A collection of my favorite posts on my life and journey that don’t concentrate exclusively on withdrawal in chronological order since I started my blog. My views have not all remained completely stagnant. I’m on a evolving journey. For info on withdrawal in particular see the “About” page.
Update: for clarifications sake about the journey I am now facing I’m linking to this first post out of chronological order because I think it’s important to know I’m not dealing with depression I’m dealing with drug induced chronic fatigue.
So I start my story with where I am today 5/31/08 because it sheds light on my whole journey. Fatigue has been the major issue since my withdrawals began. The rest of the links are in from the beginning of my blog to the most recent posts.
100 things about me Part 1 and Part 2
Getting my old psychiatric records
On another psychiatrist I had only a little while –I found someone much better down the line
Excellent guest writer more of this Steve Morgan here and here.
It’s too late for me. I was yanked off of klonopin in October pretty much cold turkey. Other antidepressants before that. I am on a small amount of ativan and a small amount of an MAOI which I am trying to get off of. I can hardly walk up my driveway let alone get to a naturopath who says he can help me. Just waiting to die. Does anyone know of other people in this situation that survived?
janek,
It’s not too late…I do know of people who have survived…look at this post:
http://bipolarblast.wordpress.com/2007/05/02/a-support-group-for-those-looking-for-natural-alternatives-for-psychiatric-care/
In the support groups listed you will find many people who have suffered as you are suffering and those who have recovered.
I hope to see you there as I’m a member of all of them…
I too am suffering and expect relief because I’ve seen again an again that people do indeed recover.
