Maybe I need to start taking them then. Imagine having a crazy sex drive to only be single. Not anymore

Psychiatrist rx clonazepam for complex ptsd, as well as sertraline. Limotragine and aventil for trigeminal neuralgia. All are long-term without any plan to taper or stop. I have been on for 5+ years. I'm supposed to take 1.5 mg 2x a day. I used to (up until a few weeks ago) only take it at night. Now i take 1 mg in am and 1 mg pm as my mum has been struggling with lung cancer and post lobectomy/copd difficulties. Trauma is definitely activated, and extra help is needed. I never go above rx dose and take care of myself as best as I can. It's an absolute nightmare for me (and those who love me) without medication. I am personally very thankful this combination of medication really helps day to day/life as a whole.

Thank you again Dr. Knuppel Be well.

Appreciate you taking the time for us out here living with mental health issues. I'm off to my first visit with a psychiatrist tomorrow. I'm not so much scared as I am relieved and ready to get myself back together. Thank you Dr. Knuppel

Good listen, my friend, appreciated. Cheers from Montana :-)

Remember point #4 and don't take this too seriously. I've made all the mistakes in the video many times myself. We often unknowingly adopt habits and mindsets that can seriously harm our well-being. Today, I’m using a bit of reverse psychology to highlight some of the negative behaviors we may fall into. My hope is that by recognizing these, you can start making positive changes in your life. Be kind to yourself and best wishes to you.

Really enjoy your content! Could you please do a video on chronic insomnia and your go to medications that you prescribe. Myself have been suffering for 4 years since stopping clonazapam. Currently only thing that gives a little relief is 3mg of Lunesta. This would be much appreciated. !!!

Much needed these days, thank you. I think a lot of it has to do with the notion that angry emotions always have to come from past wrongdoings, that it always has to be about someone else that (apparently or actually) did you wrong. What's helped me throughout life is understanding that anger can come from anything that comes your way, minor inconviniences. It doesn't have to make you explode or anything, and with that said, it helps you not constantly blame that other person or event for your anger whenever it shows up. It gives you ownership, a sense that it's probably as normal as breathing; "it's just me", "I'm just having a bad day, that's all".

this soo perfect thank you number one is my biggest problem.

I understand this video is meant to help people, however it's irritating to listen to you describe people who have had trauma and are stuck in a poor cycle. Some of these cycles you describe people won't ever get out of till they die. It's very pretensions advice considering most homeless people don't have access to the healthy things.

Zoloft 15 years. Last years side effects and numb. Adverse reaction. Tapered off too fast by Dr. 10 months off its been hell. Went to hospital 2 times. Horrible WD/neuro toxic injury. Constant Head pressure, burning squeeze nerv pain, body ache, housebound. Cant work. Feels like brain damage. Can I heal?

People do recover from PSSD :)

Just adding my 2 cents to this, I was diagnosed with ADHD since my 5-6 years old, took Ritalin for a short period (my father decided I should not take it), now at my 34 years old, after suddenly remembering that I had ADHD as a kid, I consulted with 2 psychiatrists and 1 psychologist, all agreed I have “adult AHDH”, my psychologist also suspects I might be in the autism spectrum, I liked she said to me “ don’t think you’re wrong or broken, you just have a different nervous system”. Based on this, and based on my personal experience, the keys for these medications to work properly are (I take Ritalin LA, currently 30 mg, but gonna increase until finding the “sweet spot”): - Exercise, I go to the gym 4 days a week and a 5th just 25 min of cardio. - Diet, for me a gluten and dairy free works. (You have to confirm, but I think you should even avoid chocolate while on the effect of the meds.) - Psychotherapy, meds alone are not enough. - Avoid vitamin C while on the effect of meds, I literally had to stop adding ketchup to my eggs in the morning cause they have vitamin c (even worse as these are “processed tomatoes”), there is an interaction between vitamin c and Ritalin. - Check possible interactions, these medications can have interactions with different foods, supplements, etc. or with other medications. - And the most important, check, double check, and check again, because you might not even have ADHD, there are a lot of different “mental disorders”. Keep it up my fellow ADHDers 🫶🏼

