  • Dr. Jennifer Giordano, widely recognized as Dr. G, is a psychiatrist who uses a holistic approach to help those who want to take an active role in their own health and avoid, decrease, or stop using psychiatric medications.
    She saw the major gap in the medical community in the understanding of psych med tapering and wanted to help fill it, which grew into working one-on-one with hundreds of people navigating the tapering terrain.
    Amidst the rampant use of psychiatric medications, Dr G believes people deserve to know their options before considering mind-altering medications. She guides patients to safely come-off psych medications through expert holistic mental healthcare and a common sense approach.
    She specializes in creating individualized, gentle, and slow tapering plans to help people successfully taper psychiatric medications while maintaining their regular daily routine.
    Her commitment to understanding the intricacies of human well-being and mental suffering led her to spending 1.5 years in India studying the Eastern and yogic approach to ultimate well-being. She underwent an intensive yoga & meditation teacher training conducted by a world renowned yogi, after which she taught programs for well-being and inner transformation across India and North America.
    Dr. Giordano’s educational background includes a degree in Industrial & Operations Engineering from the University of Michigan in 1997, followed by the attainment of her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) from Michigan State University in 2003. She completed her Psychiatry Residency at Henry Ford Hospital in 2010.
    With 17 years of holistic health experience, Dr G’s aim is to help people be as healthy as possible as naturally as possible. She offers in-depth education to each person she works with about mental health treatment options encompassing both natural and medical approaches.

    I worked for NAMI. Now Im a whistleblower. NAMI is in bed with the drug companies and was created by parents of mental patients in 1977. To this day they get most of their funding from the drug selling paradigms of E Fuller Torrey “ brain “and medicalizing all human problems and they are who the average working family consults for advice. All roads of help lead to drugs. The diet of the “ peers “ ( members with so called mental illness. It’s actually traumatic brain injuries or intellectual deficits or autism or Down’s syndrome- dipping into the meager MH dolkar. Its an adult day care. ) Everything they do is to sell drugs and increase awareness of getting on drugs. If we do not end this corruption it wont end.

    To Angie and Dr. G. You both should be so proud of yourselves. You are shedding light and knowledge and hope against a very powerful establishment of medical model psychiatry. It was such an encouraging but gentle and hopeful interview. For all those out there like me ( and I am from Belfast, Northern Ireland) who are struggling with withdrawal almost every day…there is hope and inspiration and great recovery stories like Angie. Be encouraged. Thank you Angiefor hosting. And keep going. You carry a lot on your shoulders so look after yourself too. We love you .Hugs to you both.xx

    Thank you so much Angie for doing these interviews. I do not hear very much in the circles about the long-term adverse effects of polypharmacy that are driving me to even embark on tapering again. The worst for me is hypersensitivity in all of my senses, including my quote, “Spidey sense“. I have hyperacusis from the drugs that makes my life feel like a war zone. I am only 52 years old and I have cognitive decline. My immune system is screwed up, I have problems with my thyroid, kidneys, muscles, tendons, nerves, bones sensitivity to heat the list goes on, and on, None of my many many psychiatrists ever warned me about any of this I think they didn’t know.

    I need help, I am not able to do this on my own. I have put 50 hours researching this past week. I have listened to a dozen experts on TH-cam and I am going to seek the both of you to help me. All of what you say I agree with. No two people are alike. 90 percent of my journey is who I am going to work with. I am taking a dozen vitamins and minerals, diet is clean, no sugar. Hydrating with water only. I made a big mistake, and I can kick myself in the you know where. I love you both for all you do for all of us who are suffering from Benzos.

    I’ve never been very stable, that’s why I had to start tapering clonazepam. Tapering has made it so much worse and hold of 4 months is unbearable. Some just don’t have the luxury of starting off stable. 😢

    So is protacted withdrawal possibly the body's inability to heal that certain symptom? Or its just taking longer to heal?

    • @AngiePeacockMSW
      @AngiePeacockMSW  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      It’s not an inability it’s just that some have different injuries than other and it might take longer. At 8 years off I continue to see healing in myself even though it’s all minor stuff compared to acute.

    What supplements help with antipsychotic withdrawal

      None to my knowledge. The only two that people seem to be okay with are magnesium and fish oil.
