I’m a protracted acute withdrawal syndrome survivor too 😢 It’s incredible how little Doctors understand about the dangers of withdrawals. Sad times ahead for so many people. Our Doctors need to get educated quickly.
@@imshillgates I can say now that I am better yes. It’s been six years since my uneducated doctor fast tapered me . The worst thing about PAWS is what’s known as “waves and windows”. It took four years to get over those. I was so unreliable for at least 3 years because I didn’t know when I would get my next wave. Incredibly slow healing. To remember the first year and then into the second year. Wow it was so hard and I stood my ground and kept going. All this was completely unavoidable if Doctors were taught how to get patients off these things slowly and safely. They just weren’t taught this in med school and it’s a real shame to find this out. Good luck and peace to you and anyone going through PAWS. 🙏🏻 It’s the hardest journey but I’m stronger and much much wiser now. I’ve been able to help friends with the same situation.
@@imshillgates my last comment got deleted 🤔 . Yes doing better yes. Its a slow healing process that take years to recover. For me it was around year 3-4 to stop the waves and windows.
Dr's haven't got a clue !! I'm 14 weeks off Valium after 26 years, a rapid hospital detox. It has been 4 months of living hell and I'm still suffering so much. Agonising nerve and body pain, balance and cognitive issues, golf ball sized swelling on various parts of my body, chemical terror, mini seizures, depersonalisation, insomnia, aphasia, internal akathisia, vertigo, postural hypotension...it is like being in the pits of HELL 😢
@@traceyholt8223 thankyou !!! I haven't had one day of depression since stopping the Valium and no actual anxiety. I took a tablet for 26 years, that I didn't even need. It has almost destroyed my life but it hasn't !!
Well done 👏🏻 I made it through to 6 years and going well now. Hell on earth and such a lonely journey because doctors are not educating themselves. Keep going and well done again 👏🏻 From Perth.
@@Uma921 I say “I’m on the other side” yes however I’m still healing. I feel I have some time yet. The healing journey is so slow and tiring. The first year was hell on earth literally, the second wasn’t much better but saw more “windows” then “waves” I think the most frustrating thing about PAWS is the “waves and windows”. I was such an unreliable person the first two and even into the third year. When I was in a “window” I was invincible, but I knew a “wave” can hit soon after. On the fourth year my “waves and windows” went away which was amazing to have gotten through that part of it. I think I’m more shocked and suffering from what I know now. I’ve been waiting for this illness to hit the mainstream tv for years. Peace and love to you and your family ☮️ ❤️🙏🏻🐾 education is key 🔑
I coach people who are in withdrawal. Most have doctors who don't believe them. My story was featured in a film about this called "Medicating Normal." My channel brings interviews with people trying to bring awareness to this, and survivors who have healed from this.
Hi Angie 🎉 Thank you very much for the years of help ❤️🙏🏻🇦🇺 I’m so thankful for you and your educational videos. I’ve reached 6 years protracted and doing well.

Angie , I appreciate you so much! You have instrumental in helping me understand what is-was happening to me. I had no idea when blindsided by withdrawal symptoms! Still not out of the woods, but it's slowly getting better. 15 months out. ❤

