Withdrawal from Antidepressants can cause suicidal symptoms

I knew what addiction felt like when I stopped all psychiatric RX for 3 days .

It was horrible . One must taper off , which I did .

I used SamE after Trazodone given to me induced colorized dreams and no nightmares

Higher than 25 Mg it kicks in as an antidepressant and maybe a serotonin uptake prohibiter

Not a good thing .

Go slowly after setting your intentions to get off psychiatric RX and their multi side effects which does not mention destroying families as 1 is targeted to be ” it ” .

Peace & Love ❤️

Her Nightmare experience with psychiatry is sadly common .

As was mine and far too many people

I am new here. 3 years ago I was committed to a psychiatric hospital against my will and forced to take Risperdal and abused by a psychiatrist.
I had a physical illness which I now know is mold toxicity and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). It’s not well known in the medical community but I was able to google my symptoms early in the illness and come up with MCAS. Not sure why they couldn’t do that.

I was diagnosed as delusional, extremely mentally ill, with psychosis due to psychotic delusions all because they were too lazy to research my symptoms. I was treated like garbage and called a liar.

I couldn’t eat because of pain and bad reactions to food and got down to 77 lbs and told the psychiatrist I needed to go to the medical hospital and get a feeding tube cuz I was starving to death and she demanded “You’re not going anywhere. You just need to get up, walk down the hall, get your food and eat it.” I was in pain with several debilitating symptoms, could barely walk, had double vision and had just laid in the bed there for 10 days. My friend had to call my doctor to get me out of there.

There’s more but it’s too long. It was a nightmare. And now it’s on my FBI background check that I was involuntarily admitted to a psych hospital. I’m doing everything I can to get justice but it’s not easy. Both hospitals and the medical board won’t do anything but I have several other places to report it to.

I am livid and believe I have PTSD because of what they did to me. They should be in jail!

Xanax is a M Fer

I totally concur with this man’s conclusions on Xanax , which I was given off label for IBS . IBS and marital difficulties were Axis or code used in the DSM which has a code for everything so it can be billed with insurance .

Xanax was deadly ; I had no idea what it was , only that my IBS calmed now somewhat . I wasn’t able to sleep 😴 which had been intensified in marriage but was life long .

When I had the chemically induced nervous breakdown , by counting the RX ; I had taken 5 Xanax per day for about 12 days .

Our eldest son , 11 years old stayed home that day from school and subjected to my induced mental state and never discussed, healed or put this horrible experience to rest .

Prescribed Drugs , especially benzodiazepines are deadly in many ways especially families.

Relationships collapse as the busyness of our world encourages us to move on ….

This is too generational , ancestral and so much information exist that just as this video exposes the reality, the truth , so must the past injustices be healed and in accepting guidance from ancestors, assurance and support are not questioned .

I have great faith in concluding old business and surrendering to creation of New Earth and my home within it as my place in this world solidifies !

I am very Thankful to my teachers , each and every one and as I rest and reenergize , I quietly celebrate with knowledge that much lie ahead .

So I rest ; using only natural supplements and methods and accept I’m long out of the illusions of the matrix that is modern human generated medicine . I remember well my life’s journey in what I consider “toxic soup” and all that it cost me and our children as it fed the shadow of a partner who wished to exit the hero and keeper of all he had amassed , especially his sons , his money and his family reputation.

Xanax brought crushing reality as I did my 17 days in a psychiatric unit … our marriage was dying , I fought to be normal for our kids but I can assure you that nothing was normal after that which took me to the place of knowing the presence of evil and knowing the presence of angelic love …, shadow had a death grip on my life as I took the entire responsibility for a mental disorder and breakdown that was Xanax induced and of course having no one grasp the opportunity for healing change . Instead I cleaved towards what he wanted and regrettably our sons experienced many abused and forced responsibilities that were not fair . Of course projected that it was my choice and my responsibility.

I failed him , by not doing my job ….

And I could not in the end accept his distorted self war that has no end …

My last realtor was a major Xanax user and as he described her death ” yep she blew her brains out ” 3 years ago .

Sadly she ignored my warnings 🙏

I suggest that anyone who wishes to quit benzodiazepines that a long period of tapering off ( decreasing the dosage is best ) I personally tried 3 days cold Turkey and it was horrific . 05

Blessings & Peace 🙏☮️

Lithium RX for Suicide not supported

A new meta-analysis of modern trials of lithium found no evidence that the drug prevents suicide or non-fatal suicidal behaviors. The study included 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing lithium to placebo or usual care for mood disorders encompassing 2578 participants. The researchers found that the difference between lithium and placebo for all suicide-related outcomes was not statistically significant.

The study was led by Joanna Moncrieff at University College London, who recently garnered media attention for a review that debunked the low serotonin (“chemical imbalance”) theory of depression.

Reached for comment via email, Moncrieff said:

“The idea that lithium prevents suicide has added to its mystique and helped propagate the idea that lithium is a highly specific and effective treatment. But it never made any sense. Lithium is a highly toxic, sedative substance. It dulls emotions, which might reduce suicidal thoughts, but we know that many psychiatric drugs have this emotion-dulling effect and yet do not reduce suicidal behavior.”

Lithium for Suicide Prevention Not Supported by Evidence

**A snap shot of my experience

with lithium

Allergic to metals which Lithium Carbonate is ; yet it did not preclude the Dr of Psychiatry from prescribing it. Complaints from me about the raging diarrhea, lethargic 14 hour sleeping days , or kidney test constantly ( already had some kidney issues )

My complaints had him switch me to Escalith ; a coated version of Lithium ! I was too ill , aware I’d been caught in a matrix of destruction.

It was the 1st RX I was prescribed for a misdiagnosis of Bipolar 1, which was trauma and domestic abuse .

13 years , I tapered off all medications in 2005/6.

Experimenting with lives is risky

An Illness, or Risky Experimentation?

By Ron Unger, LCSW

When deciding how to organize treatment for “psychosis” we face a crucial question. Should we defer to mainstream views and assume that “psychotic” experiences must be part of an illness? Or should we stay open to the possibility that the confusion and distress we witness may be resulting, not from something wrong with the brain, but from people experimenting with sometimes extreme strategies to cope with difficulties in their lives? And that possibly the confusion and distress we see is created when people experiment with strategies that may backfire in ways they do not understand at the time?

Systematic Failure of Psychiatry

Systematic Failure

By Larry Marquardt

There is really nothing unique in my story. I write to expose systematic institutional failures to address my situation and that of millions of others with any measures other than psychotropic medication. I write in concert with and in support of those advocating for a fundamental rethinking of biological psychiatry.

Nutrition & Psychiatry

Long time coming ; I was discouraged from any vitamin intake . I used natural thyroid and was prescribed Synthroid, a human made product that does not address all the Ts lost in low thyroid .

Many have lost bone mass etc with the use of prescribed psychiatric drugs that do much harm in my 13 years of personal experience and in council with many who are altered physically and mentally and spiritually by these toxic compounds .
