I’ll type my comment again, shorten it and see if it gets deleted again. I said this happed to me. A doctor recommended antidepressants at age 14 for some shyness or “social anxiety” as he called it. The shyness was stressful but I wad many friends and had an active life. It caused a lot of sedation which he said was a symptom of depression. Then it was decades of a medication cascade of extreme weight gain and increased sedation. I eventually had to drop out of school because I couldn’t stay awake in class and I slept all day, I stopped dating and had to go on SSI. Decades later I tapered off which was very rough. There went my life. Now I’m in my 50s with nothing and no family. Just hanging flaps of skin from the weight loss. Thank you so much for these videos. It’s nice to know someone is advocating for people like me.

WOW..This is exactly what happened to me. On top of that, abruptly stop Lyrica, immediately start Gabapentin, lower dosage of seizure med.. all while tapering Clonazepam. Can't sleep, feel like I'm in mania or something, migraine for 8 days. Prescribed olanzapine for 7 days to stop the migraine cycle. I need it because the pain is unbearable. I believe this Dr for my migraines realizes something isn't right. Feels like my brain isn't wired right. Getting electrical shocks all thru my body. Other drs avoid my concerns & I'm definitely not going to the hospital. I'm really trying to hold it together for my family...so hard. If I don't wake up tomorrow that would be ok...that thought goes thru my mind. What a horrible thing to think. This is what the Big Pharma's & Drs do to innocent people.

I know it’s so so hard but just remember that people heal from this all the time, all at different rates. I know it truly feels like a lifetime of HELL while you’re going through it. But with time, the symptoms will diminish. Some people will have a windows & waves pattern while others might never get any windows for a long time, but then they tend to heal quickly once they do start to get them. Please know that you are one hell of a strong person to have made it this far! And you should give yourself credit for every moment of it! What are you withdrawing from? Are you still on any other meds?

[@CompendiumEsoterica]

Also if it offers any hope at all, at 6 months in I was still in full withdrawal. I thought I was going to die. But I’m at just over 10 months now and things have gotten SO much better!

@@safaasgari3115 I’m very sorry that you were forced to go through all of that. The psychiatrists prescribing all this stuff have no idea what they’re doing to people . The biggest, most important thing is not to give up hope. If it’s of any help, one of the best things that helped me was a non neuroexcitatory diet. It’s pretty much a diet very low in glutamate. I came across the idea while reading a story on a support forum about how another person was able to heal. The person was a scientist and knew quite a bit about biology and neuro chemistry. Their case also was extremely severe. When I read about it, I wasn’t too hopeful but I had nothing to lose and gave it a try. I ended up making so many improvements after that. There’s not much to it, you just avoid foods with high levels of glutamate.