Yes a feeling of terror low focus frustration easy anger and you’re confused because your internal emotional compass is unreliable but nobody told you about it or what to do
Anti-depressants ruined my life. It's done permanent damage to my nervous system. And Im unable to come off. If you're reading this and not long started on them, get off before they change the chemistry of your brain too much. Going on them is not the problem. Coming off is. And if on them for years, there's a 50% chance youll have issues coming off and a 25% chance that you'll have major problems. And they last for months and often years (almost 7 for me). Im just not the same person anymore. It's not worth it. Should never have been put on them. Exercise, meditation, diet, sleep, socialising, counselling... all these things should be looked at FIRST, rather then a damn pill.
I have had a similar situation, where coming down off the amount of anti-depressants felt like going cold turkey off an addictive drug. The "brain zaps", I can "sonic booms", where it feels like a sound wave booming out of the center of your brain. I'm currently on the lowest dose of 2 of my anti-depressants and hoping to be off them completely. The sleeping tablets however are another thing that I just can't do without. Going without them means having no sleep for days and feeling like a zombie. This has been going on for 13 years now. The Doctors never recommended coming off them, that was my choice to come off them with their advice and instruction on how to do so.
The slower taper that the so called British Guidelines advocate are still not widely known here or publicised! The NHS website doesn’t mention this for example… Doctors and Psychiatrists to tell them!
I was placed on antidepressants 10 years ago when diagnosed with severe work related PTS. I want to know if there are any negative effects with staying on them? I was told there were not. Now I wonder.
@@Linda_AUS they were never designed to be on them long term. Yes you better start wondering and opening your mind. Mostly 9 week trials for these drugs and rushed to market$. The toughest thing is getting off them slowly and safely. You won’t get good advice in a doctors office unfortunately. They simply were not taught to get patients off these drugs safely and slowly. Something they missed at med school $.
Mine turned on me. I began experiencing shortness of breath (severe) , obesity, cloudy , muddled thinking, SEVERE depression, body changes.....I'm slowly getting my life back.❤
I have severe anxiety most of the time, I've tried several antidepressants to help, but none have. However, I'm glad none have. Exercise helps a lot and i dont have to worry about this.
I can so relate to this. Been there many times, I never knew it had a name and that’s why I’m now talking openly about it this evening TT Live@ 5 PM CST
Because of the side effects and then discontinuation of a SSRI, I was thrown into a chemical cascade of psych drugs that lasted more than a decade. Through slow tapers, I am now almost off the last drug. Lost everything.
I spent 5 months coming off my antidepressants (my best decision ever was telling my doctor I wanted to go slower than the 2 months they initially recommended ). I knew to taper them off instead of going cold turkey, because thats all my doctors and online research emphasized. NO ONE told me I would still have withdrawal symptoms. I wish my doctor told me -I could have planned to take some time off work at very least. it’s a nightmare. I have no idea how long this is going to last and it’s so hard to find information on how to cope with it.
Unfortunately this is going to be more and more common especially since the global pandemic when loads of people were most likely put on antidepressant drugs. The truth is already known but not globally known or taught YET.
i'm sorry, but the side effects of the drug left me with no choice but to stop. the heart problems, bone loss, hands shaking out of control, massive sweating, and digestive issues.
Only three pills??!! I’m having my first therapist appointment soon and planned on giving medication a test run if they do prescribe me pills but never mind. I had a bad trip on cannabis which fried my brain for 4 months so I understand what you are going through. Get well my friend
Antidepressants are so dangerous. Im not here to judge or offend GPs but some of them have no clue what they are doing. I would honestly advise anyone who's never taken them to never take them. I've been on citalopram for years and I can honestly say the drug has ruined my life. Im not the person I used to be and don't function how I used to. Couceling is what people need not Antidepressants that ruin lives.
@@Jimmy-Legs zero clue and it’s so depressing to find this out. I went onto investigating 14 more doctors and they look at you like what no that’s not a thing 🙄 I’m a survivor of PAWS.

People on Cymbalta take years ( nine is the highest I have heard) to come off. I met a lady on the Cymbalta hurts worse Facebook group. She came off quickly over eight months and had to go back on it to get rid of of her horrific symptoms. Then she taped it over five years and got severe akathisia again.
No! Please continue doing research and observe the anecdotal evidence of thousands of people reporting roughly the same thing. Extreme challenge when weening of the drugs.

This whole presentation is nothing more than a solicitation by Horowitz to buy his micro step method of reducing and stopping the use of antidepressants. He wants you to come to him and buy his method of stopping antidepressants. It is true that one must very carefully and gradually reducing dosing but Mark is just seeking business.
SO NOT TRUE! Dr. Horowitz gives this information freely in his podcasts. He and Angie Peacock have literally saved my life with their combined first hand knowledge!! ❤
I disagree. He runs many free seminars, podcasts etc.. most of his information is available online. I am pleased that the RACGP have also endorsed his de prescribing guidelines. Doctors need more information so they can assist their patients as withdrawal is a nightmare.
I don't know what will happen next i have used them for 10 years !!! Now Tried to stop still going well hopefully everything will be alright this time.
Im having quite a hard time getting off citalopram. thank god im only on 10mg. Doctors offered for me to go up in dose but i said no, so glad i did. Trying to come off as slow as i can but get horrible head aches and dizziness. Its hard cutting 10mg tablets in half accurately but trying my best
