Wounded healer and how it pertains to protracted psych withdrawal http://wp.me/p5nnb-aZB

This is the archetype that makes the most sense for me during this part of my life process. It helps give meaning to this otherwise often gargantuan task of healing from the iatrogenic injury incurred from the psychiatric drugs. Many of us who have been harmed in this way are doing this together. What remains clear, however, is how distinct and unique each persons journey is. Even though the injury is caused by similar substances (all the different psych drugs) the injured autonomic nervous system manifests is a multitude of different ways so that we truly are all on our own in some deep and significant ways.  see here:  http://wp.me/p5nnb-aZB

You've really been through a lot, GiaK.  Thank you for keeping up your invaluable blog.  

 

I was reading a book the other day and I thought of you.  It's called The Alchemy of Illness, have you read it?  If not, I think you might enjoy it.  

3 Years 150 mgs Effexor

2 month taper down to zero

3 terrible weeks at zero

Back up to 75 mgs

2 months at 75

6 or so months back to regular dose of 150 - was able to restabilize fine.

3 month taper back to zero

1 HORRENDOUS week at zero

2 days back up to 37.5

3 days back up to 75

One week at 150 - unable to stabilize.

At 75 mgs (half original dose) and suffering withdrawal symptoms since October 2012.
