Hi, I'm Spia

September 27, 2026··

Right now i am joining to look into research and wisdom on tapering off abilify for a relative. I am myself on escitalopram and had a horrendous experience with withdrawal from citalopram in 2018, which is how i got sensitized to the topic and politics of psych med withdrawal. Sending my best to you all - i will update my introduction at a later point.
