Three Warriors to Survivors making a difference

I was on 7 psyche meds for many many years. I feel every word y'all say. I'm so very sorry!!!!! I'm off of everything. I'll be 50 soon. I started meds at 13. I had trauma. I'm not mentally ill. I'm not bipolar. The meds give you mental illness.

Your brain is your life!!!! It shouldn’t be messed with!!!!!!!

[@stardustring]

Exactly

[@stardustring]

My goodness. I have been dealing with situational anxiety and emotional pain from past experiences. I new that I needed therapy not medication because I could still function and had my personality. My husband kept insisting and insisting. To try medication. I kept saying no no no. That's not what I need. Anyways I have in my biggest mistake. Now I can't function.

[@Lisa-xf5uf]

I can't watch this without crying. I KNEW IT WAS MY MEDS AND NO ONE BELIEVED ME. NO HELP!!!!!! I had akastisia for the first time at 13 ****** years old. Bless anyone dealing with this. I'm so sorry

[@ema_videochannel]

its INHUMANE look at all these people commenting this should be enough to get the drugs banned x

[@Lisa-xf5uf]

@@ema_videochannel YEP. I have worse PTSD from akathisia, the harm these meds have done to me, and being gaslighted by the medical profession than the PTSD that caused me to get on meds in the first place. That was a breeze compared to akathisia

@@Lisa-xf5uf same I looked for therapy but I was in cortisone withdrawal and because everyone was being pushy about sleep I ended up on clonazepam. I need therapy for seeking therapy but I don't dare to anymore.

[@xy-qy2yg]

Just had another neurologist tell me that 0.25 mg clonazepam is a low dose and I could stop without any issue of seizures lolz

[@ReneeFitch]

In addition to “Take Your Pills: Xanax,” another good documentary to watch is “Medicating Normal.” Thank you all for your willingness to share your stories!

[@stardustring]

I saw that video I thought my god I'm glad I'm not in that state. Fast forward hear I am disfuntional because of lozerapm and SSRI that I never needed.

[@Lisa-xf5uf]

It is quite shocking when not even one family member shows up

[@stardustring]

Absolutely

[@Lisa-xf5uf]

Ty.ty.ty!!!!!! Bless y'all. I've healed enough to be able to watch this . AKASTISIA IS HORRIFYING. BLESS YALL

I'm in uk, been on lorazepam 1mg since April 2022. I've tried swapping to diazepam to taper but couldn't cope with sedation/depression. I'm in a real pickle, waiting to speak to a private addiction home support service through a private psychiatrist. NHS not taking me seriously, gaslighting saying my anxiety is getting worse, that it's nothing to do with the lorazepam.

[@xy-qy2yg]

I agree!! 12 days already messed me up insanely bad 😢

[@stardustring]

My husband was supportive at first. now he get really angry at times and yells at me. Once he yelled so much he said don't touch me, get away from me. Its heartbreaking because my brain not functioning normal.

[@barnbrac2452]

Emma, I feel I need to get in touch with you. I’m also on quetiapine and Mirtazapine and tapering diazepam. The only reason I’m on quetiapine is they tried to section me also. I had to take it or be sectioned. I was amazed to come across your story and the similarity in drugs. I hope you’re doing ok currently.

[@diefilmkitchenjohannessand2173]

Hi there, i also had or have Benzodiazepine withdrawal from ativan now i m 6 months off and i also get mirtazapine and quetiapin. How are you doing?

[@michellemarini5128]

My Dr says my situation is, " small potatoes "! 29 years and I'm stuck. No one wants to help me safely, slowly taper off of this horrible drug. LOR!!! I've been suffering horribly forever :(.

[@isabellalive2.081]

Just take less every day!!!!!!!! You need me to write it down on a piece of Paper? Or is complaining & THE victim hood to sweet.

[@isabellalive2.081]

I just said your situation was small potatoes as well.

[@freddumee]

Do It yourself, but slowly! You don't a doctor ,they know nothing about tapering. Buy a microwages and a scalpel to scratch the tablets off.

[@madelynhernandez7453]

Its not a little harm world, it is huge and severe. I wish my parw ts could upload videos of the constant hell. The horrific isolation because no one can go through it with you, o e must be present and we cant escape our ownselves.

[@nonyabusiness7200]

Remember my name. You WILL hear it on lifetime movie network eventually when I can get help with the book (I was shot in the face and the Dr's screwed me baaaaad) if I even survive thru this

[@ema_videochannel]

im sorry to hear this, you are strong, I look forward to hearing about the book! xx

[@katrinamenzies9398]

I would love to write a book too about how benzodiazepines destroyed my life prescribed Ativan at 22 no informed consent.

[@backwoodsgirl6100]

How are you doing?

[@michellevokey9327]

Thank you for sharing your experience! Such a great insight!

[@jackiegerspachhas4237]

Thank you!!!!!!!!♥️

[@xy-qy2yg]

I had to figure out everything myself 😢 even the cortizone withdrawal but I realized too late.

[@fasthackm]

I have bipolar illness (currently stable). Ive got to take Seroquel nightly bcuz my mind cannot naturally sleep (which SUKS bcuz of the side f/x) 😒 Oh, 2 nites ago I decided to completely BOMB myself with Ambien (bcuz im in PAIN), now older I suffer benzo side-f/x that makes me so NAUTIOUS. 🤮

[@vikasgupta1828]

Thanks

[@stardustring]

Yes yes i understand what she saying about suffering and the suicide thoughts but you don't actually want to die

[@SigmaMindset313]

[@conquernremind408]

Can i be on your podcast one day soon ???

[@stardustring]

Exactly they believe drs more

[@xy-qy2yg]

We have to tripple check and do it ourselves!!! I tripple checked with 3 doctors before taking cortizone and before taking clonazepam. All bad advice!!!

[@kathleenwharton2139]

You need to Correct Why you took them in the First Place or it is not going to Work. 😊❤

[@stardustring]

People become drs for the money at least some do

[@conquernremind408]

They put me on 300mg of clozepam and sth more on top of that at 21

[@stardustring]
