Psychiatric drugs have ruined my life. I was a functional individual and was very good at my craft.

Hi Augustin, You are touching on an important issue. Any medication is a double edged sword, i.e. it can have helpful and harmful effects. Which effects a medication will have in a given patient at a given time can be impossible to forsee. A patient of mine recently started taking Abilify, and his life has been transformed in a very positive way. Tai Chi, acupuncture, yoga, meditation, and dietary changes potentially could help in a situation such as yours. Peter Goertz
@@goertzpsychiatry9340 of course. I wish I wasn't told that it was a "very noble substance" and that any adverse effect would be temporary. Now I've been left in hell for the rest of my life which sadly seems to be quite a bit of time.
Psychiatrists give out meds to non acute patients in Florida especially elderly and children just to make them easy to manage and compliant. You are more responsible than most. We really do have a problem with diagnostic inflation and no doctors give informed consent regarding sexual dysfunction too.
Im not a psychiatrist but I decided to call it “the point of diminishing help” which is borrowed from a business phrase called “ the point of diminishing returns” because there is an easy to anticipate point at which medication begins to do more harm than good. This is a good time to anticipate and Dr Peter Breggin says a plan to titrate onto meds should be accompanied by a plan to go off of meds . It should be time limited at the outset. And psychotheraputic help should never be venting in a room with a paid sounding board. Psychotherapy should incorporate context. Family and friends and small community such as church or a twelve step group or a bible group or a group therapy or a support group. Some sort of mileiu or social context should be brought into with participants in the process in my opinion. Dialogic practice is ideal but it cant be done in a medical setting. Its done in homes and nothing is spoken about the patient outside his or her presence. Self determination is an important aspect of the recovery model. When psychiatry classifies people in categories it forgets that some categories of distress are incompatible and therefore should not be called each others’ peers”

i was not suprised my friend bernadette has mentall illness her mom is a psychiatrist her mom told her daughter to never take psych meds they are very dangerous but her mom gives the meds to others with no problem my friend bernadette is 34 years old she lives with her mom my friend is afraid in the future when her mom pasess away she is going to be forced to take dangerous psych meds she never needed becaue she is going to be forced to go to the psych hospital to get government housing like millions of other mentally ill americans who never needed psych meds
to get off psych meds your pscyiatrist will lesson the milligrams of psych meds that u take every month untill its down to a safe mg were u dont have to take it any more a psychiatrist did this for me i never took psych meds i never needed untill the age of 37 i had 2 choice become homeless or go to the state psych hospital to get government housing i could not find an affordable place to live i called section 8 they told me there is a long 6 years waiting list so i had to go to the state pscyh hospital adn take dangerous psych meds in order go get government housing so i could afford to live being homeless to me would be even worse experience its agravating how our government gives people ssi which is such a low amount of money its very hard to live on but if u want more financial help to be able to survive u have to go to the state psych hospital adn take dangerous psych meds in section 8 apt i paid 170 a month for rent before going to the state psych hospital living on only ssi in rooming housess i had to pay 400 to 450 dollars rent for just a room in a rooming house very hard to survive financially if u dont go to the state psych hospital only u know your self beter then psychiatrist do if u are unable to control your self not being on psych meds example if u r violent then keep taking the psych meds but if u r able to control your self and u r not violent and not suicidal then there is no reason not to stop the psych meds if your mentall illness does not cause u any serious problems only u know your self no psychiatrist can never know u as well as u know your self u need to judge if u are able to live with out psych meds in my case living with out pscyh meds for 37 years i knew i never needed them thats why i feel confident not taking them my depression made me cry for about 25 percent of the time it never stopped me from doing things my anxiety made me anxious at times i went for walks no need for psych meds i was never suicidal i was never a dangerous person i never attacked anone one etc etc and i never did the very bad things many severely sick in the head and very dangerous so called normal americans did to other people another reason i did not need pscyh meds
u have to lower the mg u r on gradually month after month a psychiatrist did this for me years ago tell your psychiatrist u want to get off the psych meds she will gradually lower the dose every month only take the meds if u really need them i know my self so i know i dont need pscyh meds till the age of 37 i never took any because i never needed any untill i could no longer find affordable housing in a safe area and i had 2 choice go to the psych hospital to get affordable government housing or live on the streets i had to go to the psych hospital and be forced to take dangerous psych meds i never needed and they did not even have any respect for me they refused to tell me how dangerous the meds are

