Why Psychiatric Drugs Are Killing Your Brain And How To Get Out Of The Bind With Dr. Peter Breggin

[@donnaminchin8039]

I am literally sobbing right now. Over 20 years on antidepressants that were increased many times... they kept me in an abusive relationship and did not help suicidal feelings at all. I'm happily on half the dose I was 4 years ago when I fled the abuse. Thankyou thankyou thankyou! I WILL get off them!

[@krissygirl333]

Good for you!!! They love returning customers Dr. Breggan and his wonderful expertise advice got me off Zoloft that I was taking 20 years mostly off and on and xanex. I detox five years ago and I’ve never felt better and I’ve never been depressed. Sometimes we need to work through our problems verbally and that’s what I did. Good luck to you. You’ll feel wonderful.

[@ToddDouglasFox]

@@donnaminchin8039 We advise our patients with diet, supplements, and even amino acid IVs at the beginning. It’s usually 6 months tops to avoid protracted withdrawal. Mineral and amino acids and the right drinking water are foremost on the list. Look deeper online for information. Most doctors do not know what to advise. Never do it alone, get professional help (not from the ones actively prescribing).

@@anthonyboarman3833 I’m glad they helped you through some difficult times 🙏🏻 I’m not totally against them I just want people to be aware that for many of us they are very difficult to get off. They are also not to be used long term and like all medications they stop working. The side affects are real and are listed on the packet but many don’t recognise them so move onto even more medications to treat the side affects from the first drug. In my experience I found that doctors are not educated in slow tapering methods and certainly don’t talk about withdrawals past two weeks. I believe you should do your own research before asking a Doctor for advice on a safe tapering plan. It’s not unusual for Doctors to use the 2-4 week taper plan which is way too fast for many and can cause major withdrawals and even suicide. Research is key good luck to you and your family.

Same diagnoses. I'm 61 and grew up taught to trust doctors and not question them. 4 and 1/2 months out from having clonazepam forcibly stopped and I can't find anyone who can tell me how long the insomnia and neuropathic pain and burning will last. I've got most of the paws symptoms and checked out benzo buddies but there was no information for people who aren't tampering. I didn't have a choice. No informed consent. My doctor retired and no one would prescribe clonazepam and humanely tapper. Besides, the longest in patient tapper is 2-4 weeks and we all know that's not long enough anyway so I'd still be in the same boat. The pain is so bad that I can't even cry. I don't have anyone. Any knowledge of how long this will last would be a great help. All I find are horror stories and that's not helpful. I don't watch too much on this anymore because it's too late for those of us who are already victims.

[@darrellmanning2838]

Hi, What helped me significantly was changing my diet. Of course one should come off medication slowly especially if you've been on them for years. Watery fruits such as Grapes Berries and Melons support detoxication. fruits supply the brain with glucose which our brains thrive on therefore usually resulting in improved mood and energy. Salads are good for grounding oneself. the more raw fruits vegetables, herbs (some nuts) in diet the better. cooked food is denatured and doesn't have the same level of nutrients so I believe cutting back on cooked meals helps. eating alive foods makes one feel alive. Most of my learning on this came from Dr. Robert Morse a Naturopathic physician and vegan!

@@Medietos psychiatry never helps, it disables. If you can find an alternative that is best. There only treatment is medication and any other treatments they offer such as cognitive behaviour therapy will not benefit while your on antipsychotics because antipsychotics in my experience take your life away so you can't live and move forward in life. A good therapist who is not a psychiatrist may help but they would have to not just refer you to psychiatry again. I don't have the answer for your specific situation because everyone is different. Leaving psychiatry behind for good is the best option.

I guess that it is not true - family loves also the people who are depressed - but every one has to take care on hin one system for not breaking a part in a wold of expensive living - every one has his limits - family are making a big mistake if they think that some one is always the same and there is no chance to get well again - What I want to say is that it is important for families to give persons with depressions the feeling that they belive in overcoming the depressions - but it is also important for the persons with depressions that they realize that there is something to do to get well again. Do you want to get free of this criminals woh give depressive people drugs ? Good Idea - 2. What do you think has Dopamine and Serotonin to do with Protein ? More than you think! So it is very up to our own living style : look at google how much protein per kg body weight is recommended and try to eat it it is more than most of us can believe - and don't forget that we are born to run , move - and sitting alone makes people sick ! It is not a must or that I think that I know it better - I can imagine that there is so much pain from things that happens in familys and that this is really hurtful , but the best way out is to try to understand thing wich can not be unterstood - maybe by healing yourself - hopefully the family comes later an gives you the love they brothers sisters parents ,... would like to give you - it is al a very said mixture - what to focus on ?

Tranylcypromine and selegiline are revered compounds among the neurohacking and anti-aging sphere. Just.... don't use the toxic ones with the hydrazine backbone unless the patient is experiencing unmanageable side effects from the others (isocarboxazid) or fails to manage anxiety (phenylzine) Anyway....It's a billionaire's nootropic and ergogenic agent which preserves youth in the brain.
