"It‘s embarrassing: I‘m not sure if i took out 25 or 26 beads yesterday. Today it was 25 again. Maybe thats why the worse mood. However, need a few days more either way to assess if i‘m getting out of the woods."I hate it when stuff like this happens! You'll get back on track soon.
"Worrying about how long this whole process will still take."I understand. Me too. I'm going to be at this for years, but I'd rather take things slowly than rush through and suffer the consequences.
"I so much root for the psychiatric system to change and acknowledge how wrong - or even criminal - they were in pushing these meds onto the broader population as „safe“."It's true that these drugs are way overprescribed. Change does need to happen! There are so many harmed people in the world due to these drugs. I'm just thankful for communities like this one that are providing a much-needed service for people.
Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 18.88 mg
