Hello Wacco friends,
Since I have been a caregiver to someone who now must taper off an anti anxiety drug (for medical reasons) and am witnessing the hell he is going thru, wanted to reach out to this community with an informational warning of the hazards of so many commonly prescribed and used drugs to treat a variety of concerns: anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, etc.
Most often patients are unaware of what is involved in using the drugs they are prescribed and what it might take to get off these horrible poisons. So if your doctor wants to prescribe you any of these psychiatric drugs and is not telling you that you will get hooked right away and you will go thru hell to get off, beware!!! enough info is available online, do your homework, seek perhaps alternative methods, and do not fall into this trap!
If any one here has some good info on how to manage such tapering, please let us know. We are on out own, my friend's mainstream doctors are not of much use here.
Holiday blessings,
Varda
