- I thought I would make a detailed video about my reinstatement story and recovery timeline to clear up any confusion since a lot happened during that time. I tried to give as many details as possible without making it too insanely long. If you have any more questions, please ask!
Almost same story with me. No more ssri
Thank you for your story. Sounds so much like my story
You were medically tortured. I am so sorry. I hope you continue to improve, I am confident you will. Your amazing.
Thank you for all you share. I was c/t off a benzo in 2014. Three years of hell. I started tapering off antidepressant in 2021. As of August 2023, completely off. Now struggling hugely with intense anxiety and chronic insomnia. You give me hope! All the comments give me hope! I’m going to keep pushing!
How are you now?
@@Jack-hy1zq doing well, thanks! Still struggle with anxiety and insomnia at times, but nearly as it was. Time heals! ✨
7 months off for me and my windows are getting sooo good!
How you feeling now?
@@djammer @ Im definitely getting better. I'm now almost 18 months off benzos and almost 14 months off the antidepressant. I still have lots of symptoms everyday but a couple major symptoms have completely gone and I'm feeling "normal " a lot more often.
@@youghbaby what’s your diet like? How was/is your sleep?
@@djammer My diet is very clean. I have to be very careful because a lot of foods exaggerate my symptoms. I try to avoid most chemicals and try to strictly eat organic and I wash my foods very well. I'm very limited on the foods I can eat due to bad reactions. My sleep is sooooo much better. I can sleep all night again unless I'm in a bad wave of symptoms. Most nights my sleep is really good now.
@@youghbaby when did your sleep get better? I’m on month 2 and struggling hard to get 4 hrs
These stories are unbelievable! Obviously you are not alone, there is story after story here on youtube similar to yours. How can this be? Good for you for telling your story, hopefully the medical community wakes up and begins to believe and help those trapped in this nightmare. Best wishes Melissa!
That’ll never happen because the medical community already knows. I was told by a doctor and therapist that works a php program that they’re not allowed to disclose the truth and real diagnosis of people when it comes to things like this because it’s not billable to insurance. They’ve had to give bogus diagnosis just to bill it. The doctor told me the only time they diagnose borderline is if they really don’t like you. They’re also given huge incentives from pharmaceutical reps and companies to not disclose information.
I saw the same demons and black haired devil in withdrawal myself.
I’m in the middle of hell. After 12 months of zoloft total PAWS. I reinstated but it’s not helping. Four weeks no sleep extreme pain 🔥 and dark thoughts. Non functional. I hate retaking the poison that killed me. I’m lost. I can’t spend years recovering. I feel so angry. So heartbroken. I went on this poison for pms. Mild anxiety. Omg.
Hi, how have you been in the past two weeks? I hope you are Better!!! I'm withdrawing zoloft and xanax and i completely understand you. It's been só hard. I also have the same feeling that i'm taking a pill That is "poisoning" me.
@@alexandredelucca7523 I’m struggling big time. Can’t sleep can’t eat nerve pain terrible and dark thoughts. Reinstated almost seven weeks ago not working. Yet?? I can’t live with this pain it’s agony.
I tapered way to fast. But seemed fine and was off zoloft for a long time. Had no idea of protracted withdrawal. I think sun may have triggered it
I’m sending you hope.
@@alexandredelucca7523 have you listened to others stories??? I had no idea of this condition. We were never informed. Omg. They give these drugs to kids
What were your proctaded withdrawing sintoms? And when you starded taking it again, how Many miligrams did you take? Few months ago a cold turkey 150mg, i was lost... feeling phisically and emotionally devastaded... couldn't handle it. Then my psychiatrist prescribed 50mg. I had seretoninergic síndrome. I was more lost then ever... now i feel neurological pain, confusion...
Same hell off zoloft for me. Tapered too fast in the end. Refused reinstate posion again. Scared adverse reaction. But 5 months off cant handle it. Worse and worse. Cant be like this for years.
