This man saved my life. Literally, helping me to form the 'language' I needed to stand up to my psychiatrists. I am a Survivor of 30 years of Psychiatric Abuse and I can tell you that he is a very valuable person to me. He has integrity and compassion and he is very well educated. I support him with my whole heart.
Will? You are my hero! I have been trying to get off anti-psychotic medications for 30 years. For the past 6 years the hospital took me to court and won. I am being injected against my will with anti-psychotic medications. My weight has increased. My chances of getting type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome have increased. I have no autonomy over my body. This is what happens to patients all over my town of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am being abused and the courts dont care.
@@aaymathebest4705 no you cannot. Remember schizophrenia. Is degenerative. In 1896. It was called dementia praecox. Because back then there was no meds. People are locked up in asylums. Normal and happy sometimes. Hostile and catatonic others. Eventually it lead to cognitive decline. People in their 40s. Had IQs like 30 or 40. Because it progressed. Antipsychotic medicine side effects are horrible. With schizophrenia. You have to suffer with the disease. And suffer with the medication..😧
I know the feeling. Zyprexa made me feel way worse, made me sleep 12 hours a day, gave me suicidal thoughts which I had never had before. Though my flaming b***** psychiatrist wants me back on it because she doesn't know I had suicidal thoughts and I'm sure if I told her she'd hear ka-ching and want to put me on an even higher dose. I didn't gain weight on Zyprexa, a common side effect of Zyprexa (which turns out is because I was also on fluphenazine, an antipsychotic which reduces appetite) but after being off of it for a few months, I've lost a few pounds and about 3 inches on my waist (I wasn't overfat but I wasn't underfat and still am neither), maybe even more in the future so it must have been affecting my body composition even though I was actually eating less than I am now. Antipsychotics are basically drugs sold by bigpharm to kill the competition.
It is the responsibility of doctors to use drugs in the lowest necessary dose for the least necessary time, to minimise risks from the drugs (and psychiatric drugs have many known adverse effects), The big problem is false marketing of drugs to doctors and the paradigm of prescribing multiple drugs at high dose for long periods of time (which is great for the drug companies but very bad for society). Programs to educate doctors tp reduce their drug prescribing are essential.
its disgusting how brainwashed they are, they refuse to listen to their patients when we are the experts on what these meds are doing to us. they know the bare minimum about these drugs they hand out like candy and only go by what the reps say and are so close minded . he has all these fancy degrees but is literally the most ignorant uneducated person i met. and how dare i be educated about my health and treatment.
Day 3 off them and I feel amazing and me again aside from a loss of time and headache and memory problems. I hope it’s all temporary. 🙏 was able to clean my room, put on my makeup, shower, do my dishes and read some of a book this morning. Before I couldn’t do anything.
The only help I could find to start taking less all the time only psychiatric drugs and rest being prescribed to me for making a recovery from both child birth complications and domestic violence 5 days after giving birth during those child birth complications was finding a pharmacist who was willing to work with me to reduce the amount of psychiatric drugs without the knowledge of both my violent at the time husband and without the knowledge of my psychiatrist assigned to me in hospital during discharge too only at first up until he asked me why I was looking so much healthier in his office at the time.
This was a very professional presentation, it's amazing that he was able to go through all that and connect all the dots and was able to warn others of the dangers
This is the most neutral and best advise on getting off pyschothropic drugs in TH-cam. Others are non stop accusing and thrashing the medical and pharmaceutical firms.
I met a guy who is a victim of lithium. He had ptsd and took lithium that gave him neuropathy. He can't walk well. His brain doesn't work well either. Prior to this he was athletic and held down a good job. Now he is a shell of himself. He also got diagnosed bipolar when he tried to come off it, so he had to go back on it. All he needed was trauma therapy but sadly, none were offered to him. His life has been destroyed. He had a happy childhood too and was never bipolar.
I had a similar situation happen to me. I didn’t develop neuropathy but they diagnosed me with bipolar when I never was before and they put me on Lithium
When I was on Lithium back in 1986, it caused me 2 develop psoriasis. My family insists that my psoriasis was "hereditary" bc 2 relatives of mine suffered from psoriasis but psoriasis is a very known negative effect from Lithium usage. Besides; the manner in how psych meds work, I'm better off drinking beer. Same effect on the brain but alcohol (the "by-product" of beer) leaves ur system much quicker (& tastes much better also (beer, that is; not necessarily the alcohol).
It's even worse incarcerated in "hospitals", where psychiatrists give you maximum 30 seconds of their time (and bill insurance for 45 minutes). I had such horrible side effects from high doses of multiple antipsychotics that I was simply unable to walk, had severe tremors and one night was all but totally paralyzed. ..i truly thought I was on my way out in this life. Simply unconscionable how those psychiatrists deny this is happening as a result of their not listening, nor observing...There's no accountability when thing go wrong. If you don't advocate for yourself, you won't make it. Like you say, everyone's story is unique.
+PEERS Oakland, CA love many, trust few. and paddle your own canoe...hard, really hard alone though. they'll try to convince you're crazy.That's why peer support is, well, almost critical for survival. thanks for your comment. sacto isn't too far from oakland, peers!
I was injected after refusing pills, I was crawling around on the floor, so sedated, it was the single worst thing that has ever happened to me, so eventually they changed it to an injection with less side effects, I want to go onto pills now
Jodie Doyle yes This is a money making business of which we are enslaved. Bipolar has higher insurance and all the salaries paid while being treated like a social scapegoat. Look up one drug called Abilify made 8 billion dollars USA d$ so very lucrative money mob that society paying their money and police immunity to protect their own decisions to exploit normal human being s trauma s usually the unaware and injustice and complete lack of Ethics.
Great to see this conversation happening. After forty five years of psych meds, I'm a lifer. I found out in 2018, after three hospitalizations (following three attempts) and over a dozen psych mds, that benzo withdrawl is not being taught in the medical profession. I found no professional resources in this country for this life threatening condition. Fortunately, my meds work for me and self care is my #1 priority. Prozac actually saved my life. It was a wonder drug and I'm still on it. It was as if all the lose ends of so many thoughts coalesced and I could finally focus. I began to live! I can only have faith that I will always have access to them. This is the first I'm learning that I was suffering from a specific side effect called akenesia. Not sure if I'm spelling it correctly.
In some cases it's easy to come off medication as,mean like in severe depression medication needs to stop and it's the demand of illness ...because depression is same like headache....
I am from Brazil. I loved your talk, downloaded your guide and have started reading it. I want to thank you very, very much. I already feel more empowered to talk to my psychiatrist . Keep on your good job.
This is awareness that we have and I live in Lethbridge Alberta Canada and have suffered under terror by psychiatric abuse and injustice and forced by CTO community treatment disorders based on non compliance arrested and given a drug called Clopixel which is illegal in USA Russia when I finally chose to try EMDR and councillor for severe PTSD symptoms and instead death sentence disease called Bipolar and 25 yrs sentence and I need support taking this to trial and I cannot believe how much damage trauma caused by this. CTO forced treatment was daily and constant labeling and a slave to being treated like a criminal or something different exploited as poor person s used med experiment s so thanks for your support for your kindness and information and I suffer PTSD trauma which symptoms trauma s being forced to take meds that are extremely dangerous like 1958 drug called Haldol.
I have been on & off 150XL Welbutrin for short stints in the last couple years. Going off for good now. My inner voice is telling me to ditch the drugs & do the things I know are good for my health. I was only taking it for 2 weeks this time & it made me feel awful so I quit 2 days ago-cold turkey. I'm hoping there won't be withdrawals. I also don't judge those who need the drugs, I just think, for me, there has to be a better way.
Thank you, Will! I clicked on this looking for a way to help a young relative to come off anti-depressants. Your advice is powerful but also gentle and sensitive. Quite briilliant.
The drugs work very well short term. Their efficacy lessen with time and eventually you would want to quit something that no longer works. And the terrible side effects of the psychiatry drugs would also make you want to quit. And then you would become very surprised because your doctor who prescribed them can't help you quit.🤯
Just a thought from me - These 6 steps can be applied even before you start with the medications (drugs), and prevent you from even starting with them because those steps are actually EVERYTHING everyone needs to be okay and feel better if they are ill... :) I regret I ever started with the medications because of all the side-effects I have experienced and now the awful withdrawal effects, I really wish my doctor told me about these alternatives I learned from this video, before putting me on SSRI and mood-controlling pills. I think that we all go to our doctors to get that kind of support instead of just a prescription and no moral and emotional support at all. Sport is a really good thing too, because it helps you balance the chemicals in your body, and getting a dog is one of the best choices I made in my way of beating anxiety and depression. :) Good luck everybody!
Saffron is scientifically proven to treat depression better than medications but, vulnerable adults get trapped into a corrupt system of medications that cause severe and irreversible harm. There is a thing called cruelty and that is what doctors inflict when they prescibe these medications. All antipsycotics should be banned and natural plants should be available rather than antidepressants. Doctors should also be held to account for human rights violations.
Totally agree. These doctors sit there and prescribe concoctions of meds not knowing precisely how they interact but if they do interact, no harm done, try these two instead. I'd love to see these doctors take the meds themselves for any length of time. It's a horrible horrible system. There's no cure or end zone in sight - they just happily proceed to dose us all up. I've had confrontations with my doctors a few times. I quit meds without advise which was bad idea and they told me so after. But the lithium just dulls me, holds me back. I know I have a deep energy within that's detrimentally being suppressed.
I’ve been on Paxil for over 20 years and when I went off them in 2016 I was fine for a year and a half . Then in 2018 my mother died and my anxiety hit the roof. I have been struggling ever since. (Although easing over time)The point you brought up about some taking years to come off is encouraging.
I found cognitive behavioural therapy orCBT very effective for treating my depression and anxiety. I also ate healthier food. Supplemented and exercised regularly. CBT is great. I wish you all the best.
Prozac is easier to come off . I was on it years ago for a very short time no withdrawal or side effects but Zoloft omg I'm struggling with Tapering off the smallest dose . I took it for panic attacks but they are coming back so don't know what to do .
I came off some of my psych drugs with the help of my doctor who actually listen to me I went off by 10 percent at time it took a few month I feel a lot better I I hear voices I rather live with them then be comatose and not be able to function I can run around and play with my grandchildren for the first time in years so if you're going to go on them please read the side effects first and learn what they will do to your

