I was never warned of the dangers of these drugs and ended up polydrugged many times by ignorant and wreckless doctors. The people I turned to for help turned me into a guinea pig and their personal piggy-bank, like a guinea piggy-bank. I can't even call myself an empty shell of the person i used to be. I honestly wish i never would have tried to seek help because the help just turned my life into a never-ending hell. Makes me distrust eveyone and everything.

@@mihaitilting7081 this is my personal care plan that I've created with my mental health care team, you should work with your therapists, psychiatrists, and whatever other professionals help you with psychotic symptoms.
Anticonvulsants probably cause glutamate supersensitivity. "Mood stabiliser" is a dubious concept. Lithium maybe, but the others, take them for long enough and you have the same issue as antipsychotics.
In my case, I have been on psychiatric meds unnecessarily for more than 30 years. I have found that I cannot abruptly discontinue the last remaining med without getting intense physical withdrawal symptoms, which then lead directly to intolerable mental "withdrawal psychosis" symptoms. Therefore, I have devised an ultra-slow "hyperbolic" taper which will take approximately 7 to 10 years to complete. I am down to 11% dosage, and my taper might only be halfway done. I am doing well, but I do something I call "close self-monitoring and solution-finding". In other words, if I notice anything is significantly out of whack, I take measures to correct it.
Acute withdrawal from psych drugs when taken for a long time can last up to 6 months. Then there is the protracted phase which lasts years which is permanent brain damage.
Wow, you,re a revelation. I had an ocd cause of beying bullied, but it turned into multiple induced disinbalances & reflexes cause of strong medicines. I always has lots of inspiration,s ...

I had a drug induced psychosis, they put me on risperdone and propranolol .. after while I couldn’t take naps anymore and I couldn’t sleep without waking up every few hours. My doctor just told me to discontinue the risperdone and now has prescribed me seroquel 100 mg so I can start getting more sleep and etc but bro I’m scared to take it … antipsychotics already did enough damage to me and now they giving me more because of the damage it’s done
@@sackstoracks I detoxed off of it about a month ago, I used diphenhydramine and loratadine to combat the histamine reaction from the Seroquel, my sleep is hit or miss sometimes, but has grown more stable with time.

Over all once you can back off the over the counter allergy medications, your sense of self seems to return, my sense of smell fully returned for the first time in recent memory once I weened off everything. I still take melatonin and magnesium, and other sleep specific supplements, usually at much higher doses then regular people, but I feel much more sane and alive now.

