Has there been a thread about how people get off meds well? I've tried many methods and recently went cold turkey as im sick of meds and want to DIY. I've come off the max dose of Cipramil and have been having brain "rushes" which im taking flaxseed oil for and it seems to take the edge off. i also am having short evening "flashbacks" to the drug-numbness state. Have any other members got advice about getting off the meds merry-go-round?
Its great to feel passion and anger again after being drugged up for so long (10 years). I dont want to use any Dr therapy; tried them all and they dont work for me. Actually think they've done more harm than good; eg my last psychiatrist basically talked me out of an "unhealthy" relationship that was actually very healing. I've been to every kind of mental health professional and only one (an unqualified counsellor who i suspect had close experience of ptsd herself) was helpful; the rest know nothing, and the more qualified you go, the more drugs they pile on to you until you are walking toxic shock. Or else its endless replay of the "trauamatic events" from every possible angle and digging out every nuance and memory. Makes managing real life hard, but then youre so medicated it dosnt matter.
Maybe its the withdrawal talking but all i feel is anger at the drs and the meds and the rest of the world as well. No one can help you with this its just basically, deal with it or die. Thats the choice.