im off antipsychotics for 8 month now and im doing good , im the first period i got some help from CBD oil but now i stopped everything best luck for all
@@mohansinghrajput1504 I have schizophrenia. And stop taking asenapine. Over a year ago. Because I don't like the side effects. Sedation anesthesia. My life is a living hell. I truly hate antipsychotics. If I don't start taking them. I'm not going to make it.🙃🤤
Maybe he never had schizophrenia they were treating his withdrawal symptoms that’s mimic all these diagnosis. So you can fall under any of these DSM diagnosis they base it all on symptoms
There is no living hell like that of getting off benzodiazepines. Now, I’m dealing with getting off the Seroquel I was given for the benzo withdrawal insomnia but it shouldn’t be anywhere near as bad. I’m looking forward to being free from the bondage of big pharma.
Well done Ken, I can truly relate I was a heroin,crack,methadone and benzo addict for 15yrs and then got a 5yr jail sentence, yep I was living in hell and Satan himself was in my jail cell many time's it was a time in my life i will never forget, I have now been clean for 20yrs and trust me when I say they have been the best 20yrs of my life.. it's gna be tough Ken but I know you can do this so if I've got faith in you, find that faith within yourself and tell Satan to stand behind you because you are not living in hell anymore. It's your life Ken don't let the devil take it away hold your head up high and be strong 💪 hope this helps brother 🙏 May God bless you and your family much love.😇
@@D3FQON-ON3 Thank you so much. God is helping me get through this and I’m feeling better than I ever thought I would at this point, 6 months out from the last benzo. I am truly one of the lucky ones. God bless you too.
Be strong! I will pray for you. Try eating Gumbo/Okra/OKRO...it is a very powerful fruit! Full of B vitamins ...very important to heal the brain. I am not a doctor .please consult a doctor and do your own research! 🙏🙏🙏😘
That's true, people's bodies react differently. I get sleepy after a cup of morning coffee☕ but I can't sleep at night if I have coffee after 3 in the evening. Nobody ever researched about that.😆
It's really important to be able to talk openly about treatments..individual differences need to be acknowledged and accommodated..it's not one size .fits all..to do so is stereotyping behavior, a form of stigmatizing
I downloaded Will Hall's free guide Harm Reduction Guide to Coming Off Psychiatric Drugs and Withdrawal.Thank you for the hard work. It's a shame it didn't come out on Google's first page when I searched for keywords like how to taper off Depakote, Risperidone, etc.
I'm actually coming off Prozac and Wellbutrin but switching to Zoloft due to not being able to handle the withdrawals. Edibles are easing symptoms. I'm going to look for this guide. I like how drs refuse to acknowledge withdrawals n tone it down by calling them discontinuation syndrome
So desperatly wanting of Seroquel XR! I am in my second pregnancy and it has caused me to have gestational diabetes and am now prediabetic as well. I eat a low carb diet to control it, but it's getting harder to keep blood sugars down even though I am not overwright. I had akesthesia for three years while on Latuda. Wanting to finally be healthy without meds.
My wife was depressed so her family forced her to take go to a pych doctor or doctor for help and he give her pills as the only way well 5 months later she was 150 pounds bigger. that depressed her more,. then ever.,
The same happened to my sister eight years younger than me. After she had survived domestic abuse, eposure to occupational health hazards while welding at work, living in only a holiday trailer in the desert on an acereage without an adequate water supply at first and for awhle no adequate roof too and then after she had survived being tasered more than once too while she was living in a foreign nation going through an ugly divorce with infant children invovled only because she could not afford to pay for her property taxes at the time. I tried to make it clear to her that none of the drugs which had been prescribed to me helped at all while warning her and my siblings about that and about her submitting to another wholly unecessary drug that was prescribed to her as well only because she was female while the number of drugs being prescribed to her were increasing not becoming less in number is probable going to be for the most part not helpful to her as well. It all fell on deaf ears until she got Cancer and then died. Developing Cancer is more probable when being exposed to physical stressors including foreign substances in the body. None of the real causal factors as to why my sister was not well was being acknowledged. Instead all of the professionals concerned were onlly interested in calling her Schizophrenic. Well who wouldn't have shown the set of signs and symptoms some professionals call being Schizophrenic from time to time while going through things like starvation while trying to breast feed and then heat exhaustion, heat stroke, extreme intimidation tactics, getting tasered more than once, etc.
I was having acathisia for very long period of time and no doctor was listening to me too. I was told that I should accept more my fear, but I was enraged inside, couldnt sleep and jumping out of my body. This was so frustrating.
@tyrel It was SSRI drugs. Any of them after a period of about 2 months would give me mood swings. One of the moods was severe acathysia that lasted for about a day or so. I was struggling with side effects some time after I stop taking them - about 6 months. But less and less. Until it stopped. Hope you will be able to do that too.
@@Afura33 Yes. After I stopped taking SSRI. It took me a while to stop(very slowly), and then I suffered side effects for a few months. After that its ok.
This kind of material should be collaborated with Dr. Abram Hoffer's Nutritional Program that deals with treating schizophrenia from a nutritional standpoint, not eliminating medications, but putting them into their proper use, a short-term solution until the nutritional elements are working enough to come off them. Does anyone have any understanding or knowledge that they can synthesize regarding these matters?
SF,CA: where no official authority cares that the many old buildings usually have high levels of toxic mold, which cause multiple mental and physical problems. You become someone completely different.
I was taking a THC tincture to compensate for an anandamide dysfunction. I created a knock-off no-cbd Sativex. Helped treat M.S. related muscle spasticity. Found out how to get the body to make more anandamide via improved lipid signaling (via gut bacteria shifts and diet) and now I am no longer suffering and don't need the drug. Makes me wonder what alcohol is compensating for.
sleeping was impossible for me last time i stopped. i had the constant feeling like i had to pee every twenty minutes every night and just a little would come out. going through that for three months sleeeping in 20 minute intervals was going to kill me if i didnt didnt do something. the only tools i had at the time was to reenstate my meds and had no idea that when i went back to my original dose that was tne worst thing to do.
that was a really good workshop im sorry for the comment i made earlier im in withdrawel at the moment and not feeling very good but i feel better now after listening t o the workshop also knowing im doing it the right way for me. cutting a quarter of a pill at a time. i got off olanzapine first now its the queitiapine. thanks very much will.
@@LindsayAlexandra89 yes I was first on olanzapine then went to quietipine which affects lower receptors. It was the worst thing Iv ever experienced in my life I think I’m now 4 years off them.thank god. I found the withdraws worse than the reason I was put on them. My heart goes out to anyone trying to get off them, are you on them.
@@hippyheads thank you. I was put on it because I initially had started having panic attacks in bed and then couldn't sleep... I went from 150mg to now, 25mg. When I go off, I don't sleep at all and have horrible restlessness and anxiety and feel so bad the following day. Any advice? I want to taper down further from 25mg to 0. As of now, I've been using melatonin and magnesium at night to help me with my lower dosage. I've been on seroquel about 2.5 years now as a reference.
@@LindsayAlexandra89 what worked for me was getting it in liquid form and just cutting down by 2 little lines on the syringe. I did this for two weeks. If I didn’t get the jitters and horrific fears I knew it was the time to cut down Again by the same amount for another 2 weeks. The mornings for me when I. Woke up we’re always horrible as I had what I call, loops of fear as the day went on it got slightly better. Your doing so well with your cutting down. The slower the better as your body won’t miss those little digits on the syringe as much as it will by halfing the dose which is what I did the first few times it was so unbearable I had to go back on them again. It’s disgraceful that a doctor gave you those medications for lack of sleep and panic attacks. Of course Iv heard that they get paid for giving these meds to their patients.keep on cutting down but do try to get it in liquid as it’s so much easier to cut down on small measured increments.and it’s easier to make the exact cut.
@@hippyheads thank you so much. I didn't know that you could get luquid form. That's my whole problem, no sleep without it. I'm surprised you could sleep at all. Did it disturb your sleep at all while getting off of it and cutting down dosage? Thank you so much by the way!
Does anyone have any advice for coming off clozapine? My psychiatrist and I both decided after 8 years it was time to reduce (gradually) from 175mg to nothing from March-November. We did it very slowly and looked out for any symptoms. Nothing happened until I finished my final dose where my sleep was taken away. I've been struggling with insomnia since and it's been about 3 months. I used to sleep 10 hours on this med, for 8 years, since it was so sedating. I think my mind is just adapting to not having it, but it's scary when you wake up all night and you don't feel rested. I have not had any psychosis or anything (it was thought I was misdiagnosed, I was in the hospital 8 weeks and they were unaware of exactly what I had). I am seeing a sleep specialist finally tomorrow but would love any tips!!!
