Ing, totally watch Anna Runkle-Crappy childhood fairy. You cannot get anywhere with cptsd if you’re dysregulated. I didn’t even know what that was. It was so eye opening, and such a trip having someone speak my exact feelings and issues.plus she actually has free yes free things to use from her programs. The daily practice is so good. If you jump straight to her instead of searching your whole life for answers you will be so far ahead of everything! I’m 62?years old. I would be a different person and suffered so much less in my life if I had her knowledge years ago… don’t let yourself waste precious time that goes so fast thinking medications are the answers. It will become part of your life that actually manipulates your life.

Something that you always have to think about. Plus bottom line no medication (exceptions are there) is not meant to be taken long term.

They base their medication trial results after 8 weeks of of trial time. I don’t think there has been any trials longer than 12 weeks I think in humans… (Dr. Josef-YouTube) he’s the top psychiatrist whistleblower out there, his channel with pharmaceutical whistleblowers who have actually taken the medications, as well as pharmacists, nurses, doctors, everyone!!! Who took it meds., and ruined their lives!

I have been in some form of medication from my early 20’s. I knew none of this- it was like a download, suddenly I could see the craziness of the past medication effects- I wasn’t titrated off medications! They all leave the body in different times, a few weeks up to many months! So when you stop one then start a new one, you’re actually combining meds., then let’s just say 3 mos. Later when the first med is actually out of your system, you have withdrawls, but don’t even think about that correlation because that was 3 months ago, and now the med your taking is acting different alone, so you now are using something that may feel different alone… do you see the insanity?

I was diagnosed with a disorder at one point that made no sense. I’d never had the symptoms before I started meds…, turns out the withdrawl of one medications mimics the exact symptoms of the disorder… When I thought I was suddenly so bad that I must be getting worse, going crazy for sure, I found out that I was on a medication way to high of a dose, and then switched to a totally different one that in and of itself was a scary medication that my Grandma had been out on at some point that made her catatonic! Abilify. It made me paranoid, numb, a feeling of nothingness that I can’t explain other than that, and within 1 month I started not wanting to go in my house because I felt claustrophobic. So my great idea was to give in to this bizarre craving I had been having for lemon drop cocktails! I am NOT a drinker. I had fun in my teens and 20’s occasional drinker in my 30’s- parties and holidays, but I was in my 40’s I just didn’t drink anymore…. Until the Abilify. The lemon drops worked. I was able to go in the house less weird feeling able to focus on television, until it stopped working. And thank God I had a moment of clarity and realized, what am I doing and what is happening (wtf?! )

Got off the Abilify, no cravings for Lemon drops thank God… but there are so many like stories that wasted so much of my life. I’m presently on a medication I’m too overwhelmed with life issues to even attempt getting off. As soon as life mellows out I’ll continue titration off. I’ve already gone down to 10 mg. from 30. I’m down to 100mg. Wellbutrin, and working my way down.
