Psychiatric Medications are Killing Me.

@dfb what about a hospitalization where you can be slowly and carefully weaned from the meds that have been plaguing you? It sounds like you could benefit from a safe environment, professional/medical supervision for the “discontinuation effects”, counseling/therapy to address your past traumas and emergency intervention if needed. It could be like a mental health rehab.

Thank you!
Yes, that is a good idea. Unfortunately, very few clinics, never mind hospitals, will work with patients wanting to discontinue their medication. Then, they are very expensive, and I question their effectiveness. The longest I found was ninety days; the costs were in the six figures. Insurance isn't even an option. Follow-up would have to continue for months, even years.
Hopefully, in the future, mental health facilities will recognize the need for this service. I have detoxed from alcohol, cocaine, benzodiazepines, and cigarettes, and they were all easier and faster by comparison. They sold this stuff without giving any thought to the long-term ramifications.
For now, I am doing endless research, and my providers support me as best they can.
Peace and good health to you.
