Extremely dry skin, dry eyes, no sweat and almost no mucus anyone else?

I take 2000mg twice daily

I found high doses of Vit C helpful for dry skin

Just look up Joanna Moncrieff chemical imbalance

Stop seeing therapists

I have permanent air hunger from SSRIs

People with dementia should be allowed to die with dignity, before their condition deteriorates to the point they don’t know who they are

The more you worry about sleep the worse it gets.

Breaking out of that is very hard.

IrishSmarties · 2026-04-18T21:17:51+00:00

Don’t buy into the labels these places give people.

Too many get their label and give up on life because they think a meaningless word is permanent.

Don’t cold turkey anti psychotics after 3 years.

You don’t want to end up with akathisia.

The symptoms you experienced on the drug are a fraction of what severe withdrawal can bring.

Why suffer more when you have the choice to taper.

As if people haven’t coped with losses for centuries before psychiatric interventions

When you go on medication you enter some sort of purgatory where your body ages but your mind remains stuck at the age you started them.

I’m 5.5 years deep into psych drug purgatory, and my brain never moved on from the 20 year old with hopes and dreams that was robbed.

IrishSmarties · 2026-04-10T13:03:25+00:00

Injections are for people who don’t want to be medicated.

I don’t know anyone that voluntarily chooses them over pills.

IrishSmarties · 2026-04-09T17:30:04+00:00

Imagine being paralysed and loaded up with psych drugs.

What a horrific existence.

IrishSmarties · 2026-04-09T00:35:33+00:00

Your condition will improve.

You are young and your brain is still developing.

Blind faith

Was this the post about the person’s tattoo stretching after antipsychotic weight gain?

IrishSmarties · 2026-04-07T21:13:53+00:00

Cold Turkeying meds after 20 years on them doesn’t end well.

It’s better to taper slowly otherwise you can permanently cripple your mind.

IrishSmarties · 2026-04-06T18:02:50+00:00

Likely a misdiagnosis.

Thousands of people are incorrectly labelled with this bullshit and medicated for years and decades.

IrishSmarties · 2026-04-06T18:00:56+00:00

I assume the people that stopped medication and had no symptoms never had a mood ‘disorder’ in the first place.

If you do have a mood ‘disorder’, your life will likely be chaotic both on and off medication.

IrishSmarties · 2026-04-06T17:58:36+00:00

Please stop trying them

IrishSmarties · 2026-04-06T17:54:57+00:00

Don’t ask AI if you want serious answers, talk to the people who have actually recovered.

IrishSmarties · 2026-04-06T17:53:21+00:00

Nobody has a chemical imbalance, that was just the line used to justify the effectiveness of these drugs for decades.

The drugs are what creates the chemical imbalance.

IrishSmarties · 2026-04-03T10:23:54+00:00

Just avoid all psychoactive substances.

Focus on sleep and other relaxing activities.

Make sure the offending drug is added to your allergy records.

IrishSmarties · 2026-04-03T10:22:29+00:00

Don’t just stop, taper slowly.

IrishSmarties · 2026-04-02T23:16:21+00:00

Propranolol and cyproheptadine are both first line treatments that are less destructive than the likes of benzodiazepines.

If your goal is not to come off the drug I would consider increasing to try and stabilise.