I have not successfully treated a schizophrenic patient without medication. However it is conceivable, that a schizophrenic patient could do reasonably well without medication, if there is adequate social and emotional support, possibly including psychotherapy, good housing, good nutrition and support of physical health.

i had depression for years but my depression never stopped me from functionning it just made me cry about 30 percent of the time anti depressants only helped about 50 percent i started taking alpha lipoic acid for nerve pain for the past 2 years i stopped the anti depressants 2 years ago to my suprised the ala has made my depression 100 percent better i dont even get lonely any more but there are different types of depression ala might help u as good as it helps me and it might not alot of people have depression that is much more severe then mine and i would only cry for about 5 min then i was ok i could snap out of it
i was not suprised my friend bernadette has mentall illness her mom is a psychiatrist her mom told her daughter to never take psych meds they are very dangerous but her mom gives the meds to others with no problem my friend bernadette is 34 years old she lives with her mom my friend is afraid in the future when her mom pasess away she is going to be forced to take dangerous psych meds she never needed becaue she is going to be forced to go to the psych hospital to get government housing like millions of other mentally ill americans who never needed psych meds

How does someone get off psychiatric drugs and off the mental health system?
It may be wise to discuss this with a psychiatrist whom you trust, and then take things step by step. Peter Goertz
@@goertzpsychiatry9340 talk to a psychiatist who is part of the mental health system? lmao!
to get off psych meds your pscyiatrist will lesson the milligrams of psych meds that u take every month untill its down to a safe mg were u dont have to take it any more a psychiatrist did this for me i never took psych meds i never needed untill the age of 37 i had 2 choice become homeless or go to the state psych hospital to get government housing i could not find an affordable place to live i called section 8 they told me there is a long 6 years waiting list so i had to go to the state pscyh hospital adn take dangerous psych meds in order go get government housing so i could afford to live being homeless to me would be even worse experience its agravating how our government gives people ssi which is such a low amount of money its very hard to live on but if u want more financial help to be able to survive u have to go to the state psych hospital adn take dangerous psych meds in section 8 apt i paid 170 a month for rent before going to the state psych hospital living on only ssi in rooming housess i had to pay 400 to 450 dollars rent for just a room in a rooming house very hard to survive financially if u dont go to the state psych hospital only u know your self beter then psychiatrist do if u are unable to control your self not being on psych meds example if u r violent then keep taking the psych meds but if u r able to control your self and u r not violent and not suicidal then there is no reason not to stop the psych meds if your mentall illness does not cause u any serious problems only u know your self no psychiatrist can never know u as well as u know your self u need to judge if u are able to live with out psych meds in my case living with out pscyh meds for 37 years i knew i never needed them thats why i feel confident not taking them my depression made me cry for about 25 percent of the time it never stopped me from doing things my anxiety made me anxious at times i went for walks no need for psych meds i was never suicidal i was never a dangerous person i never attacked anone one etc etc and i never did the very bad things many severely sick in the head and very dangerous so called normal americans did to other people another reason i did not need pscyh meds
u have to lower the mg u r on gradually month after month a psychiatrist did this for me years ago tell your psychiatrist u want to get off the psych meds she will gradually lower the dose every month only take the meds if u really need them i know my self so i know i dont need pscyh meds till the age of 37 i never took any because i never needed any untill i could no longer find affordable housing in a safe area and i had 2 choice go to the psych hospital to get affordable government housing or live on the streets i had to go to the psych hospital and be forced to take dangerous psych meds i never needed and they did not even have any respect for me they refused to tell me how dangerous the meds are