I should also mention that I was on 175mg for a while, which is relatively lower than some people's dosages. However, the long term effects of this drug are scary and if I do not need to be on it the rest of my life, I wanted to at least try to come off it and see how my body would react. I had one psychosis symptom which is what landed me in the hospital to begin with, but after coming out of the hospital on this drug and on lithium, I was able to return to usual life. I did not have ANY other episodes or symptoms. I've always had anxiety, which I still dealt with, but like I said the main symptom of coming off this is insomnia and feeling spacey throughout the day. I am praying it is simply withdrawal and that it will pass.
I was vegan for 6 year and it made my bipolar worst. I ended up loosing 7 jobs and collecting disability. I switched to carnivore and no longer experiencing symptoms, off disability and happier
Just for argument's sake, I have asked my phyc a large number of times about coming off of these meds and they've always SIDE STEP the issue. God, you should have seen the look on her face. "Good question!" I tried coming of them cold turkey and it was holy hell. To me, its entrapment and im not free to do or go where i see fit in peace. These doctors have clinics to keep me on them and have made several phone calls to find a clinic to get me off. Basically, its about their wallet and never about what I want. Im in a constant state of withdrawals and thats not my idea of help! Drug rehabs, no we dont do that...Phyc wards, no such place exists unless they can shove a pill down you throat. This i have to say is intentional on every level. I am no better off on them, than i was before. These phyc meds are supposed to blase the way to recovery but its less costly to say thats all there is to recovery. The industry is conditioned to say youll be on them for the rest of your life and i believe thats so far from the truth.
You were wearing the Matrix suit to work? Why would they fire you;)??)) I've never been on any prescription drugs, even though sometimes I've had depressions and pretty severe ones. Though it's off topic, my suggestion is to learn and get used to nonviolent communication with yourself. As soon as I changed my inner programming, removed all the judgements, self deprecation, comparisons to others, social pressure etc.. the chemicals in my body followed. Now I simply won't react the same way to problems as I used to. From my research, I find that it's the practice which if not completely cures, but greatly alleviates psychiatric problems for most people.
Anyone using magic truffles as alternative medicine to heal anxiety and depression ? It helped me a lot especially with chronic fatigue and muscle pain from panic attack induced anxiety
I do agree when you’ve been on psychotic drugs for a long time that you need to slowly wean off I was on psychiatric drugs since I was in my 20s now in my 60s been on every drug imaginable nothing worked but I kept thinking one of these drugs are gonna make me better. I have to stay on them or I’m gonna get worse that was my mindset for all them years and then I had enoughand I started slowly taper off not a year but months I got my self back again which now I do take vitamins I do do herbs I eat, right I exercise one of the worst things anybody could ever put you on it’ll make you crazy as a bedbug
i knew a lady in the pscyh hospital she had a bad heart she could not take pscyh meds so they told me they can not discharge her because she cant take psych meds because of her bad heart so they keep her there for the rest of her life this should be illegal
Hi! I really enjoyed this workshop video. You mentioned some different alternatives, instead of taking another pill. I was put on Cymbalta ten years ago, for depression/anxiety disorder. I recently realized that Doctors' had decided to keep me on Cymbalta far life. I think that Doctors' and Drug Companies are doing this for the sole purpose of making money. Plus, turning us, humans' into mice, that are going round and around, with no exit in sight. A very frightening idea. May God Bless you!!!!
+Superdelta000 Obviously you never tried to quit Cymbalta, hint it ends in tears, if your lucky. they need to force the company to pay to help the victims off that poison. I nearly died twice trying to kick that drug out. many don't survive. I mean they die! usually suicide. it's no fucking joke.
@@richardscathouse I believe you because I had numerous suicide attempts when. I was cutting down. I got my medication in liquid for and it’s easier than cutting bits of the pills. It took me 2 years to cut down that way. But it was still vert frightening
medications are not good for our body, organs. They contribute to other problems. I was withdraw each month by psych/nurse, not knowing she never said; Divaploex has side affects is addictive. Been on since late in life. always stable. never depressed. when on 125 mg daily this is after 11 months I was fine then I was unstable on my feet my extremities were tingling hurting. I found it hard to eat as before because my feet hurt. I phoned police knowing if I didn't get out of my apartment was in new area knew no one. I would die. I hadn't eaten in over 2 weeks three meals, not because I didn't want to I did make my self eat soup daily that is not enough. They found me B 12 deficient B 6 and mildly anemia. no other testing. I also diagnose late in life hypo thyroid. No I am getting nutritional deficient testing. I build up my immune system eat organic and exercise walking I sleep well always do. I believe I can come off but slower. With two people checking in on me when it is 250 or so daily. calling and when I sense something have them come to make sure I eat well. I will make sure all deficiencies are not any more first.
If there was a consent form for the side-effects or some system that monitored side-effects so no human has to suffer . Like a real structured protocol like- here is this drug , it will help in this , it can harm this , take your time to decide , sign a convent form if you want to try the drug , start with a trial , and call them back in , give them a checklist to see what it helps in them and what it harms , then decide with the doctor and others , and then cycle repeat …. Imagine how this honest to goodness approach will SAVE so many lives . INSTEAD here’s the drug and drugs , here’s the dose - usually high and higher and higher , nahhh no side-effects really happen , oh really?!? , some people’s life magically improves - woohooooo ; some people dying at home unable to get out of bed and shower and getting suicidal and eventually vomiting suicide . PS the drugs SHOU/led be given after taking labs -- but wonderfully with psychotropic drugs there are NO labs being done , it’s all hypothesis of what could be happening in the brain -- and here are the drugs that will fix the brain . Period . Don’t question the King and Queen Psychiatrist and Doctor .
I am looking for some advice. Im 4 months off invega sustenna which has a long withdrawal. Im also on zopiclone but i want to get off off. Should i wait for the withdrawal to end before coming off zopiclone. Thanks
Taking fluvoxamine since last 5 years. Earlier I used to take Fluvoxetine since I was 7. I am trying to taper off Fluvoxamine 50mg. I successfully did it from 200 to 50 in last 2 years. Now the things are getting harder. The problem is that I can't get fluvoxamine in liquid form. It's not available in 25mg or lower doses either. Does this work if i try removing 6.25 every month ( i need to cut the pill into 8 pieces). I am really scared because I tried 50 to 0 in last 3 months before and failed. This time I am fixing 8 months for tapering for 50 to 0. Please advise if I can try any other method. Can I soak it in liquid myself and do that liquid tapering. I thought it is too complex and might be dangerous as well. Does going 6.25 off every month sounds doable? Please help.
Vito Sorel research natural alternatives, 75% of the gen. Population are deficient in magnesium or "the natural chill pill", it greatly reduces anxiety. Schizophrenics produce too much adrenaline which isn't even treated with neuroleptics. Baking soda reduces adrenaline! Schizophrenics are deficient in several vitamins such as vitamin D and there are several neuroprotectives supplements which can improve schizophrenia. You don't have to hear voices! Eat right, exercise, take vitamins and supplements and maintain an optimistic outlook at all costs. 10% of schizophrenics commit suicide, don't become a statistic! Benefit humanity!
Looking for advice on coming off 250 mg of Depakote and 200 mg of Clozapine. Having extreme physical pain (chopping/stabbing-like feeling on different parts of the body), that comes and goes. Not sure what is causing the pain.
I am trying to get off of 0.75 klonopin but I can't sleep.....what can I take for sleep that is healthy....my doctor wants me to go on vistral but I am 76 and I don't think it is a safe drug. I have tried Benadryl and it makes me sick...and so does Melatonin.....HELP???
Have you tried non-caffeinated herbal tea? The ritual of making the tea itself can be therapeutic. Drinking it in sips promotes mindfulness which brings you into body/mind balance. And then, of course, the natural properties within the tea itself provides a soothing effect that aids in sleep.
I have had like 10-20 happy moments in last 13 years..since Corona been somewhat better?... I feel better just seeing online for 20 minutes a week. I actually find the in between staff to psychaitrist more troubling... At least with psychiatrist u know there's some education they have gone thru rigirously especially in somewhat reputed hospitals...but religious hospitals were always negative....despite their insistentce they are not.
My psychiatrist is taking me off injection but my family doctor wants to put me on pills. She didnt give me a timeline just that she wants to put me on the pills.. I'm afraid she will try to prescribe them to me forever

