Hi, I'm GoldenClover

Hi @GoldenClover, welcome! I'm sorry to hear about what your friend is dealing with. It's wonderful that you're trying to help them. Can you provide some more details about their drug history and current situation? Are they currently tapering or are they off everything completely? What exactly are the symptoms they're dealing with now? These types of injuries can take some time to heal from, and healing is almost never linear. We here at Taper Community understand the deprescribing process because we are living it. Would your friend be able to make an account for themselves so they can receive direct support? We have many members who are dealing with various issues and can offer personal encouragement. Since you are helping your friend, you might benefit from this information that we have for family members and caregivers: https://taper.community/thread/ecea5d5c-ab7a-43f4-80b2-994bbee9fbf8 You can reassure your friend that healing does happen, but it takes time and lots of patience. Here is some information we have about what happens during the healing process: https://taper.community/thread/26b781b7-f7f2-480c-8bc7-b893e9b6f802 https://taper.community/resources/blog/windows-and-waves-withdrawal-pattern As soon as we get more details from you, we'll try to offer additional advice. Thank you for helping them! Catina 💜