Sir i have taken risdone plus one tablet one time for one month by mistake. I was ok only slightly depressed because of examination. then I stopped it.after stopping i face severe depression. After 3 months i am ok. But that kind of passion about life is missing that i feel before taking drug. When i feel myself again. Is there any antidote or supplement or method available for this.
how about convulex? Is it flatterig glutamate ? Is it same or like Depakote? Is it better to star tapering first convulex or first the antipsychotic - closapine?
After decades of experience I've come to doubt that antipsychotics offer any special advantage even in acute cases. Many other types of sedatives are effective at reducing an acute mania and psychosis alone without agitation is really not as dangerous as akathisia.
I like this guy. I came here shortly after watching his presentation on lithium orotate. I'm Bipolar (53 years old, diagnosed in early 20s), but since age 25, I'd go 7, 8,10 years without any hospitalizations, no meds. I was beginning to even question if I really had this thing called bipolar disorder. But it does creep up on you every now and again and it's mostly difficult to be the best judge of your condition in real time. Not impossible, but hard. I recently had another "relapse", but now I think I might finally know why, I might have to scale back on the Scooby Snacks, which I'm fine with, I was already heading in that direction. This guy is right, it's ALWAYS the pot that gets me as I love the stuff. I love pot, but I hate psych wards, I think I'm going to just scale way back on the weed, not quit, but really scale back. I'm doing all this while also transitioning from 1200mg lithium carbonate to 20 mg elemental lithium from Orotate ... Wish me luck, but also realize, I'm kind of good at not relapsing and this time I have some good anecdotal reasons to believe the Orotate may do me just fine.
I hope I can ask a question of you thanks for the info . My daughter had 2 phycosis episodes before she quit Pot . She was put in lamotgine and Resperdone . She continued to drink and did some Kratom . I feel like her brain over the last 5-7 years has always been on some stimulate . And that she doesn’t need these meds . She is being taken off the meds right now with Drs approval . I’m afraid of another psychosis . Could the Kratom and Alcohol been the cause of her Phychois after she stopped Pot ? I always felt like that was what cause the first 2 , thanks
i was forced to take risperdal then went on to have 4 shots of paliperidone. i had my last one was feburary, i didnt have schizophrenia or anything, i was in hospital due my eating disorder. i am worried its done permanent brain damage. i have severe anhedonia, lack of motivation , slow thinking cant concentrate,no periods , sucidal and imsomia. its now june and no improvement, i have no dopamine or serotonin . i am doomed and going to be like this forever
what is going on with me if i wanna do nothing on the benzos but even now that i ve been cutting some i dont wanna do much ....i do manage to get some stuff done now ...but when is my motivation etc gonna come back ????
Can you kindly answer a question about "Non-specific psychoses"? And "ASD-P or ASD-specific psychoses"? A study of 112 ASD participants states that 28% of those randomly selected participants experience ASD-p. What is the rate of success of waning off APs such as olanzapine for these specific patients? The study I mentioned distinguished between ASD-p psychoses from regular SZ psychoses comorbid with ASD (I believe 50% increased risk to get it if you are ASD) and from ASDs who experience no psychoses.
Hey. Ive been on antipsychotics for 6 years. Last year I was addicted to Ritalin 3-4 strips per day of 10 mg for about 3 months. I didnt get a psychosis. I just felt good. Im stopping antipsychotics now, Do you think ill be fine since i didnt get a psychosis with ritalin?
I quit seroquel 50mg cold Turkey 3 months Ago( doctor advice) im still suffering fromm quit uncomfortable widrawal. Insomnia, overstimmulation, paranoia, Anger desperation Dopamin craving. Althaugh improved gradually over the last 12 weeks. It still feel that im still far away from complet recovery. Im scared that this symtomes will not go away. Is that possible?
Just take your meds like your doctor told you and you’ll be just fine. Edit: I “cold Turkied” 20mg of olanzapine after two years of use everyday and I was fine.
I have been taking risperidone for about 1 year ago. Now about 4 days ago, i stopet takin it, but i still dont feel better. In about how nuch tine after i stopped the antipsihotics i will feel better?
I wasn't warned about Seroquel and left it 10 months been through hell and now my mouth I can't feel no taste no feeling of toungue . What should I do.
They gave me serequel for depression and not sleeping. 50 mg in morning and 50 mg Evening. For 5 months now. How to stopp. And how to sleep. From sweden.
I'm starting to taper but wondering if i should stop my supplement plan? I've been treated by an orthomolecular psychiatrist and my morning blend includes lots of B-Vitamins, I wondering if I should discontinue these vitamins while I'm in withdrawal since I've heard they could be stimulatory?
@@mybushdid_911 The thing with b-vitamins, as with any nutrient, are in getting the right amount, neither to little nor to much. With coming of off anti psychotics you specifically want to get a balanced amount of the nutrients involved with the metabolic complex called "one carbon metabolism" (vitamin b2, b6, b9, b12, the minerals copper, zink, molybdenum and protein) as this system generates the compound "sam" (s-adesonyl methionine). Sam is a cofactor for the enzyme COMT (catechol-o-methyltransferase), which serves as the major catecholamine catabolist (it breaks down the catecholamines; dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline). A nutritionally balanced diet is key for this. Also, you could get bloodwork to see if this is working adequately. P-homocystein and P-methylmalonic acid taken together gives a fairly accurate reading. If the tests show elevated numbers you could start with a b12 supplement and then add in the rest, which can be done with a good multivitamin.
Hello, I am diagnosed with schizophrenia. I have been told that I have to take antipsychotics for the rest of my life. I'm stabilised and I haven't had any psychotic symptoms since my first and only psychotic episode 5 years ago. I heard in this video that people who take the pills for the rest of their life have the psychotic symptoms which I don't anymore. Also, I have never had any drugs like marijuana etc. So I'm wondering - is it possible for me to someday live without antipsychotics? Also I'm not very happy with my psychiatrist, he refuses the idea of antipsychotics dangerous or bad and also he refuses that antipsychotics can cause withdrawal symptoms etc. (Also he is extremely unsympathetic😅).
Probably start with the Xanax first, as Lamictal is a mood stabilizer it might help a bit with withdrawals. I'm not a professional, but I am an ex-benzodiazapine addict. Lamictal helped me get off of Valium after 4 years of taking large amounts. I hope if she's already started tapering, that she's doing it slowly, I did it very suddenly and it was probably not a good idea. It changed my head for sure. Be careful. She can get off the Xanax, but it's important to do it the right way. Benzo withdrawals can be deadly.
Usually people don't think to quit until they develop other health issues as side effects. But some side effects are irreversible such as Tardive Dyskinesia.
Great video, some strange interpretation's, but coming from a medical background I understand these view's... Marijuahna use is not clear enough your talking about possible mixtures of 100-150 or more compounds , also, alcohol... eeh, there is a lot to be found in 'alcoholic' drinks, also in the 100 compounds. Again, it ain't so eazy...
Wait! Cannabis out weighed methamphetamine when it comes to psychosis? Are you sure about that? Was the Cannabis that was used after that person got off of antipsychotic medication, are those the case’s you are talking about? Cannabis out weighed anti Psychotic drugs when it comes to hallucination? I would like to know what type of cannabis was used to cause people to land in the psych ward? May you please do a scientific study on the use of cannabis and mental illness.
Just here to figure out why I don't get too high on weed, and lost any love of life. This seroquel will be the subject as to why I refuse to take just one more.
Many people have been on medications for a long time. Many believe that you need to be medicated for life. We don't believe this is true. We believe the human body is capable of healing and it has been proven many times. Sometimes when our bodies are not getting the right nutrients , if you have a heavy metal burden, mold exposure or other things going on , your body has a harder time healing on its own. With the right environment, and the right support for your brain and body to heal , you can greatly reduce and or eliminate your needs for psychiatric medications.