I tried doing the Romberg test on myself and got a positive result because my peripheral nerves are not talking to my muscles properly, thats what causes the fasciculations etc.
I was like sonic the hedgehog when I went to see my GP yesterday early in the morning at 7.52am. I asked him for some propranolol so he sent the request to the chemist. I couldn't wait for the chemist to open at 9am as I couldn't stop pacing around so I went home. I might try and pick up the damn propranolol today, also I want to get my haircut today but I'm really bad at waiting for stuff 🙃
@@justinoxley5691 🆙☝️You can always order from him, he's legit & reliable,he's got em magic shrooms,LSD,DMT and many more,try him today.💯
Im so sad to hear your story, so sorry that happened to you, doctors need to give the side effects upfront 😢. To feel like your going out of your mind and no pills help but make you worse is the scariest thing for a human to go through. Hope you will heal all the way and thank you for sharing!
I had that same 5 days without sleep by the last day i was losing it lol.
Excellent work.
Thanks for sharing your story, Our journeys are very similar. Would you be interested in talking? I have so many questions.

Hi, I listened to your video and im beyond speechless, how you went through all that and came out fine. God bless you. Just my advice if u don't mind, u need to detox ur liver now. Look up coffee enemas, tudca and aloe ferox, and castor oil packs.
Who is your doctor? I need this man
May i ask after the propanolol didnt work for your mental symptoms and you made the decision to stop all the drugs regardless of your suffering, how you coped with the fact that you had not had any releif from the mental symptoms the entire time, how you coped with the decision not to try anything more despite having no evidence at that point that they would ever stop, given you'd had them since the first taper? 🙏 Edit: still working my way through your videos so maybe the answer is there.
Thanks
I am going to be starting antidepressants tomorrow I am scared
Sometimes they are last resort, and can help tremendous. Are they last resort for you?
@alecempire8982 Yes they are last resort for me but I decided not to take them
@@MaryMary-of2um good call. Now deal with the stressor that's causing you issues. Usually some concrete steps in your life, therapy and before all else TIME will make you heal. Else you are going to have to deal with 10 other issues on top of your initial diagnosis. Keep yourself busy.
Imagine being a little Chinese kid learning English online from someone seeing demons and pooping blood
Yep that was what happened
I took most of the same as you. They mistook withdrawal for mental health. 32 years and they threw 3 benzos and antipsychotics. Parkinsons drugs Propranolol and z drugs and SSRIs. I was on the floor screaming with Akathesia 5 years. I tapered over 4 years. I was off the benzo and started Citalopram taper over 3 months. Now SSRI discontinuation on top of benzo withdrawal. Now I am screaming, vomiting, Vertigo, terror, Akathesia. I' on the point of suicide. Can I call you. I'm literally in one place screaming and spinning. I also had blood. And Dysbiosis. Dysphonia and other things.
Are you still alive?
Get on morphine ASAP
You need Jesus Christ not pills, get off them drugs and get saved. You may be depressed due to demonic possession
i'm not on pills, i was on them because I didn't know better and my symptoms are from withdrawal/neurological damage. I was not given informed consent and never needed the drugs in the first place. How do you know I'm not already a Christian? I'm not demon possessed good grief.
What a very disrespectful thing to say... What's wrong with you? Way to victim blame and degrade/belittle her experience while suggesting that being saved is gonna magically stupid the injury from these meds 😡😡😡 I can't stand it when people who don't understand just sit up on their high horse looking down on people suffering, saying "You need Christ" no you need to mind your business, if you dont have anything which can help which clearly you don't, mind your damn business take you're Jesus quote somewhere else. These fucking comments about God are so frustrating, like these are people really suffering and you're doing nothing but "You need Jesus".
You need an education. Go back to school and save your brain.
1 ambien would have helped for sleep. Not as dangerous as 10 ativans. What doctor would give you 10 ativans? So sorry to hear this.
Thank you@@rayettarydquist5727