Hello, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Your video has given me a sense of relief, and I already feel a bit better after watching it. Lately, I've been under a lot of stress, mostly due to the pressure I feel about "choosing the right career path." The weight of this decision has been overwhelming. Since I was young, I've always been passionate about helping people, and I excelled in all my science classes. This led me to consider a career in medicine, particularly psychiatry, which I find incredibly fascinating. My parents have also supported this idea, as they believe it's a safe and stable career path. However, over the years, I've developed a strong interest in math and physics. Now, I find myself at a crossroads, torn between pursuing medicine or engineering. I've done extensive research-probably more than necessary-but I still feel overwhelmed. While I know that this decision isn't set in stone and that I could switch paths later if needed, I worry about wasting time. My perfectionism only adds to the pressure, as you mentioned in your video. To complicate things further, I have some anxiety around physics due to a negative experience at a competition, which makes choosing engineering even more challenging. I'm struggling to let go of either path and would greatly appreciate any advice you could offer for someone in my situation. Thank you again for your help and take care!

I really like my doctor. He has been so responsive.So at my last appointment I told him that I had been having increased anxiety and my mood had been in a decline for two months. I have bipolar 1 and have been stable for about 15 years. I felt that I was on the edge. He said that I was not severely depressed. After the appt I felt hopeless and began rapid cycling. I was having manic episodes and was not even aware until my therapist pointed it out. I was at the point where I was planning my method of suicide. After the manic episode I called his nurse and my med was increased. Two weeks later I am fine. But I have another appt this week and I don't want to share anything with him. He is a great doctor, and I can't believe that he blew me off. I think that I will tell him that I felt hopeless after my last appt.

Refreshing that you touched on Mindfulness. I enjoyed the video. Thank you!

How long can you take daily .5 klonopin before addiction sets in ?

Psychiatrists are cruel. They can force you to take their medications. Even if the medication has chronic side effects they will still force you to take it. It can be life destroying. Beware.

So all the symptoms of ADHD.

Thank you Dr for this very informative video. I havent had therapy in almost 5 years and had enough courage recently to finally reach out for help. Allot happened in life since last time i got some advice from a professional. I think I experienced ptsd after my wife cancer battle that began 3 and a half years ago. I seen a therapist not a psychiatrist previously. The psychiatrist I set appointment with is much older and hopefully i can vibe with him.

@JeffreyKnuppelMD Thank you for this Mine not sure, facing perfectionism OCD on trivial matters in life - from brushing teeth in the morn to arranging bottles in washroom to cleaning dishes perfectly to arranging closet according to colour, fabric and size to organising pencils beside laptop. The condition overlapping more with 'just right / order' OCD but there's no obsession of self harm etc involved. More like doing things 'perfectly' All things in life need to be perfect and absolutely perfect, paying lesser heed to more important tasks at hand - be it urgent work deliverables to critical life goals, often compromising the latter at cost of non-essential daily chores. Is this even ocpd? The expectation of perfectionism applies more to self than others Anyone relate? Any way out? And most importantly, the root cause/s behind this ineffective s hit Life's a huge mess, and utter ridiculous at that 😔

What about women who are going through menopause?

Great advice

Diazepam is the worse withdrawal I’ve ever done we don’t prescribe Xanax in the uk 🇬🇧 unless it’s a private prescription

This is truly an excellent video. RS. Canada

Wish you were my psychiatrist. Since Covid, hard to get an appointment with any psychiatrist. I've suffered from GAD, Panic and mood swings for most of my adult life. Some days I can cycle thru feelings of feeling relatively normal and then severe anxiety / panic several times. Really the only thing that has ever helped was Clonazepam but having an addictive personality (alcohol abuse when younger), I try to take it sparingly and then mostly at bed time. I probably average 0.5 mg a couple times a week but sometimes go a few weeks without. But one thing I've noticed is, it's supposed to have a half life of something like 12 hours but when I take it during the day which isn't often, I would say, it takes a good hour to have an effect and then after maybe four or five hours it starts to wear off, I wonder why that is? Wish it lasted the whole day. I recently tried buspirone which helped a little but increased my dizziness as well as tinnitus. Now trying Gabapentin, not doing a thing.

