasingly distant past …. Hence, the idea of relativism, is of the most important and noble of pursuits in that of its preservation …. Over time however , I’m finding it far more difficult to reintegrate the aspects of my own self which I’d describe as core and essentially …. Becoming ever the more difficult to reclaim which each and every passing year …. There seems to be no actual effort on the part of the system and organizations / institutions which embarked upon a so called medically necessary and for one’s own good , trespassing unlike no other…. A trespassing which is of the greatest concern and an existential threat that lingers and seems to continue to disrupt not only my inner seeking of peace and being but also that of both my overall executive functioning’s …. Which continue to deteriorate … falsely giving claim and sustenance to that of the past transgressions and acts of violence and destruction arbitrarily and unforgivably laid upon my exacting and once hyper present , critical and essential being and person …. The ongoing dilemma of “I am “ becoming more and more tumultuous and tedious , such that it often is abandoned all together, adding to the false narrative of a systematic assault and annihilation and raping of the human body mind and soul. A desecration of any and all aspects unto which we might associate with free- free will , freedom …. Individuality, person, personality, and so on

Our kids are being used for profit 😢

It's been 7 months since I was forcibly stopped from clonazepam and am bedridden with dpdr,severe nerve pain,agoraphobia and fear so bad that I haven't left my apt for 6 months and haven't talked or seen another person in 6 months. I'm 61 and so far there doesn't seem to be any hope that I will get better. All I can find is "time" is the answer but by then my life will be over.

Who is the host ??

Thank you 🙏

This was a decade ago? Could've been yesterday, nothing has changed

SUD peers need to check their biases towards mental health peers and also watch out for pushing a one size only approach. I went to a peer conference in Oregon that basically turned into an A.A. retreat drowning out all other voices. It was a very demeaning experience.

You can actually start fires. And the design of the homes will dictate more of whose house gets burned down than luck. Those who are designed to be more vulnerable or less based on wealth will dictate whoses house gets destroyed lying kites holding down Alex Gotskies conspiracy as a conspiracy and not reality.

How much profit does a potential health defect generate for profit? It’s all about profit. Humans are giving each other cancer and tricking them to act crazy all for profit. It’s not about bettering humanity. It’s all about increasing the bottom line. Therefore there’s a incentive to make more cancer patients and make more people act crazy so the system profits.

Just humans fucking with other humans. That’s it.

Kite and Heebs lie and know it’s technology. Kines, it’s all spycraft.

I don’t know what’s more disrespectful? Labeling someone a schizophrenic, or a kite? I don’t believe schizophrenic is real, and it’s all just technology that Russians are driving and CIA.

The gaslighting is the only reason they are able to get away with what they do.

I read his book and OMFG!, what a hellish detox, hope all is well still

Thank you so much for this amazing presentation!! I think it is incumbent upon all of us who are psychiatric drugs survivors somehow keep fighting to inform the medical community about the real dangers of these drugs. With proper information and research studies to backup claims I think progress can be made. I'm not saying it will be easy though. But if not us, then who??

I’m joining because I went through withdrawal from Benzodiazepines several years ago. I just turned 71 years.

End tranquilizing olanzipine torture

Thank you❤

No there is no message of hope.

Thank you all for taking your time to do this video on so much good information and hope .God bless.

Psychiatry is a predatory system rooted in deception and exploitation, designed to trap people into a never ending cycle of dependence. Psychiatrists manipulate individuals into believing they have mental illnesses, weaponizing vulnerability to create lifelong customers. This isn’t about care or healing it’s about control and financial gain, no matter the cost to human lives. The process is insidious. It begins with a diagnosis often based on vague or subjective criteria, followed by the prescription of powerful, mind altering drugs. These medications frequently cause debilitating side effects physical, mental, and emotional which are then conveniently labeled as "new symptoms" of an evolving condition. The solution? More drugs. This creates a spiraling feedback loop where patients are constantly medicated, never cured, and always dependent on the system. Psychiatry does not address root causes. It does not seek to heal. Instead, it labels, medicates, and profits. The pharmaceutical companies fuel this machine, incentivizing psychiatrists with financial rewards and promoting the normalization of drug dependency as "treatment." The result is a society full of overmedicated individuals whose suffering is exploited for profit. This is not healthcare. This is a system built to enslave people, strip them of their autonomy, and turn their pain into profits. It’s time to confront this fraudulent industry and expose it for what it truly is: a dangerous, exploitative racket that profits from human misery while pretending to offer solutions

Cheer~~~the performance of actions without conscious thought or intention.😢

Fantastic book that helped me tremendously with my tapering off Effexor: Own Your Self by Kelly Brogan.

