I've been hospitalized twice, and both times were due to being suicidal from tapering too fast. I have learned to keep myself away from the hospital as there is not much they can do but offer more drugs. It's sad but true.
I understand your frustration about the lack of knowledge and support from the medical community. That's why this community is so needed and can help fill in the gaps. The real experts when it comes to psychiatric drug withdrawal are the patients themselves, so you're already among them! It shouldn't have to be this way, but unfortunately it is for the time being.
Antidepressant withdrawal has been gaining more attention in the media lately, and more and more people are being affected by it since so many are on these drugs. It's getting hard to ignore.
The best place for us to heal is right here - together - with people who understand and can provide the knowledge and support we truly need. 🩷
Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 16.64 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Synthroid - 25 mcg
