It is the true teacher who leaves the class knowing they have learned the most.

Thank the weather spirits up there for bringing a little rain to replenish at least an inch of Lake Mead's frighteningly low levels last week leaving southern Nevada and all of Arizona almost no water so this is great! #monsoons

Such ignorance in education of health care workers when the FDA black boxed Prozac in 2004! The emergence within its first year of distribution of what we know call SSRI induced psychosis and Serotonin Syndrome should have immediately drawn concerns from ethical scientists.

For months I watched every lecture from every activist worldwide working on psych drug harm. Of all the many fascinating and hard-working folks, Dr. Moncrieff articulated the serious nature of failures so well. Whatever judgment people make, they make. I say brava!
Really interesting review of the implications of our serotonin paper including how the chemical imbalance myth has shaped how people think about themselves slate.com/technology/2022/08…

So that's benzo withdrawal. Negative freaked incoming Doom. About four more days I'll be in real dangerous territory. Closer you get to nothing the worse it is . it is awful torture. Embarrassing. The hypocritic oath? First do all harm?

I take 1mg Clonazepam only now. EPO, Neupogen. Promacta. Neurontin. Tramadol. Prednisone . Interferons. Oxycodone Lorazepam. Prozac. Miracle mouthwash Methocarbamol. 11, 000 usd per month. I stopped all, reduced the benzo from 5mg to 1. A few doctors said I need that 1 mg forever

Do not pity, do not try to help me, do not despair of or for me. Enough of that shit. I will live or die on my terms now. And I'm choosing life. Fuck US HEALTH AND BIG PHARMA. I stopped hurting myself, you kept on hurting me. Fuck them. Bless you. xo/m

I am nobody's victim. I am responsible for myself and the deadly life of medical harm (iatrogenia) is on them. There won't be justice. There never is. But there will be joy, for me. And I curse the harm doers. I curse them all. If you know a real doctor, I'll take the info.

This picture is thousands of dollars worth of mostly useless pharmaceuticals I spent years on, with two that actually worked and the rest benign, 3 extremely harmful and I got lucky there - I could have gone instantly blind as other patients have. I will rise up, I will triumph.

I'll figure it out. I want to enjoy these better times. It was MY decision to stop this stupid drug, get away from the other clinic which wanted to cut me open and that would have killed me. He told me in December I had mere weeks. I'm actually medically BETTER. Not from them.

What breaks my heart more than anything is the absolute lack of care shown to me by the person who is supposed to be helping, and I had to pay her for five minutes of her time and no counseling, which is not what she should provide. I curse her. She harms. She is cold. Therapist?

And that is to undergo Ketamine treatment. It's a series of around 6 guided processes under the drug and then follow up per month or year or never depending. I love that model. You're in, your out. I'm also calling Arizona Oncology to see if they can help with a referall.

I'm going to call @UHC again, they have been trying. They are not succeeding either. There are online clinics but the only ones that can taper safely are not covered by any insurance. They are drug dealers for rich people. Fuck that shit. The other legal option is less costly.

an SSRI (FUCK NO), Gabapentin (Useless) and Hydroxizine, which may calm me but will not stop seizures. They are not a good sign, especially that I lost hours and woke up on the floor once, and halfway out the balcony door on the concrete when Honey started yowling for me, sweet.

It is not my time to go. I know this, I will not die, I will try every legal source and if I can't find one, I will find an illicit one. I say this without fear of repercussion. If the law wants to deal with my sorry ass, they will at least get me a doctor. The NP insisted I add

I have called national, state, local resources from hotline, warmline, VA, all. They are all very kind, and are also saying I have to find an actual psychiatrist who knows how to properly taper long term benzos. I could use a therapist too for the duration of this horror.

I'm not doing well so forgive my rant. I'm in the midst of the worst kind of hell, and have had two seizures. my primary care called right away and wants me in the hospital. I refuse. I refuse to sit in a waiting room, lie in a hospital bed, die in a medical facility. EVER.
