Tapering Options- Always Hyperbolic Taper when possible
Through a lot of trial and error, many have found that tapering hyperbolically with the curve, watching the occupancy, gives the best long term results.
If you decide to abruptly stop your medication, there are dangers to yourself and others- potentially. The FDA labels warn not to stop the prescriptions immediately. Why?
Immediate changes to the brain's homeostasis can produce results of a varying degree to uncomfortable to rage to psychosis. When someone is in psychosis, anything can happen. Anything.. and they most likely will not even remember it. Lives forever altered because of a prescription. #InformedConsent

Black Box Labels
Were you told you were taking a Black Box Label prescription?
Why would that matter?
Were you given Informed Consent?
Did you talk about a plan on how to Deprescribe?
Are those pills going to be available for an easy taper?
Did you discuss hyperbolic tapering?
Did you discuss how these prescriptions can deplete your vitamins and minerals?
How are your hormone levels? Were they tested?

Short version- antidepressants alter brain chemistry.
What this looks like is unique to each individual.
Some will suffer emotional blunting, loss of interest, irritation, altered perception.
Many turn the spouse into the enemy.
They can present fine, doing their daily activities but you notice something is wrong and can't put your finger on it. It's very hard to live "in it" while not having all the tools to what has happened.
Why?

These medications alter hormones. They are neurotoxins to the brain.
Dare you to start googling your prescription plus the word harm, hurt, poison, should be illegal. You're going to find a community of people suffering, connecting the dots to what has uprooted their life. If your prescription medication has not harmed you, great. Your great experience does not get to discount people that are suffering and dying. With each pill you swallow.. a chemical lobotomy is possible. Key word- possible.

As is finding the root cause and asking WHY.
Is it anxiety?
Do you get nutritious food?
Sunlight
How’s your gut health? The brain and gut are connected.
Are you supporting your brain, like all the other organs?
Are your electrolytes in balance?
Are you taking a quality magnesium?
All of these can contribute to mental health, yet they are seldom considered. Instead big pharma pockets another customer for life or until their customer starts asking questions.