i was not suprised years ago a psychiatrist lied to a judge in front of me this is what happen to make a long story short i have a breathing disorder because my turbinates in my nose are damaged i told the psychiatrist at the state psych hospital this and if i take psych meds or any meds that cause dryness i am not able to breath from my nose i end up breathing from my mouth which is extremely stressful and makes me struggle to breath and i told the psychiatrist this is why the psych ward i was in before i came here did not put me on psych meds so the pscyhiatrit said to me is there any staff worker that works here that knows about your breathing disorder i said yes the chineese female nurse was my nurse at the other state psych hospital i was in years ago in my state like other states we have more then one state psych hospital or major psych hospital what ever u want to call it so he talked to her then he said to me ok the nurse told me what u said is true then i told him i made a mistake comming here i did not think properly if u give me psych meds there is a very high chance it will make me suffer severly because many psych meds cause drynesss so i told him i want to go to the homeless shelter so i wont be force to take pscyh meds that are going to make it very hard for me to breath we went infront of the judge all patients see teh judge and i told the judge i want to go to the homeless shelter i came here with out thinking it threw properly because my landlord at the time rented me an apt with a severe infestation of bedbugs adn the psychiatrist had the nerve to lie to the judge and tell teh judge judge he is dillusional making the judge keep me in the psych hospital and refusing to tell the judge about my breathign disorder were there is one lying psychiatrist there are many thats a fact in my state like other state we have more then one major psych hospital then the psychiatrist said to me there is an anti depressant called amoxapine which does not cause dryness its an old anti depressant i will put u on it so it wont cause u any dryness and effect your breathing he told me your lucky because this is the only psych med that does not cause dryness if it was not for this anti depressant i would not be able to discharge u so i was forced to take teh amoxapine and thank god what the psychiatrst said was true about the amoxapine it never caused any dryness to my nose or mouth adn it did not effect my breathing it made me mad that the pscyhiatrist lied to the judge that was very wrong i also had ct scan at the psych ward before i went to teh major psych hospital which showed damaged to my turbinates in teh past when i lived in the community i went to an ent dr that gave me ct scans showing damage to my turbinates i had a ligit reason for wanting to go to the homeless shelter i was not dillusional im not a moron i know better i wanted to go there so i would not be forced to take psych meds that would cause dryness and make it very hard for me to breath that is not being dillusional i was not suprised many years ago they forced mentally ill people to have a lobotomy they never needed thank god some truly normal person put a stop to that years ago sorry about my big paragraph
Thank you Mike for your comments.
I have tried almost all psychiatric drugs. Dr. Says you have obsessions of thoughts. I couldn't tolerate these med. Due to side effects. Is there any way for me......
It may be wise to work with a psychiatrist and/or a psychotherapist.
What would you do with a patient who's been on benzodiazepines for 40 years?
That can be a challenge. Any change in medication would need to be slow/gradual.
@@goertzpsychiatry9340 Challenge is an understatement. I'm fighting for my life. No Dr knew how to deal with severe withdrawal, no Dr could even recognize that I was in acute withdrawal.
Here are a few of my symptoms.
It became clear at this point that Dr's were a danger to me. As a response to this crisis, they were prescribing me cocktails that would've ended my life, multiple respiratory depressants when I was struggling to breathe from withdrawal.
I never took this drug at a high dose, and this is what it did to me. th-cam.com/video/lzeYUt_KgEY/w-d-xo.html
@@goertzpsychiatry9340 Please note. I had none of these health issues prior to withdrawal.
@@goertzpsychiatry9340 I've almost died during this process numerous times, be medical providers that didn't know what they were doing. Not one physician knew how to help, I was discarded. All of this was from 2 medications, benzo and a Zdrug. 2 1/2 yrs later im still trying to stay alive. th-cam.com/video/2wMtMhcEMGI/w-d-xo.html
I was on Diazepam for 40 plus years until the recent deputy NAZI drug police clamped down on all the doctors; I went off Diazepam overnight. One yellow pill per day for 40 years. I have increase anxiety of course, but no withdrawals at all. I know others who have had the same experience.
My dad was a paranoid schizophrenic that without his medication went into psychotic rages, which scared the hell out of me. But on his medication he said he lived life a dull haze, in a medicated cloud. So, the reality was what choice of two evils do you want?
Yes, with any medication it is a balance; any medication can have adverse effects.
my dad was schizophrenic he never took psych meds he never needed he worked all his life painting houses he was never in jail or a psych ward because of my dad and other mentally ill people who never took psych meds many peoples lies about the mentally ill does not work on me i know better my dad was one thousand times more safe to be around compared to many severely sick in the head and very dangerous so called normal people thats a fact

