Have been on heavy duty medication for ten years. Over the last couple of years Ive been coming off them slowly. And its a bastard. Cant just stop them over night. This leaves me with no sleep. Electric shock sensations under the skin. Blurred vision. A short fuse. Heart palpitations. And the strangest sensation in my head. Like its filled with sawdust and cotton wool. Not fatty watery brain matter. The only positive being a sharpness of mind which I know kind of contradicts the physical feeling. Like a writer shaking off writers block. My advice to anyone about to start getting addicted - on a physical level to anti depressants and or anti psychotics (and big pharma medication in general) would be to try and seek natural alternatives. Of course once at that stage of needing such medication it could be too late. Hearing voices might be OK. Even if its part of a more distressing experience of thinking your life is in imminant danger. Id have rather have been given the opportunity or be lucky enough to have a trusted confidant to have talked things through at the time. Without the intervention of an enforced prescription of anti psychotics and anti depressants. 10 years later and hindsight likes to play. :) On the brightside. I know of people who are still institutionalised. Some still having electric shock treatment. To the point that not only do they not know who they are anymore but not recognising their own family and friends. Very sad. Its with my experience of sharpness of mind. The ideas that flash before my eyes and refound feelings deep within that Im determined to come off them for good.