I am on antipsycotics since 2021. I had a psychotic episode in August 2021. I have reduced my dosage to 1 mg.. Should I Stop taking my aripiprazole? Will I have psychosis again
@@bystudy8041I was told that you have to gradually stop little by little , the doctor told us to cut the aripiprazole into half ( 2.5 mg) but during that withdrawal irritability, mood swing or other stuff could happen. But you have to talk to your doctor first!
Omg!!! Anything to make money. I feel bad for people who are suffering from the mental illness. Praying that they ll be okay and can live a normal life.
starting to doubt whether or not people with mental illness can even give 'informed consent'. the idea behind informed consent is that you are informed of the medication's effects and side effects, and their likeliness. people with mental illness can't properly consent(ESPECIALLY people in psychosis(disconnected from reality))because they're mentally ill. to understand the risks of the medication, to make a proper determination for yourself that if the unintended side effects DO happen, that you can live with them...all that requires a well working mind which these people DON'T have. system is a joke.
Good, except you might distinguish between an individual with religious frustration/problem/ unfulfilled, and one who has come through and lives at ease with religion as a profession, medicine, and benefit for self and others.
So, this drugs are supposed to stay in your fat cells, so if to say i was 70 kg and after i was put on meds for 3 years now im 93 kg (23kg only fat in my body) thats a lot of fat that contains antipsichotics so on antipsichotics you cant lose fat doe to biological changes in you ( not having dopamine serotonin and a lot of hormones required for losing weight) your blocked with antipsichotics in you for life? The damage from them if taking for to much time cause of your parents and retarded doctors your screwed? Pls if you see this coment sigfest something , im only 18 i cant be destroied like that for life , pls save lifes if you answer , what im supposed to do now to feel normal like everyone else...
at this point I feel so stuck that I just consider myself a mistake and either die from the elements in homelessness or end it all with a gun. America sucks but at least there are places I can get a gun easily.
i was homeless too, not gonna lie its hell on earth. DONT KILL YOURSELF! Wait it out, thats a one an done thing. You can make it to a life eventually. Have your own place, money for hobbies. Friends. Not if you do anything permanent.
unbelievably inconsiderate examples and casual attitude about mental illness... using examples about stopping antipsychotics would be like driving off a cliff???? we are looking to you for facts, not a blasé attitude and tragic examples
Completely disagree about your uninformed, stigmatic, and ignorant approach on cannabis. It is the best herbal alternative to antipsychotics. It is not for everyone, but not that many people go crazy from weed alone. So many determining factors are involved that are more risky than THC. On that note, thank you for encouraging people to get off antipsychotics, which are the worst type of medication for you. But you need to do better research on "pot".
I was never warned of the dangers of these drugs and ended up polydrugged many times by ignorant and wreckless doctors. The people I turned to for help turned me into a guinea pig and their personal piggy-bank, like a guinea piggy-bank. I can't even call myself an empty shell of the person i used to be. I honestly wish i never would have tried to seek help because the help just turned my life into a never-ending hell. Makes me distrust eveyone and everything.