I just find it ironic that "Selective" SRIs/"Selective" NRIs GAVE me intrusive thoughts/OCD. ie: created a "Monoamine (chemical) imbalance". And having intrusive thoughts/OCD during acute withdrawal + protracted withdrawal syndrome from Mental Health medicines. Just completely unethical and ludicrious, yet here we are... Psychotropic Pharmaceutical-induced iatrogenic neurological dysregulation of the nervous system & noxious brain chemistry dysregulation syndrome, Psychotropic Pharmaceutical-induced iatrogenic monoamine Serotonergic/Dopaminergic/Norepinephrine Dysregulation Syndrome, & Psychotropic Pharmaceutical-induced sensory systems dysregulation syndrome. I'm still not anti-medicine. It's consumer's choice. Go get your prescription if you'd like to try one/some. Any Walk-in Clinic will help you with that. Consumer's choice. But please just give Informed Consent. I never did. I've lost thousands upon thousands of dollars + opportunities cost since summer 2012. Please proceed with cautious optimism.

I encourage everyone to look up the “Stockdale Paradox”. Dr. Healy says “this is grim but it is going to be over. Maybe in a while, but it is going to be over”. This is essentially what the Stockdale Paradox is.

What is your contact information? I would love to get in touch with you.

Knowing that the withdrawal process has such apalling effects for so many and yet psychiatrists and medics still prescribe these toxic substances. Its ludicrous. What happened to listening to people and finding out what is happenening in their life that is causing upset. What impact is their environment having eg and can that be changed... common sense therapy.

I admire Laura and her work so much.

I've sent letters to the editor of the New Yorker numerous times and they're never printed, and of course, the subject isn't pursued.

@ 1:08 - special shoutout to the fluffy dog. Boopable snoot, flippy floopy ears beady eyes, for sure. Not to detract from the incredibly important point of ME/CFS (light/sound sensitivity). It's very real and very disabling. It happens while on these legal Psychotropic agents & once off them. It goes against evolution, 100%. Just give it time to return to homeostasis. And hopefully have a monthly disability cheque in the mean time. Because this is no joke. It's not Psychosomatic whatsoever. Just ignore it and try to move on as best as possible. @1:18:00 - it's not a good feeling to be harmed by modern medicine. None of us did anything wrong whatsoever. Ever. We blindly trusted and ignored our better judgement that was telling us that this isn't a good idea. & when we tried to speak up in order to stop being harmed, we were medically gaslit. I understand the medical gaslighting, because those Psychis'/GP's have never been on these legal Psychotropics themselves or experienced trying to competently and safely taper off without your physiology noticing. If I had know this, I would've only worked with medical professionals who have had personal experience. It's a safety issue for us. The medica gaslighting is still incredibly unethical and can be legal, but what else can you say? So, let's help the younger generations from preventing this dangerous disaster from happening to anyone else & keep them in the workforce. Let's give them resources so they have more advocacy for themselves. ***INFORMED CONSENT*** is all it comes down to. None of us gave it, and that's why we've become disabled by modern medicine. I've just found that the State of Wisconsin has Informed Consent forms for Seroquel, the 'selective' NRI's/etc. So, that's progress. Let's keep evolving forward. Ignore the antagonistic Psychiatrists and keep trying to show the good ones some resources to avoid doing harm to their clients's bodies, too.

I am so grateful to all of you.

