Hi, I'm SueB

September 24, 2026··
Hi, my name is Sue, and I've been on many different antipsychotics and mood stabilizers for about 40 years. I've been trying for about 30 years to get off of them unsuccessfully, finding very little help in the professional community or in the literature. Recently, there has been a greater availability of information, professional and community resources on the topic, as well as more peer resources, with growing professional and peer involvement, so I am hopeful once again. I can't wait to join this community, get to know people, and begin my journey.

Risperdal — 3mg — 2 years — planning taper | Depakote — 750mg — 30 years — holding | without clinician

Hi @SueB! I joined recently, too, and have been met with nothing but kindness and actual good advice. I am very optimistic that you will find the same here.

Withdrawal is not a preview of who you are without the drug.
Zoloft — 10 years, 50 mg — currently 22.5 mg — holding