I like this guy. I came here shortly after watching his presentation on lithium orotate. I'm Bipolar (53 years old, diagnosed in early 20s), but since age 25, I'd go 7, 8,10 years without any hospitalizations, no meds.
I was beginning to even question if I really had this thing called bipolar disorder. But it does creep up on you every now and again and it's mostly difficult to be the best judge of your condition in real time. Not impossible, but hard.
I recently had another "relapse", but now I think I might finally know why, I might have to scale back on the Scooby Snacks, which I'm fine with, I was already heading in that direction.
This guy is right, it's ALWAYS the pot that gets me as I love the stuff. I love pot, but I hate psych wards, I think I'm going to just scale way back on the weed, not quit, but really scale back. I'm doing all this while also transitioning from 1200mg lithium carbonate to 20 mg elemental lithium from Orotate ... Wish me luck, but also realize, I'm kind of good at not relapsing and this time I have some good anecdotal reasons to believe the Orotate may do me just fine.
Good luck 🙏
@@theruby811 --- Thanks, the Orotate seems to be working great, I take 1 in the morning and 2 at night (15 mg.)
I hope I can ask a question of you thanks for the info . My daughter had 2 phycosis episodes before she quit Pot . She was put in lamotgine and Resperdone . She continued to drink and did some Kratom . I feel like her brain over the last 5-7 years has always been on some stimulate . And that she doesn’t need these meds . She is being taken off the meds right now with Drs approval . I’m afraid of another psychosis . Could the Kratom and Alcohol been the cause of her Phychois after she stopped Pot ? I always felt like that was what cause the first 2 , thanks
I swear this drug caused my alopecia
i was forced to take risperdal then went on to have 4 shots of paliperidone. i had my last one was feburary, i didnt have schizophrenia or anything, i was in hospital due my eating disorder. i am worried its done permanent brain damage. i have severe anhedonia, lack of motivation , slow thinking cant concentrate,no periods , sucidal and imsomia. its now june and no improvement, i have no dopamine or serotonin . i am doomed and going to be like this forever

what is going on with me if i wanna do nothing on the benzos but even now that i ve been cutting some i dont wanna do much ....i do manage to get some stuff done now ...but when is my motivation etc gonna come back ????
Can you kindly answer a question about "Non-specific psychoses"? And "ASD-P or ASD-specific psychoses"?
A study of 112 ASD participants states that 28% of those randomly selected participants experience ASD-p.
What is the rate of success of waning off APs such as olanzapine for these specific patients? The study I mentioned distinguished between ASD-p psychoses from regular SZ psychoses comorbid with ASD (I believe 50% increased risk to get it if you are ASD) and from ASDs who experience no psychoses.
Hey. Ive been on antipsychotics for 6 years.
Last year I was addicted to Ritalin 3-4 strips per day of 10 mg for about 3 months.

Just take your meds like your doctor told you and you’ll be just fine.