@2:50. Precicely. Dr David Healey & Dr Josef Witt-Doerring likes to use: • Psychotropic Pharmaceutical-induced iatrogenic neurological dysregulation of the nervous system & noxious Monoamine neurotransmitter signaling dysregulation syndrome. • Psychotropic Pharmaceutical-induced iatrogenic monoamine Serotonergic/Dopaminergic/Norepinephrine Dysregulation Syndrome. • Psychotropic Pharmaceutical-induced iatrogenic sensory systems dysregulation syndrome. We never had a 'chemical imbalance' before-hand in the first place to begin with. But we do now while stuck in a chemical dependence to Psychotropic Pharmaceuticals as we slowly taper off of each one. Monoamine ‘Chemical Imbalance’ Biological model of brain chemistry disease (Monoamine neurotransmitter signaling Dysfunction/Disruption). @ 7:50 - we never had ME/CFS or bizarre injuries (GABA receptor damage) that make no sense before, but we do now **while** stuck on these Pharmaceuticals or while tapering (constant trying to go to a homeostasis in your body on a lower dosage in your body) or **once done** tapering & for years later. Truly unethical shit. Lots of us got lucky and didn't get involved in Psychiatry until after our brain stopped developing (age 25'ish). So our brains had the chance to get through all of the Glutamate/Gaba building. And lots of us have never drank/cigarettes/weed/party drugs/etc. @ 11:30 - Seroquel is a musculoskeletal muscle/respiratory muscle/brain matter tranquiulizer as well. You can see for yourself on go.drugbank.com. Psychiatrists don't like when you call it a tranquilizer. They get VERY defensive when you go against the doctrine of Biological/Aetiological, disease-centered, outcome-centered prescribing model Psychiatry (Monoamine ‘Chemical Imbalance’ Biological model of brain chemistry disease/diagnostic inflation). It's disturbing and abhorrent how staff at retirement homes use Seroquel on their residents. It's gotten so bad that Canadian initiatives are starting to make awareness campaigns. It's shocking. My body is stuck in a chemical dependence to both types of Seroquel without my informed consent or my consent at all. Each and every time I have to take it in order to avoid going into withdrawal from a "mental health medicine", my body is being assaulted without my consent. I cannot wait for the day until my body is free from these 2 drugs and never have to hear the word Seroquel ever again. @28:00 - 100% spot-on. They have zero idea about the harsh reality of the products they work with. There is no where else to go to Deprescribe/undiagnose. You just leave worse-off than you arrived in W/D and on even more of these god-forsaken Pharmaceuticals. I remember hesitating each and every single time before walking through the door, because I instinctually knew this wouldn't go well, and I wasn't wrong. @29:00 - yea. that's the standard. they'll insinuate that you have a personality disorder to deflect. What we've all been put through unnecessarily is extremely dangerous, dumb, and incredibly unethical. We've lost thousands upon thousands of dollars, for some our fertility window, our jobs/reputation, and there are zero consequences. @ 53:00 - SurvivingAntiDepressants is a good place to document the next few years of your life. People will find it in the future and find help in reading it to realize what was done to them without their informed consent and what happens afterwards to their body/brain/consciousness/emotions/rebuilding their life after the damage has been done without their informed consent for the next few years, not even just Pharmacodynamics/Pharmacokinetics-wise. @55:00 - yea. That's what BeyondMeds & SurvivingAntiDepressants say: just accept the unethical dangerous bullshit, roll your eyes, and try to keep your days going as best you physically can. See if you can remember how your personality and body functioning was before any of this garbage happened to you. And look forward to going back into the workforce/gym/hobbies/sex/dating/etc. Just ignore it. You'll keep losing money until it ends. But nothing else to say, really. If you'd like to help in the community so Gen Alpha and younger never has to go through this genuinely and legitimately dangerous and unethical nonsense, then great! Always remember evolution and natural selection: you were never ever wrong. And it's inevitable that eventually, your physiology and mind will heal. Eventually. Keep wearing your n95's/n99's to make healing easier.

OMG! Why did I just hear of this at the end of 2024😮 and curious, why no mental Professionals ever mentioned this over last 7+ years of my life 😢 . Fortunately, I did 2 years of deep personal research, and eventually ( a miracle) made it through alive and Now , without the damn drugs!

Mi hijo por culpa de la Paleperidona, se su i ci dó, tenía congestión en los pulmones, diarreas!!! Stop esta medicación

Basta ya !!! Hay muchos homicidios!!! Stop contenciones mecánicas e medicamentosas!!!!

Don’t trust “doctor” howan on Tennessee. He works at lakeside and he diagnoses all minor females with bipolar I think it’s his kink to put minors on antipsychotics and mood stabilizers.

Would you please identify Tanya's research papers and links if possible?

Sem tradução!?😢

Really wise words.
