    And Stan, you did so well that day you came into Paris to meet me. If I hadn't known it was w/d, I would have just put it down to a bad back.

    I understand about the internal suffering. I also understand that doctors know very little about w/d. My own GP (general practitioner), who I have a high opinion of, says he's never heard of anyone having symptoms from small drops of Paxil!

    loosening of teeth

    a new withdrawal happiness
    as i have read, dry mouth and high stress often give loosening of teeth, the front teeth, inside of the mouth have the gingiva to the bone retracted; and there is not much to do against;
    as i have dry eyes, hope the eyes will not fall out!...

    Stan, seriously. LOL x Googolplex. It's been the funniest thing I've heard in like the last fifteen years. You have a great sense of humour.

    On a more serious note, you're doing *incredible* job, considering the roughness of WD. I strongly believe all the symptoms, including the one you just described are temporary. The thing is the body puts all its energy in fighting WD, and once it's taken care of, the time comes for more complete rebuilding itself. Stay strong!
    Keep walking. Just keep walking.

    That's terrible, Stan. ADs and AD w/d are hard on teeth. Samsara once posted that teeth are serotonin organs.

    What Luc wrote about the body rebuilding itself in stages is absolutely right. It's so hard to keep the faith for so long, though.

    "An initiation into shamanic healing means a devaluation of all values, an overturning of the profane world, a peeling away of inveterate handed-down notions of the world, liberation from everything preconceived. For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."