I am 65 and have been on Seroquel 25mgs for sleep for 10 years , I am trying to wean myself off of it ? 🤔
I wasn't warned about Seroquel and left it 10 months been through hell and now my mouth I can't feel no taste no feeling of toungue . What should I do.
They gave me serequel for depression and not sleeping. 50 mg in morning and 50 mg Evening. For 5 months now. How to stopp. And how to sleep. From sweden.
Someone I know was given Seroquel on PRN basis - a low dose - is that wise ?
If you wanna know more about it I reommend reading the book Anatomy of an epidemic of Robert Whitaker.
Also, Dr. Peter Breggins books. Will Hall, Laura Delano, Sarah Fay❤
@@pattaylor7298 yes they are good as well.
I am taking 2.5 mg olanzapine for last 2 years. I want to taper off. Whats the best way to do it?
11:04
12:32 - antipsychotic withdrawal feels like psychosis.
I'm starting to taper but wondering if i should stop my supplement plan? I've been treated by an orthomolecular psychiatrist and my morning blend includes lots of B-Vitamins, I wondering if I should discontinue these vitamins while I'm in withdrawal since I've heard they could be stimulatory?
Also wondering if there's any other vitamins I should withhold from taking during the taper?
@@mybushdid_911 The thing with b-vitamins, as with any nutrient, are in getting the right amount, neither to little nor to much. With coming of off anti psychotics you specifically want to get a balanced amount of the nutrients involved with the metabolic complex called "one carbon metabolism" (vitamin b2, b6, b9, b12, the minerals copper, zink, molybdenum and protein) as this system generates the compound "sam" (s-adesonyl methionine). Sam is a cofactor for the enzyme COMT (catechol-o-methyltransferase), which serves as the major catecholamine catabolist (it breaks down the catecholamines; dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline). A nutritionally balanced diet is key for this.
Also, you could get bloodwork to see if this is working adequately. P-homocystein and P-methylmalonic acid taken together gives a fairly accurate reading. If the tests show elevated numbers you could start with a b12 supplement and then add in the rest, which can be done with a good multivitamin.
Does it matter what kind of benzos i take fr the withdrawal success
Can cbd be a bridge medication?
Although I don’t think you can take cbd with lithium carbonate or lithium oratate because it can cause lithium toxicity
hi.. how can i contact you from overseas? the landline for your center is for US only
If someone is on injectables for 2-3 months what is an appropriate way to tapper off? If all signs of delusions or psychosis are gone for 1-2 months?
Hello, I am diagnosed with schizophrenia. I have been told that I have to take antipsychotics for the rest of my life. I'm stabilised and I haven't had any psychotic symptoms since my first and only psychotic episode 5 years ago. I heard in this video that people who take the pills for the rest of their life have the psychotic symptoms which I don't anymore. Also, I have never had any drugs like marijuana etc. So I'm wondering - is it possible for me to someday live without antipsychotics?
Also I'm not very happy with my psychiatrist, he refuses the idea of antipsychotics dangerous or bad and also he refuses that antipsychotics can cause withdrawal symptoms etc. (Also he is extremely unsympathetic😅).
Try ketogenic diet
I know this is off topic but my sister is looking to get off of 4mgs of Xanax and 100mg Lamictal which one should she start tapering first?
Be careful with coming off the xanax. Small steps
Probably start with the Xanax first, as Lamictal is a mood stabilizer it might help a bit with withdrawals. I'm not a professional, but I am an ex-benzodiazapine addict. Lamictal helped me get off of Valium after 4 years of taking large amounts. I hope if she's already started tapering, that she's doing it slowly, I did it very suddenly and it was probably not a good idea. It changed my head for sure. Be careful. She can get off the Xanax, but it's important to do it the right way. Benzo withdrawals can be deadly.
Lamictal was the absolute worse to taper off of. Not only mentally but also very much physically.
40 yrs of anti psychotic and antidepressants. Tapering off low dose abilify for 5 wks. Should this be a goal at this time in my life?
Yes. Get off. Good lord. How are u so resilient???
Consider taper very slowly, 10% cut per month or even lower to avoid intense withdrawal symptoms.
Usually people don't think to quit until they develop other health issues as side effects. But some side effects are irreversible such as Tardive Dyskinesia.
@@cuekinaja wdym "other health issues as side effects"
@@EvanRajala Just search 🔎 the name of the drug and "side effects". And then check whether you experience them.
Great video, some strange interpretation's, but coming from a medical background I understand these view's... Marijuahna use is not clear enough your talking about possible mixtures of 100-150 or more compounds , also, alcohol... eeh, there is a lot to be found in 'alcoholic' drinks, also in the 100 compounds. Again, it ain't so eazy...
How much lithium orotate is usually helpful for dealing with this situation?
Thyme tea is what he recommended… i assume
So canyoudrink coffe after abit of time?
Wait! Cannabis out weighed methamphetamine when it comes to psychosis? Are you sure about that?
Was the Cannabis that was used after that person got off of antipsychotic medication, are those the case’s you are talking about?
Cannabis out weighed anti Psychotic drugs when it comes to hallucination?
I would like to know what type of cannabis was used to cause people to land in the psych ward?
May you please do a scientific study on the use of cannabis and mental illness.
Thank you.
I’ve used 2 doses of anti psychotics. Do I need to taper off?
Can L- dopa safe to take?
How to reverse Tardive Dyskinesia?
Just here to figure out why I don't get too high on weed, and lost any love of life. This seroquel will be the subject as to why I refuse to take just one more.
Can you take ozempic and Ozempic together?
Huh? Can you take ozempic and ozempic together??
I have been on antipyschotics for 8 years.
Many people have been on medications for a long time. Many believe that you need to be medicated for life. We don't believe this is true. We believe the human body is capable of healing and it has been proven many times. Sometimes when our bodies are not getting the right nutrients , if you have a heavy metal burden, mold exposure or other things going on , your body has a harder time healing on its own.
With the right environment, and the right support for your brain and body to heal , you can greatly reduce and or eliminate your needs for psychiatric medications.