I am on aripiprazole due to mania I am on the lowest dose went from starting with 5 to now 2 and a half is this a concern and dangerous for my body I do feel lazy and a little sad on them
Any medication has it’s pros and cons. It seems wise for you to keep your psychiatrist up to date with how you are doing, mentally and physically. Peter Goertz
@@goertzpsychiatry9340 okay 👍🏼 thankyou

Can you give me advice to cope with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia?
A psychiatrist and a psychotherapist whom you trust, a good diet, good sleep, exercise, time for recreation/fun, work that you enjoy, social support, friends, a partner, yoga, tai chi and acupuncture can all help. Peter Goertz

Can you tall me about priparadon injuction after I take it it was serous sides effects
Please let your doctor know about this.
I’ve been on and off meds for 5 years!!! I need freaking help
Hi Brittany, If possible, it is good to have a psychiatrist and a psychotherapist whom you trust and feel comfortable with. Peter Goertz
I’ve been on meds for 18 years
Unfortunately I’m in too deep I don’t even think it’s possible to slowly taper..every time I’ve tried I relapse..could of had a much better quality of life without them..I take 3 meds now..life isn’t horrible but like I said could have had a much better quality of life if I was never on these
They're bad.
Thank you for your input Lucian. Peter Goertz

my father beleived the mafia was after him he also believed the government puts dead peoples bones in the food in the supermarket several strange dillusions my dad had but he had them a small percentage of the time not all day long he worked all his life painting housess dealing with his schizophrenia with out psych meds all his life he would get mad when i laughed at his dillusions i guess some people have schizophrenia much worse then others
Did you ever see a schizophrenic who was not on drugs?
I have not successfully treated a schizophrenic patient without medication. However it is conceivable, that a schizophrenic patient could do reasonably well without medication, if there is adequate social and emotional support, possibly including psychotherapy, good housing, good nutrition and support of physical health.
yes my father all his life he never took psych meds he never needed he worked painting housess all his life
who ever delete the truth i wrote u can never stop me from knowing the truth
BAD
My dads want me on meds
the mans lies in the video dont fool me
i learned from the internet alpha lipoic acid helps with my depression alot better compared to anti depressants i took which only helped 50 percent ala helps 95 percent i also read magnesium is very good for ocd psych meds never helped with my ocd or others i knew so i gave it a try to my surpise magensium has made my ocd 90 percent better im finally in control of my ocd with the many lies psychiatrist tell im not suprised the experince i have had with ala and magnesium
Thank you Mike for sharing your experiences. Peter Goertz
@@goertzpsychiatry9340 why is it major psych hospitals or state pscyh hospitals what ever they are called force mentally ill people to take dangerous psych meds many never needed but when many get discharged to section 8 housing to an apt they are not forced to take dangerous psych meds this makes no sense like the many other ways this country is runned and they are allowed to stay in the section 8 apt for many years with out taking psych meds i know this to be true because i was in section 8 housing years ago and the staff told me in section 8 u r not forced to take psych meds u dont have to take psych meds they were called pact team i call them teh staff i delt with they came to see me once a week also the people at section 8 told me i dont have to take psych meds
@@goertzpsychiatry9340 if u google alpha lipoic acid for depression or magnesium for ocd it will also tell u magnesium is good for ocd and ala is good for depression i know it because i take it

I know.
it was very disrepectful to put my comments on the bottom of the page
TH-cam automatically categorizes comments based on the date that they were left and how many likes they received; so individual channel owners have nothing to do with that.
So a comment that was left 2 months ago that got 10,000 likes would rank higher than a comment that got left 5 years ago that only has 100 likes.

My psychiatrist told me that needing an antidepressant was like a diabetic needing insulin!
I wish I could be prescribed benzodiazepines as an as needed medication. It's really the only thing that works when I'm having a bad anxiety attack. Unfortunately my meds doctor is scared to prescribe them to me because I am a recovering addict. I've been clean 23 yrs but, my anxiety has gotten worse in the past year. I'm on seroquel, clonidine and lamictal but, it doesn't really help the bad anxiety attacks I get some times. I feel like I could handle it as an as needed and not take them all the time but, I understand her concern.
This is a frequent dilemma. In the long run yoga, tai chi, acupuncture and meditation could help with avoiding anxiety attacks.
@@goertzpsychiatry9340 I definitely could try harder with the meditation. I've also considered acupuncture my insurance would cover it once a month I think. Thank you for the suggestions.