@mikeodee1164 15 minutes ago (edited) too many psychiatrist lie to people with mentall illness many mentally ill people never needed psych meds and they are being forced to take it which should be illegal my father was shizophrenic he never took psych meds he never needed he worked painting housess all his life he was never in a psych hospital and he was never in jail he behaved one hundred times better compared to many so called normal people many mentally ill people are forced to go to the psych hospital and take dangerous psych meds they never needed in order to get government housing this should be illegal its extremely wrong
Hi there, I trust you all guys are doing fantastic. I have been off of the antidepressant and benzo since 3 years. I have still the anti-psychotic Amisulprid 100mg that I so freaking would love to completely get rid of. Any idea how I could contact Will Hall? I want to live a normal life and I know I have a mission and a purpose to still fulfill. Sending everyone blessings.
This man saved my life. Literally, helping me to form the 'language' I needed to stand up to my psychiatrists. I am a Survivor of 30 years of Psychiatric Abuse and I can tell you that he is a very valuable person to me. He has integrity and compassion and he is very well educated. I support him with my whole heart.

Remember schizophrenia. Is degenerative. In 1896. It was called dementia praecox. Because back then there was no meds. People are locked up in asylums. Normal and happy sometimes. Hostile and catatonic others. Eventually it lead to cognitive decline. People in their 40s. Had IQs like 30 or 40. Because it progressed. Antipsychotic medicine side effects are horrible. With schizophrenia. You have to suffer with the disease. And suffer with the medication..😧