Both Lyrica and Gabapentin are horrible to get off of. Horrid withdrawal. I’ll never touch either again. Even missing one dose would cause huge discomfort.

Taking Lexapro currently. It's definitely taken some of the edge off of social anxiety. It's occurred to me that my anxiety is likely correlated with muscle tension and mobility issues I've been attempting to solve in the last 6mo. After finding some old physique photos of my back (2011 ish) it's clear to me that both the muscular/mobility issues and anxiety developed between 2011 and 2017. I served in the military 2009-2017 so this makes sense. Any advice for rolling back the clock on the damage a stressed nervous system does to the body? It seems to be a very predictable/common twisted pelvis, uneven shoulders, tight/weak thorasic spine and associated muscle/tendon tightness.

Wonderful discussion

Great discussion. RS. MD FRCS Canada

Keep up the work. Great quality

Excellent discussion. Thank you

Wonderful discussion

Terrific talk. Thank you

Very, very good and relevant video. Great video

Great talk. Thank you.

Thank you for your help!

Nardil saved my life after I suffered atypical depression for 9 years in my 20s. I have taken it consistently-except through two pregnancies-for 35 years. I am very worried about the consequences of such long term use, but I can find very little research on this issue. I had a hypertensive crisis in my early 50s that resulted in a brain hemorrhage and neurosurgery. Still, my quality of life is far better on it than off it.

Valium works yo relax my scoliosis and helps me stop bring anxious do I can focus to work. If I take more than 5mg at once I’ll feel drowsy and need to sleep. I have never gotten high from Valium. It’s useful and it seems to scare doctors to death (similar to prescribing morphine 😂). It’s a good drug. I am limited to 50 every 6 months only. I self regulate. Luckily I have a very good doctor.

Hello, my friend. I have been diagnosed with EUPD MDD C-PTSD. I also struggle with psychotic episodes which of course I am now stable. It took a long time to become stable and get the right medication to work for me. I am on 150 mg Of Quetiopine and 90 mg of duloxetine I struggle with a very low sex drive of watching your video thinking about stopping taking my medication even for a few days scares me as I don’t want to go back to where I was before I suffer constantly with anxiety I’m mean of course I would love to have a good sex drive but I feel like I have been chemically castrated it’s horrible. I have been thinking about going to see my GP. Thank you for the video. I enjoyed watching it.

Excellent reminders…my wife and I of 30 years have both spent time tripping up over these things sometimes. Thankfully we’ve learned how to recognize the lite fuse and snuff it out before it’s too late:)

Can i take xanax on SoS basis? I have insomnia and don't want to get addicted to any medication... however, sometimes when i don't get sleep for 3-4 days straight, i have to pop up a zolpidem 10 or alpazolam 0.5 ... and i get 6 hours sleep... so can i get addicted to drugs even if i take them with a gap of 2-3 days or so???

What about a psychiatrist who takes days to respond to texts?sometimes I’ll need a refill and I don’t hear back until I send a second reminder. What is the protocol for responding to messages? 24 hours?

Can you drink while on pregabalin?

I was looking for information But i found a handsome man 😍

I vaguely remember hearing about the Mark Cuban enterprise. WOW. Prices are crazy. $15 for 30 days of Seroquel XR!

There aren't enough licensed doctors and especially psychiatrists on youtube. I hope you continue.

Isn't there a place for this class of drugs in bipolar disorder? Antipsychotics seem much worse so far as antimuscarinic effects, which most likely does lead to dementia. SSRIs and SNRIs are not an option for many due to mood instability. In my personal experience, withdrawal from antipsychotics is just as bad as benzos. I've often wondered if the anti-benzo stance of the past decade is a moral panic of sorts. Those with bipolar who are stable on lithium for example don't have many good choices for anxiety. Even anticonvulsants that can help have major cognitive side effects that for many make day-to-day life difficult. Can we really say quetiapine is safer than clonazepam?

Thank you.

Great information! I have ADHD and GAD. Plenty of genetic presentation of both in family history. I find it very helpful to understand these disorders in-depth so I better understand why I am disturbed, distracted, irrationally worried, or obsessed at a given time or over a given incident. I appreciate your work here!
