hat tip and thanks to CEP (Council for Evidenced Base Psychiatry) for the video.

I’m reposting an article that was first published on Mad in America six months ago below as it’s appropriate to the topic of the video. I was on these drugs for over 2 decades. I am glad to be free of them now. I have more clarity of mind than I’ve ever known. I’m happy to be alive for the first time as well.

If I Had Remained Med Compliant…

. . . I would still be on a cocktail similar to the one I began to withdraw from 10 years ago now. I’ve withdrawn from:

Pills

  • 84 mg of Concerta
  • 50 mg of Seroquel
  • 200 mg of Zoloft
  • 400 mg of Lamictal

Published by my loud whispers of hope

I share my story openly and honestly to educate others and increase the awareness of mental illness, reduce stigma, prevent suicide, to inspire, give hope and let God's love shine through me and touch you. I finished writing, proofreading and editing my memoir in January of 2019. I am in the process of sending my manuscript to agents and publishers that accept unsolicited maunscripts. I pray my words will turn into a book that will inspire and spark joy and hope in the lives of many. Recovery and healing are possible. I am living proof. "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." ~Maya Angelou