Allan Parsons stop being an ass and trying to be funny, mental health is a serious issue we don't need idiots like you on here poking fun.
I know the feeling. Zyprexa made me feel way worse, made me sleep 12 hours a day, gave me suicidal thoughts which I had never had before. Though my flaming b***** psychiatrist wants me back on it because she doesn't know I had suicidal thoughts and I'm sure if I told her she'd hear ka-ching and want to put me on an even higher dose.
I didn't gain weight on Zyprexa, a common side effect of Zyprexa (which turns out is because I was also on fluphenazine, an antipsychotic which reduces appetite) but after being off of it for a few months, I've lost a few pounds and about 3 inches on my waist (I wasn't overfat but I wasn't underfat and still am neither), maybe even more in the future so it must have been affecting my body composition even though I was actually eating less than I am now.
Antipsychotics are basically drugs sold by bigpharm to kill the competition.
Loi P how long did it take you to get off it
This video is amazing, so educational and empathetic. We need more of this in the world!
It is the responsibility of doctors to use drugs in the lowest necessary dose for the least necessary time, to minimise risks from the drugs (and psychiatric drugs have many known adverse effects), The big problem is false marketing of drugs to doctors and the paradigm of prescribing multiple drugs at high dose for long periods of time (which is great for the drug companies but very bad for society). Programs to educate doctors tp reduce their drug prescribing are essential.
its disgusting how brainwashed they are, they refuse to listen to their patients when we are the experts on what these meds are doing to us. they know the bare minimum about these drugs they hand out like candy and only go by what the reps say and are so close minded . he has all these fancy degrees but is literally the most ignorant uneducated person i met. and how dare i be educated about my health and treatment.

The only help I could find to start taking less all the time only psychiatric drugs and rest being prescribed to me for making a recovery from both child birth complications and domestic violence 5 days after giving birth during those child birth complications was finding a pharmacist who was willing to work with me to reduce the amount of psychiatric drugs without the knowledge of both my violent at the time husband and without the knowledge of my psychiatrist assigned to me in hospital during discharge too only at first up until he asked me why I was looking so much healthier in his office at the time.
This was a very professional presentation, it's amazing that he was able to go through all that and connect all the dots and was able to warn others of the dangers
This is the most neutral and best advise on getting off pyschothropic drugs in TH-cam. Others are non stop accusing and thrashing the medical and pharmaceutical firms.

