Just curious who else is here solely due to adverse long term reactions to psychiatric drugs? Are you in withdrawal, experiencing a discontinuation syndrome or have some form of brain damage?
Perhaps too many people don't know that their mental health issues are off the charts because the drugs made their original condition worse. It took me a long time to connect the dots.
Maybe someone reading this can benefit from questioning the drug they take and doing some research on the side effects. A lot of times these are increased suicidal ideations and behaviors, increased depression, increased anxiety, not to mention the fatigue, brain fog and sleeping too much or hardly at all, etc, etc, etc...
Not for nothing, but I've heard too many people say they can't function without their meds and while I believe that 100%, I wonder how many times it's just not functioning due to rapid, or even slowly tapering their drugs causing the rebound or withdrawal reaction that makes living unbearable. Then the brain chemistry is really all screwed up.
All too often we just believe that lie they tell us..."It's your mental illness getting worse," "You need your medication just like a diabetic needs their insulin." And right back on the offending drug or a new one, only to further assault the brain.
I wonder how many lives could be saved just knowing their sicker from the drugs they take to treat their mental health. Do we realize that no one ever recovers while at the hands of psychiatrists? That the trend of quality of life is always a downward spiral and the longer you stay on and off meds and playing with your brain chemistry the sooner you'll be wishing for death because of the torment. These doctors don't know what they're doing, they're just guessing. And how many people died and could have recovered just knowing this and learning how to properly and safely take back their health and life.
I'm just curious and looking to have a discussion on this topic and see what others have to say about this.
I was pharma harmed and that's what brought me here.
