It's a miracle that I made it through my SSRI protracted withdrawal. Almost three years later and I'd say I'm about 90% healed.

There is hope for all of you suffering. 🫶🏼

"Demonic level of terror".
Accurate description of what psychiatry calls "anxiety" from protracted withdrawal/brain injury from antidepressants/benzos.
Hard to believe unless you are one of the unfortunates that has lived experience.
Totally accurate.

[Susan @BlackshepSusan]

People need to be afraid of SSRI'S. They need to know the dangers of taking them for longer than the 6-12 week research studies. They aren't harmless little pills that "fix" depression. They cause adverse effects, nervous system/physical dependence, meaning without the drugs the entire cns can't regulate normal bodily functions.
Do your own research. Don't blindly trust Doctors.

I get so sad scrolling through my old posts on here. How does anyone survive protracted withdrawal? How did I?

[Alex @c3vvno]

Anyone making money of psych meds injuries is disgusting when the only answer is time to heal.

[Michael Langston @911poet]

Psychiatric patients know full well how harmful psychiatric drugs are, but most psychiatrists don't have a clue.

I always hear “I love my SSRI it helps me so much I’m so happy” - that’s exactly what I thought the first 2 years of taking it. Felt like superwoman. Until it gradually morphed me into someone I did not recognize and I started losing my memory at 28 years old.

The future of psychiatry is in de-prescribing.

[Dr. Ammous @AmmousMD]

Withdrawal from antidepressants is worse than the “depression."

[sami timimi @stimimi]

If a doctor said this medication can cause insomnia, weight gain, numbness, sexual problems, stomach upset, suicidal impulses and aggression, that some effects can be permanent and withdrawal symptoms can be crippling and irreversible, would you take it? What drug am I referring?

[Susan @BlackshepSusan]

If only ssri's were as wonderful as some social media influencers (including prescribers) are touting.
There's never a mention of physical dependence, sexual dysfunction, emotional blunting, kindling, behavior changes, weight gain, akathisia and the myriad of other adverse responses.
Did your Doctor tell you?

[𝕸𝖆𝖒𝖆𝖇𝖊𝖆𝖗 @mamabearchey]

Life just wants to see how much it can put me through before I throw in the towel.

[𝕸𝖆𝖒𝖆𝖇𝖊𝖆𝖗 @mamabearchey]

I wish I could get my hands on a Paldean Fates ETB or two. 😭

[BASED PSYCHIATRIST @BasedPsychMD]

People are waking up with regards to psych meds.

The deprescribing movement feels like a freight train picking up momentum.

[𝕸𝖆𝖒𝖆𝖇𝖊𝖆𝖗 @mamabearchey]

Never enough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[𝕸𝖆𝖒𝖆𝖇𝖊𝖆𝖗 @mamabearchey]

Really gotta remind myself today that healing isn't linear. I can't wait til the day I'm rid of antidepressants once and for all.

[𝕸𝖆𝖒𝖆𝖇𝖊𝖆𝖗 @mamabearchey]

I have never felt more alone in my life.

[Suneel Dhand MD @DrSuneelDhand]

America needs a mass deprescribing revolution.

The medical profession has gone completely insane in how they dish out pills and injections like candy

[BASED PSYCHIATRIST @BasedPsychMD]

Those who deny psych drug withdrawal have probably never spoken to someone experiencing it.

once your mental health improves, you really start to realize how awfully people treated you when you were just in need of support.