I met a guy who is a victim of lithium. He had ptsd and took lithium that gave him neuropathy. He can't walk well. His brain doesn't work well either. Prior to this he was athletic and held down a good job. Now he is a shell of himself. He also got diagnosed bipolar when he tried to come off it, so he had to go back on it. All he needed was trauma therapy but sadly, none were offered to him. His life has been destroyed. He had a happy childhood too and was never bipolar.
I had a similar situation happen to me. I didn’t develop neuropathy but they diagnosed me with bipolar when I never was before and they put me on Lithium
@@prestonmartin2024 That’s really unfortunate. I hope you’re okay.
When I was on Lithium back in 1986, it caused me 2 develop psoriasis. My family insists that my psoriasis was "hereditary" bc 2 relatives of mine suffered from psoriasis but psoriasis is a very known negative effect from Lithium usage. Besides; the manner in how psych meds work, I'm better off drinking beer. Same effect on the brain but alcohol (the "by-product" of beer) leaves ur system much quicker (& tastes much better also (beer, that is; not necessarily the alcohol).
There are many stories like this. Think about all the kids that have been drugged.
Iatrogenic menticide!
It's even worse incarcerated in "hospitals", where psychiatrists give you maximum 30 seconds of their time (and bill insurance for 45 minutes). I had such horrible side effects from high doses of multiple antipsychotics that I was simply unable to walk, had severe tremors and one night was all but totally paralyzed. ..i truly thought I was on my way out in this life. Simply unconscionable how those psychiatrists deny this is happening as a result of their not listening, nor observing...There's no accountability when thing go wrong. If you don't advocate for yourself, you won't make it. Like you say, everyone's story is unique.
+Jodie Doyle thank you for sharing your story with us and for encouraging others to advocate for themselves.

I was injected after refusing pills, I was crawling around on the floor, so sedated, it was the single worst thing that has ever happened to me, so eventually they changed it to an injection with less side effects, I want to go onto pills now
Jodie Doyle yes This is a money making business of which we are enslaved. Bipolar has higher insurance and all the salaries paid while being treated like a social scapegoat. Look up one drug called Abilify made 8 billion dollars USA d$ so very lucrative money mob that society paying their money and police immunity to protect their own decisions to exploit normal human being s trauma s usually the unaware and injustice and complete lack of Ethics.
Incarceration in a "hospital" without due process is unconstitutional, but you won't hear that from anyone in power.
Great to see this conversation happening. After forty five years of psych meds, I'm a lifer. I found out in 2018, after three hospitalizations (following three attempts) and over a dozen psych mds, that benzo withdrawl is not being taught in the medical profession. I found no professional resources in this country for this life threatening condition. Fortunately, my meds work for me and self care is my #1 priority. Prozac actually saved my life. It was a wonder drug and I'm still on it. It was as if all the lose ends of so many thoughts coalesced and I could finally focus. I began to live! I can only have faith that I will always have access to them.
This is the first I'm learning that I was suffering from a specific side effect called akenesia. Not sure if I'm spelling it correctly.

I have been on & off 150XL Welbutrin for short stints in the last couple years. Going off for good now. My inner voice is telling me to ditch the drugs & do the things I know are good for my health. I was only taking it for 2 weeks this time & it made me feel awful so I quit 2 days ago-cold turkey. I'm hoping there won't be withdrawals. I also don't judge those who need the drugs, I just think, for me, there has to be a better way.
Thank you, Will! I clicked on this looking for a way to help a young relative to come off anti-depressants. Your advice is powerful but also gentle and sensitive. Quite briilliant.
The drugs work very well short term. Their efficacy lessen with time and eventually you would want to quit something that no longer works. And the terrible side effects of the psychiatry drugs would also make you want to quit. And then you would become very surprised because your doctor who prescribed them can't help you quit.🤯
Keeping up the VICTORY good Healings work so far.
Just a thought from me - These 6 steps can be applied even before you start with the medications (drugs), and prevent you from even starting with them because those steps are actually EVERYTHING everyone needs to be okay and feel better if they are ill... :)
I regret I ever started with the medications because of all the side-effects I have experienced and now the awful withdrawal effects, I really wish my doctor told me about these alternatives I learned from this video, before putting me on SSRI and mood-controlling pills. I think that we all go to our doctors to get that kind of support instead of just a prescription and no moral and emotional support at all.
Sport is a really good thing too, because it helps you balance the chemicals in your body, and getting a dog is one of the best choices I made in my way of beating anxiety and depression. :)
Good luck everybody!
Where are the ways?
Saffron is scientifically proven to treat depression better than medications but, vulnerable adults get trapped into a corrupt system of medications that cause severe and irreversible harm. There is a thing called cruelty and that is what doctors inflict when they prescibe these medications. All antipsycotics should be banned and natural plants should be available rather than antidepressants. Doctors should also be held to account for human rights violations.
Totally agree. These doctors sit there and prescribe concoctions of meds not knowing precisely how they interact but if they do interact, no harm done, try these two instead. I'd love to see these doctors take the meds themselves for any length of time. It's a horrible horrible system. There's no cure or end zone in sight - they just happily proceed to dose us all up. I've had confrontations with my doctors a few times. I quit meds without advise which was bad idea and they told me so after. But the lithium just dulls me, holds me back. I know I have a deep energy within that's detrimentally being suppressed.
Jam Christa i agree with you
not only plants... but exercise... sometimes people need others to encourage...
I don't want to get hooked on saffron it would cost me a fortune
Did you try saffron yourself?
I’ve been on Paxil for over 20 years and when I went off them in 2016 I was fine for a year and a half . Then in 2018 my mother died and my anxiety hit the roof. I have been struggling ever since.

The same happened to my sister eight years younger than me. After she had survived domestic abuse, eposure to occupational health hazards while welding at work, living in only a holiday trailer in the desert on an acereage without an adequate water supply at first and for awhle no adequate roof too and then after she had survived being tasered more than once too while she was living in a foreign nation going through an ugly divorce with infant children invovled only because she could not afford to pay for her property taxes at the time. I tried to make it clear to her that none of the drugs which had been prescribed to me helped at all while warning her and my siblings about that and about her submitting to another wholly unecessary drug that was prescribed to her as well only because she was female while the number of drugs being prescribed to her were increasing not becoming less in number is probable going to be for the most part not helpful to her as well. It all fell on deaf ears until she got Cancer and then died. Developing Cancer is more probable when being exposed to physical stressors including foreign substances in the body. None of the real causal factors as to why my sister was not well was being acknowledged. Instead all of the professionals concerned were onlly interested in calling her Schizophrenic. Well who wouldn't have shown the set of signs and symptoms some professionals call being Schizophrenic from time to time while going through things like starvation while trying to breast feed and then heat exhaustion, heat stroke, extreme intimidation tactics, getting tasered more than once, etc.

