"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."

Sheila your path is the same than mine and the way you describe your W/D story is very moving.
I am still suffering but I begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I wish you and everybody here all the best for a happier life that we deserve.

Very shocking but all too recognizable story Sheila!
I remember talking on SA about one year ago about Kundalini. I think we have basically the same experience, I am also slowly recovering and now 4.5 years free of the meds. I am still confident we will finally heal and find a new, more spiritual road.
All the best, Claudius
Recovering from the ravages of withdrawal after 5 years on Paxil/Seroxat, originally prescribed for stress and, looking backward, PTSS.
Though it is hardly possible to get something positive from the utter hell of repeated c/t's and protracted w/d, all of this unnecessary, I still believe in the possiblity to emerge from this as a healed, wiser human being.

Claudius, your signature; "Though it is hardly possible to get something positive from the utter hell of repeated c/t's and protracted w/d, all of this unnecessary, I still believe in the possiblity to emerge from this as a healed, wiser human being." This in bold is spot on. WD is an extreme type od psychological conditioning. If our minds have been able to deal with this, they will be able to confront just about anything in the future.
Keep walking. Just keep walking.
Wow Sheila.......
Your intro is so beautifully crafted and impeccably presented! Such an incredible piece of work!
It's taken me some time to read your intro. due to cognitive and computer problems but it was certainly well worth the read. Actually, I decided to print it out so I could digest the contents without any distractions or interference.
With all that said, you have articulated many of the horrors that we experience due to the drugs as well as WD from them. I'm so very sorry for all that you have been through, the horrors you have encountered, the losses, the psychological, physical and emotional traumas of it all. It's been a long journey for you ......I'm very happy though, to see that you are slowly emerging from the "Hades" experience.
I know you will continue to experience further healing and ultimate recovery.
May the remainder of your journey be flooded with beautiful blessings to make up for all the past suffering.
Peace and Continued Healing to You!

Thank you for the very kind words, Samsara! I believe we're all going to have some pretty exciting lives soon because of the growth and re-wiring we're going through.

Thanks, Stan!
Cosette -- I didn’t know you had such a similar path! What a terrifying journey, n’est-ce pas?
I tell you, I have a very strong sense that you are destined for great things, Cosette. Look at how much you’re already doing, even in your sick state!
En avant!
