Sorry I have no idea about the fibro thing. For some reason I never had much physical pain in WD.
Hey Moui,

another year I predict I will be fully recovered. It has now been about 21 months since I quickly, under the care of an "alternative medicine clinic", tapered off the drugs. I am doing much better now and have seen progress, especially when I modified my diet, added certain supplements, tapped into the energy of Mother Nature and my fellow human beings, and perhaps some other things. I recently went out with a girl who I hadnt seen in a few years and I can honestly say I really like her and feel something for her. Why is this important? It is important because many people, including myself, have wondered, "will I be able to love again? Will I have emotions again? Am I permanently damaged?" I thought all these things and concluded I wont love for a long time because I am broken and damaged by the withdrawal, however, it appears to not be true. That is not to say that the drugs did not affect my ability to love, but this problems seems to be resolved, at least mostly. I feel a big attraction to this girl and so I know I can love again.

I would say my main issues currently are: fatigue, cognitive functioning, low mood, some body pains like mentioned previously, and maybe one or two more things. I know I will continue to heal...oh and still sensitive to stress although not as bad....as i have seen improvement AND, most importantly, I BELIEVE I will heal. Often, the victims of psychiatry lose hope and symptoms last for years and years and perhaps even get worse. But, one can never give up. I have an inner flame that burns and, after reading and reading and talking to many people, I now believe that we can heal from anything, including psychiatric drug withdrawal.

I dont update my progress much because I am not out of the woods...yet. Moreover, I still have major stressful events occurring in my life and I often struggle with my own mind so I tend to stay to myself a lot. But, one day I will prepare something special for everyone out there on these Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal Message boards, mark my words. I will put together some special words and a story of my healing because I will heal as everyone else will.
