Why aren’t doctors formally trained in slow, safe tapering methods and don’t recognise withdrawals past two weeks? Crazy our elderly get so drugged by maniacs. I know some elderly on an ssri, SNRI and an antipsychotic 🤯 Doctors can prescribe however they don’t have a clue when they take patients off meds too fast. Seems a little crazy to me that this is actually allowed. Why do doctors only treat symptoms?
As a retired nurse and patient, I have never once had a Psychiatrist attempt to lower patient off of a benzodiasapine or har.ful psychotropic medication. NO patient care of consideration, just keep the money rolling in.
I can only take seroquel. Because all of the other neuroleptics give me akethesia. It’s the most difficult symptom that causes higher heart rate and anxiety. I have a scant tardive dysconesia. But, have been on medications for over 30 years. I don’t have trouble with Zoloft or Tegretol. My doctor monitors me carefully every month or two and and takes labs. I have a great psychiatrist. I cannot take lithium. I get terribly sick. My doctor gave me clonazepam for anxiety and he wants me to take it too much. Because it causes Alzheimer’s. I have schizoaffective disorder and need these medications.

My mother in law full-blown alzheimer's.. bedridden, hardly could swallow. I took her off ALL MEDS, only fresh fruit, raw, salads, no dairy, no bread, no fking BOOST, only water. Within a month, she was back making up her bed. Talking almost, like normal!! So Wonderful... Until the DR gets a hold of her again. Down the tube, she'll go. Got her outside get sunshine. Let her walk around yard. She improved 60-70% she looked close to death. She regained, So so much!!.
Hi, Sibusiso! We do delve into what psychotropic medications are in the video. mmLearn.org offers real-life, quality caregiver training to anyone seeking practical ways to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of older adults in their care.

Patients using Lexapro should be monitored very closely during their first month or two. Doctors are unfortunately way too lax and way too likely to add another medication rather than to try reducing the dosage of the one they just increased. Generally Anna depressants affect different people different ways and what works for one person may be horrible for somebody else we are not all the same. Have a great day!

Sounds like the pill of death so why give them !
