For the Attention of Stan

[Iggy131313]

Year Akathisia has just posted on PP, I dont know if you read there Stan but I didnt want you to miss this


Being in communication with others that had "severe" akathisia I noticed one thing in common.
Those that kept trying more drugs and trying to fix it ended up worse. Those that did not told me they were improving. Stan, from PP, was a good example. He kept telling to quit taking more drugs and I will be forever indebted to him.

you see Iggy, i have funs over the world; he was very bad when he pm me, i told him what he is writing today (after personal searching and experience since years), then i was banned from PP because i register to SA beginning, and today he has the same conclusion; i am glad he improved the akathisia thing
thanks Iggy, but of course, what i write is not always the true, i am wrong from time to time

I wont believe it, you are always right, Im sorry you were banned from PP, but you are about the most popular person on here, you saved yearakathisias life and have saved mine a couple of times, your nothing short of a hero to me mon cheri.

I hope seeing that post from Year has made you feel good, you deserve to feel good about yourself, Stanm please update us on your improvements recently, we only ever hear when people are feeling very bad, I want to hear some good stuff.

Stan, why were you banned from PP? I was too for a time, but I eventually went on the site....your help is truly welcome on this site and hopefully on SA, too, I have started going back on there, but I left there because I didn't really follow their taper plan. I wanted to limit exposure instead of continuing it for long points of time because at one point, I knew I would be delaying the inevitable.

I'm not Stan but I can answer this: Scotty doesn't like people leaving to either start or go to 'rival' forums. She banned Stan, Luc, Sheila and a couple of others when they started IAWP. Not sure who told me but I was invited here at that point as I was very friendly with Luc and Stan at the time (I'd like to think I still am). I even met Stan in person when I went to Paris two years ago!! It was awesome.

Some people say Scotty is on a power trip. I don't believe that at all. She really won me when she kept PP going and didn't take anything out on anyone - when her own husband was dying. She has her faults - one is that she is not a fan of natural remedies. In fact, I saw a double standard in her a while back. She talks a lot about the lies and deceit of Big Pharma and has mentioned the corruption of the scientific process - yet doesn't like anything 'alternative' or 'pseudo-scientific'. It doesn't really make sense. I put it down to the fact she is a nurse and works with western medicine all the time. The other thing is that while her son and late husband were both on a/ds (Ryan took Paxil and her husband was on Effexor) - and she has seen how they were affected - she has never, to my knowledge, taken one herself.

Banning me had nothing to do with starting IAWP.

I would appreciate if you didn't stir up this subject, Junior.

Moui hopes someday there will be peace negotiations between the 'rivals'. Scotty seems so helpful it doesn't make sense to me. Was there some bad blood before or what.. I know the adverse reactions are usually ignored many times there. Those 'took 3 pills- adverse reaction and still in protracted wd a year later'. I don't know if that's what it is. I don't know at all, but because of what I have experienced myself I can't say it's not.. If I went by my experience I would tell everyone that they can't take more than 5mg of citalopram and walk around functional.

It's nice to see more success like yearakathisia. You who have been on these forums and in-the-know for longer have probably seen this progress happen.. for me it's like everyone (off pills) is stagnating where they were a year ago. Or at least many.. there's those success stories but they are all from ghosts of the past lol.

Ha ha! Stan has fans all over the world! He is a well known antidepressant withdrawal advocate.

Thanks for posting this, Caroline! Very thoughtful!

[Iggy131313]

I knew Stan should see that sometimes you say something to someone in withdrawal and they never forget it and appreciate it for the rest of their life, I know that if I recover I will owe the poeple in THIS board my life, and that is no exaggeration, none, and Im sure that YearAkathisia feels that way about Stan, even though that conersation they had was years ago, he remembers it was Stan who helped him, who gave him the right advice.

Such a beautiful thing.

Stan, even Chuck Norris gives you thumbs up.