I am on antipsycotics since 2021. I had a psychotic episode in August 2021. I have reduced my dosage to 1 mg.. Should I Stop taking my aripiprazole? Will I have psychosis again
@@bystudy8041me to, pshychosis in november 21 ;(( i dont know how to get off risperidone
@@bystudy8041I was told that you have to gradually stop little by little , the doctor told us to cut the aripiprazole into half ( 2.5 mg) but during that withdrawal irritability, mood swing or other stuff could happen. But you have to talk to your doctor first!
Ok
this is not true i quit psych meds a few times in the past i never had any problems u have to gradually lower the mg u take month after month
Y’all are very knowledgeable but most people can’t afford your program, $65,000 are you kidding me. You’re about money not about helping people!
Omg!!! Anything to make money. I feel bad for people who are suffering from the mental illness. Praying that they ll be okay and can live a normal life.
Please lower your program. I need your program but can't afford it
starting to doubt whether or not people with mental illness can even give 'informed consent'. the idea behind informed consent is that you are informed of the medication's effects and side effects, and their likeliness. people with mental illness can't properly consent(ESPECIALLY people in psychosis(disconnected from reality))because they're mentally ill. to understand the risks of the medication, to make a proper determination for yourself that if the unintended side effects DO happen, that you can live with them...all that requires a well working mind which these people DON'T have. system is a joke.
Good, except you might distinguish between an individual with religious frustration/problem/ unfulfilled, and one who has come through and lives at ease with religion as a profession, medicine, and benefit for self and others.
Iv been 3 days without sleeping on a full does😢
I try to get off to ,but im to scared to not sleep😢😢
How are You now, You good? 😢

Im using Talo tablet...what is the last dose in that
It is not benefit for sure...but a lot of horrifying side effect. Psychosis are being one of thousands
Simplistic analysis that negates the psychosis as a cure and a way to reconstitute a dysfunctional ego consciousness.
Do you really need them? If they acting weird so were they... you asked for it psychotic depression a real historicity investigation in your life.
So, this drugs are supposed to stay in your fat cells, so if to say i was 70 kg and after i was put on meds for 3 years now im 93 kg (23kg only fat in my body) thats a lot of fat that contains antipsichotics so on antipsichotics you cant lose fat doe to biological changes in you ( not having dopamine serotonin and a lot of hormones required for losing weight) your blocked with antipsichotics in you for life? The damage from them if taking for to much time cause of your parents and retarded doctors your screwed? Pls if you see this coment sigfest something , im only 18 i cant be destroied like that for life , pls save lifes if you answer , what im supposed to do now to feel normal like everyone else...
at this point I feel so stuck that I just consider myself a mistake and either die from the elements in homelessness or end it all with a gun. America sucks but at least there are places I can get a gun easily.
i was homeless too, not gonna lie its hell on earth. DONT KILL YOURSELF! Wait it out, thats a one an done thing. You can make it to a life eventually. Have your own place, money for hobbies. Friends. Not if you do anything permanent.
My problem is I can’t sleep without antipsychotics. Regular melatonin won’t do and I become delusional as I start to get off antipsychotics.
Im having the same problem. I only take 2.5 of olanzapine. But have put on alot weight have you found any natural solutions for sleeping?
@@johannawickham5529broo me to ,exact same problem,i cant sleep without med, idk what do 😢
Me to i cant sleep without them :((
How long have you been on it ?
Try LASEA. Its natural but powerfull. Take it long for a year. It works after 4 weeks. After that you will sleep as a child!
Please help me someone
Are you doing better?
❤
I'm fucked.
unbelievably inconsiderate examples and casual attitude about mental illness... using examples about stopping antipsychotics would be like driving off a cliff???? we are looking to you for facts, not a blasé attitude and tragic examples
Completely disagree about your uninformed, stigmatic, and ignorant approach on cannabis. It is the best herbal alternative to antipsychotics. It is not for everyone, but not that many people go crazy from weed alone. So many determining factors are involved that are more risky than THC. On that note, thank you for encouraging people to get off antipsychotics, which are the worst type of medication for you. But you need to do better research on "pot".
What is your point 😂
What a betrayal. That’s capitalism.
thank you