Did your acasthisia go away? A lot of doctors are unfortunately lacking empathy.
I had akathisia too. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it), I had a seizure on that medication so they took me off.
Can I contact you?
@tyrel It was SSRI drugs. Any of them after a period of about 2 months would give me mood swings. One of the moods was severe acathysia that lasted for about a day or so.
I was struggling with side effects some time after I stop taking them - about 6 months. But less and less. Until it stopped. Hope you will be able to do that too.

This kind of material should be collaborated with Dr. Abram Hoffer's Nutritional Program that deals with treating schizophrenia from a nutritional standpoint, not eliminating medications, but putting them into their proper use, a short-term solution until the nutritional elements are working enough to come off them. Does anyone have any understanding or knowledge that they can synthesize regarding these matters?

My heart goes out to anyone trying to get off them, are you on them.
@@hippyheads thank you. I was put on it because I initially had started having panic attacks in bed and then couldn't sleep... I went from 150mg to now, 25mg. When I go off, I don't sleep at all and have horrible restlessness and anxiety and feel so bad the following day. Any advice? I want to taper down further from 25mg to 0. As of now, I've been using melatonin and magnesium at night to help me with my lower dosage. I've been on seroquel about 2.5 years now as a reference.
@@LindsayAlexandra89 what worked for me was getting it in liquid form and just cutting down by 2 little lines on the syringe. I did this for two weeks. If I didn’t get the jitters and horrific fears I knew it was the time to cut down Again by the same amount for another 2 weeks. The mornings for me when I. Woke up we’re always horrible as I had what I call, loops of fear as the day went on it got slightly better. Your doing so well with your cutting down. The slower the better as your body won’t miss those little digits on the syringe as much as it will by halfing the dose which is what I did the first few times it was so unbearable I had to go back on them again. It’s disgraceful that a doctor gave you those medications for lack of sleep and panic attacks. Of course Iv heard that they get paid for giving these meds to their patients.keep on cutting down but do try to get it in liquid as it’s so much easier to cut down on small measured increments.and it’s easier to make the exact cut.
@@hippyheads thank you so much. I didn't know that you could get luquid form. That's my whole problem, no sleep without it. I'm surprised you could sleep at all. Did it disturb your sleep at all while getting off of it and cutting down dosage? Thank you so much by the way!

Has anyone gone through withdrawals
Does anyone have any advice for coming off clozapine? My psychiatrist and I both decided after 8 years it was time to reduce (gradually) from 175mg to nothing from March-November. We did it very slowly and looked out for any symptoms. Nothing happened until I finished my final dose where my sleep was taken away. I've been struggling with insomnia since and it's been about 3 months. I used to sleep 10 hours on this med, for 8 years, since it was so sedating. I think my mind is just adapting to not having it, but it's scary when you wake up all night and you don't feel rested. I have not had any psychosis or anything (it was thought I was misdiagnosed, I was in the hospital 8 weeks and they were unaware of exactly what I had). I am seeing a sleep specialist finally tomorrow but would love any tips!!!
I should also mention that I was on 175mg for a while, which is relatively lower than some people's dosages. However, the long term effects of this drug are scary and if I do not need to be on it the rest of my life, I wanted to at least try to come off it and see how my body would react. I had one psychosis symptom which is what landed me in the hospital to begin with, but after coming out of the hospital on this drug and on lithium, I was able to return to usual life. I did not have ANY other episodes or symptoms. I've always had anxiety, which I still dealt with, but like I said the main symptom of coming off this is insomnia and feeling spacey throughout the day. I am praying it is simply withdrawal and that it will pass.

