Getting Off Meds: A Positive Paradigm Shift

[@PsychoGemini]

A very timely one for me Michael. Wednesday my time over here in Taiwan as I write this and it was a nerve-wracking day on the job here at my school. On top of that, it's a tough anniversary for me being a living witness to 9/11 as I watched it from my classroom window back in college (Jersey City is less than a mile across the river from NYC). The final part of this where you mentioned inner strength really resonated with me as at the moment I'm struggling with the adjustment to my new job and the seeming mountain of work that was piled on me this first month. I keep repeating this Latin phrase I learned a while ago that goes: Vires acquirit eundo. "We gather strength as we go." This along with Unity's Prayer for Protection have and continue to help me pull through times like this.

Yes, gathering strength as you go. Keep moving forward and gathering that strength, and also remember to stick close to God and to take time to care for yourself as you do. Stress management and self-care remain important in the big picture. Keep at it and thanks for the updates. I know good things will continue to unfold for you!

All about the power. I hand my power over to the medical system, by proxy the political system. I abandon my own power and the power of my family and community. Thanks!

Great comment. This process is about taking back that power!

Hi Michael. Thank you for making this video. I've slowly been coming off zoloft and are now half way there (50mg). I cut down to 50mg 7 weeks ago and experienced a range of strong mood swings. The mood seems to have stabilised but now I've been having nights were I just cant sleep at all. Did you experience this when coming off paxil and did it get better? I always have a very good sleep routine/hygiene. I just dont understand why its started 7 weeks later. Thank you

[@TheLovelyGrind]

Yes I had a terrible struggle with insomnia and getting true restorative sleep, but it did get better. Don't get discouraged!