Just for argument's sake, I have asked my phyc a large number of times about coming off of these meds and they've always SIDE STEP the issue. God, you should have seen the look on her face. "Good question!"
I tried coming of them cold turkey and it was holy hell. To me, its entrapment and im not free to do or go where i see fit in peace. These doctors have clinics to keep me on them and have made several phone calls to find a clinic to get me off. Basically, its about their wallet and never about what I want. Im in a constant state of withdrawals and thats not my idea of help!
Drug rehabs, no we dont do that...Phyc wards, no such place exists unless they can shove a pill down you throat. This i have to say is intentional on every level. I am no better off on them, than i was before. These phyc meds are supposed to blase the way to recovery but its less costly to say thats all there is to recovery. The industry is conditioned to say youll be on them for the rest of your life and i believe thats so far from the truth.
You were wearing the Matrix suit to work? Why would they fire you;)??))
I've never been on any prescription drugs, even though sometimes I've had depressions and pretty severe ones. Though it's off topic, my suggestion is to learn and get used to nonviolent communication with yourself.
As soon as I changed my inner programming, removed all the judgements, self deprecation, comparisons to others, social pressure etc.. the chemicals in my body followed. Now I simply won't react the same way to problems as I used to.
From my research, I find that it's the practice which if not completely cures, but greatly alleviates psychiatric problems for most people.
Diana Luckysova I absolutely agree with you! Before coming off Effexor I also did a huge work on. my inner programming.
Anyone using magic truffles as alternative medicine to heal anxiety and depression ? It helped me a lot especially with chronic fatigue and muscle pain from panic attack induced anxiety
Im thinking about it after 15 years of Effexor. What did you use? Im thinking about psilocybin
If the drugs are so marvelous, what's the harm in regular people discussing them amongst themselves?
I do agree when you’ve been on psychotic drugs for a long time that you need to slowly wean off I was on psychiatric drugs since I was in my 20s now in my 60s been on every drug imaginable nothing worked but I kept thinking one of these drugs are gonna make me better. I have to stay on them or I’m gonna get worse that was my mindset for all them years and then I had enoughand I started slowly taper off not a year but months I got my self back again which now I do take vitamins I do do herbs I eat, right I exercise one of the worst things anybody could ever put you on it’ll make you crazy as a bedbug
i knew a lady in the pscyh hospital she had a bad heart she could not take pscyh meds so they told me they can not discharge her because she cant take psych meds because of her bad heart so they keep her there for the rest of her life this should be illegal
Hi!
I really enjoyed this workshop video. You mentioned some different alternatives, instead of taking another pill. I was put on Cymbalta ten years ago, for depression/anxiety disorder. I recently realized that Doctors' had decided to keep me on Cymbalta far life. I think that Doctors' and Drug Companies are doing this for the sole purpose of making money. Plus, turning us, humans' into mice, that are going round and around, with no exit in sight. A very frightening idea. May God Bless you!!!!
+Superdelta000 Obviously you never tried to quit Cymbalta, hint it ends in tears, if your lucky. they need to force the company to pay to help the victims off that poison. I nearly died twice trying to kick that drug out. many don't survive. I mean they die! usually suicide. it's no fucking joke.
Congratulations, wish I had a way to know the side/after effects. I thought anything was better than the pain... I was wrong.
@@richardscathouse Did you take medications for sczophernia?
@@richardscathouse I believe you because I had numerous suicide attempts when. I was cutting down. I got my medication in liquid for and it’s easier than cutting bits of the pills. It took me 2 years to cut down that way. But it was still vert frightening
Can there be a video of withdrawal
Visualize it in patients heads
Thanks
Has someone got off Risperdal and come back to normal?
I dont know one person who has got better with long term use of these drugs. All of them are permanently crippled.
@@capresti3537 grg
@@FREEANDREWTATEKKK ?
Any patients come off depakote?
Has anyone gotten akathisia and how did you cope or reduce it?
Vitamin B one is a better antipsychotic. If i experience anxiety one fat soluable allithiamine capsule usually stop it.
Hey, where did you purchase yours?
A web shop in Norway. Objective Nutrients has quality TTFD tho
@@Byrial ttfd?
TTFD is the form of thiamine i use and the most bioavailable. Its also called allithiamine and is derved from garlic.
@@Byrialgreat, thank you for clarifying that for me
Is this young man still well
medications are not good for our body, organs. They contribute to other problems. I was withdraw each month by psych/nurse, not knowing she never said; Divaploex has side affects is addictive. Been on since late in life. always stable. never depressed. when on 125 mg daily this is after 11 months I was fine then I was unstable on my feet my extremities were tingling hurting. I found it hard to eat as before because my feet hurt. I phoned police knowing if I didn't get out of my apartment was in new area knew no one. I would die. I hadn't eaten in over 2 weeks three meals, not because I didn't want to I did make my self eat soup daily that is not enough. They found me B 12 deficient B 6 and mildly anemia. no other testing. I also diagnose late in life hypo thyroid. No I am getting nutritional deficient testing. I build up my immune system eat organic and exercise walking I sleep well always do. I believe I can come off but slower. With two people checking in on me when it is 250 or so daily. calling and when I sense something have them come to make sure I eat well. I will make sure all deficiencies are not any more first.
groundbreaking, thanks will.
If there was a consent form for the side-effects or some system that monitored side-effects so no human has to suffer . Like a real structured protocol like- here is this drug , it will help in this , it can harm this , take your time to decide , sign a convent form if you want to try the drug , start with a trial , and call them back in , give them a checklist to see what it helps in them and what it harms , then decide with the doctor and others , and then cycle repeat …. Imagine how this honest to goodness approach will SAVE so many lives . INSTEAD here’s the drug and drugs , here’s the dose - usually high and higher and higher , nahhh no side-effects really happen , oh really?!? , some people’s life magically improves - woohooooo ; some people dying at home unable to get out of bed and shower and getting suicidal and eventually vomiting suicide . PS the drugs SHOU/led be given after taking labs -- but wonderfully with psychotropic drugs there are NO labs being done , it’s all hypothesis of what could be happening in the brain -- and here are the drugs that will fix the brain . Period . Don’t question the King and Queen Psychiatrist and Doctor .
Thank you.
I am looking for some advice. Im 4 months off invega sustenna which has a long withdrawal. Im also on zopiclone but i want to get off off. Should i wait for the withdrawal to end before coming off zopiclone. Thanks
Taking fluvoxamine since last 5 years. Earlier I used to take Fluvoxetine since I was 7. I am trying to taper off Fluvoxamine 50mg. I successfully did it from 200 to 50 in last 2 years. Now the things are getting harder. The problem is that I can't get fluvoxamine in liquid form. It's not available in 25mg or lower doses either. Does this work if i try removing 6.25 every month ( i need to cut the pill into 8 pieces). I am really scared because I tried 50 to 0 in last 3 months before and failed. This time I am fixing 8 months for tapering for 50 to 0. Please advise if I can try any other method. Can I soak it in liquid myself and do that liquid tapering. I thought it is too complex and might be dangerous as well. Does going 6.25 off every month sounds doable? Please help.
I said I rather live with the voices then take the psych drugs
Vito Sorel research natural alternatives, 75% of the gen. Population are deficient in magnesium or "the natural chill pill", it greatly reduces anxiety. Schizophrenics produce too much adrenaline which isn't even treated with neuroleptics. Baking soda reduces adrenaline! Schizophrenics are deficient in several vitamins such as vitamin D and there are several neuroprotectives supplements which can improve schizophrenia. You don't have to hear voices! Eat right, exercise, take vitamins and supplements and maintain an optimistic outlook at all costs. 10% of schizophrenics commit suicide, don't become a statistic! Benefit humanity!
Try sardine's on toast.
Looking for advice on coming off 250 mg of Depakote and 200 mg of Clozapine. Having extreme physical pain (chopping/stabbing-like feeling on different parts of the body), that comes and goes. Not sure what is causing the pain.
I am trying to get off of 0.75 klonopin but I can't sleep.....what can I take for sleep that is healthy....my doctor wants me to go on vistral but I am 76 and I don't think it is a safe drug. I have tried Benadryl and it makes me sick...and so does Melatonin.....HELP???
Have you tried non-caffeinated herbal tea? The ritual of making the tea itself can be therapeutic. Drinking it in sips promotes mindfulness which brings you into body/mind balance. And then, of course, the natural properties within the tea itself provides a soothing effect that aids in sleep.
Take magnesium glycinate. 250mg-500mg an hour or so before you want to get sleepy. Make sure it's a good, reputable brand. I like the brand nest.
Website is down
I have had like 10-20 happy moments in last 13 years..since Corona been somewhat better?...
I feel better just seeing online for 20 minutes a week. I actually find the in between staff to psychaitrist more troubling...
At least with psychiatrist u know there's some education they have gone thru rigirously especially in somewhat reputed hospitals...but religious hospitals were always negative....despite their insistentce they are not.
DEPAKOTE is good Beidge drug during tapering

Is there something natural/organic solution for bipolar disorder? The side effects of meds are intolerable.
Lithium Orotate.
Nenya have you stopped taking bi-polar medication?
Yes, I have.
Did you do it gradually? Any bad side effects?
I had no bad side effects because I did it very very very gradually. While taking a bunch of supplements like 5htp, l theanine, omega 3, vitamin d3...etc.
