I feel it in my chest too. I haven't had a SINGLE day off from it in 16 months. The weird part is sleeping habits. They seem to correlate exactly, if i can't sleep i feel it on my legs, neck and chest. If i sleep good and exercise, just my chest and neck. The front of my neck... it was burning at first during the actual withdrawals. It's getting better.. I've lost everything though including respect from friends. I was LOST for a year. 17 years prescribed valiums 40 mg a day. I'm in month 16. I'd like to share my story at some point. People will judge.. ignorance is bliss.

I had a great psychiatrist once who was very wise and insightful. She did not act as my therapist but when I saw her she was very helpful. She wasn't fond of meds but did prescribe them. Later on I met another psychiatrist who when I asked if she could help me find a therapist said she would also be my therapist. I knew that wasn't right and I should have ran right away. She did more harm.

Most overrated thing within psychiatry must be psychiatrists thinking they know what they’re doing

I went to a 10 day detox in FL to get off of 20 mg. of diazepam. It’s been 3 1/2 months and I have been to the ER 4 times for withdrawal problems. This has truly been some of the darkest days of my life. I wish I known.

I ran out of xanax early last month and had bad withdrawal symptoms that put me in the ER. I was able to refill my script the following morning and started taking it again. Ever since that day my xanax doesnt work like it used to. Would this still be considered "kindling?"

I have one word for those "DOCTORS" : BASTARDS.

He‘s my hero & I thank him with my whole heart for writing this book, as hard as it must’ve been! 🙏🏼🙌🏼

I made a study of psychiatric pharmacology a while back (lifelong special interests in psychology and medicine met the dearly departed love of my life who was on 7 psychiatric medications when we met! 😳), and these were my conclusions: 1) Taking more than two meds for pretty much ANY condition is going to end up producing more negative effects than it resolves. 2) Benzodiazepines have a time and place. Most of those times and places are for one day under direct medical supervision. Exceptions include emergency epilepsy treatment and a few rarely used pills for unusual circumstances (i.e. a plane flight or visit to the dentist which happens once or twice a year, or panic attacks less than once per month). Taken more often than about one day per month, they produce an addiction whose only redeeming value is it forces the patient back into the doctor’s office as often as the doctor chooses. 😬 3) Antidepressants all inhibit the reuptake of some amount of serotonin and norepinephrine. Antipsychotics also inhibit the reuptake of dopamine. That’s it. That’s all almost all of them do. The variation in effects between them is pretty minor. 4) Lithium is an exception. We really don’t know how it works, but it seems to do a good job of keeping people from attempting to self-end, and as it has been around for 150 years or so, to one extent or another (in its current use for over 50), we know what the bad effects are and how to minimize them. It should probably be prescribed more often. 5) Stimulants for ADHD are a whole separate category. Everything else; anxiety, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia; tends to bleed into eachother and produce fuzzy diagnoses with similarly vague treatments, but ADHD and stimulants are distinct. Still, a stimulant for ADHD should be considered part of psychiatric drug burden. 6) Prozac and Valium have very long half-lives and are therefore useful for tapering off antidepressants and benzodiazepines, respectively. Stopping ANY psychiatric medication should be done as slowly and carefully as practically possible; these things can hit you hard coming AND going! 🤕 Bonus fact: Clomipramine is the gold standard of treatment for OCD, and should definitely be prescribed more often specifically for that condition. High doses are often required. 🤓

Thankfully, I found out about this man & his clinics. I wish I lived in a country which had them, but a good friend in the withdrawal community bought Mark’s book for me! Thankfully! I’m trying my best to promote it & friends have asked about it! I’ve tried getting it into some of our libraries. I got a “not likely” from 1 and a “try again in a few months” from the other. I’m so grateful beyond words for this man & all he’s done for so many & for those in the years to come! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

your end remark sure is a summary of psychiatry. Total pseudoscience refusing logic of cause and effect

Don’t ever take psychiatric drugs. Their effectiveness is barely if at all better than placebo and your original problems are a cakewalk compared to the problems these drugs create.

It’s like having dementia, but, hopefully, you know it’s temporary...can’t find your right words, so you try to come close to what words are available to you in your memory, though you know you’ve got the wrong word. Can’t read or comprehend a sentence for months, etc... I’m absolutely amazed he’s doing this well in such a short time! I’m so glad he’s doing so much better! I could never tell he’s been through that hell! He deserves a Purple Heart & compensation of some sort! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

please God help

Advice: "take this medicine"

That's the typical ad hominem. Straw man nonsense. My last 'therapist' saw me as a liability and refused to see me AFTER taking me off valiums I took for 17 years. I'm serious. My life has been ruined. 16 months now I'm trying to get it back. I have 2 sons who watched me fall. It's FUC^%&% UP.

LISTEN. FOR THE PAST 60+ YEARS THEIR DRUGS HAVE BEEN DESTROYING PATIENTS LIVES. THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR MANY, MANY DECADES. THESE DRUGS CAUSE SERIOUS BRAIN DAMAGE AND MANY, MANY DEATHS. IF YOU THINK THAT IS AN EXAGGERATION, YOU ARE WRONG!

It’s too bad he didn’t have a copy of Dr. Heather Aston’s book. He’d have saved himself some of these problems. But sometimes we don’t find these things till later. (He really looks very well, for all he’s been through, but people say the same to me.) I know another person who had an attorney but lost twice! Taken off too fast by MDs & now she can’t work. Horrible!

I don't agree on this 100 percent. I'm a psychologist and I have been in therapy, too. But my psychiatrists have given me the most Insight, I' d say. Maybe this sounds crazy, but it is true in my case. Thank you for this topic, doc.

Odd how they do take away muscle tension in the neck & back & up your face, yet are not considered muscle relaxers, which I’d had, but didn’t work either time. I know of what he speaks. (He looks familiar to me, but I can’t say if I’ve ever seen him before.)

No! I had severe diarrhea! None of the 3 highly educated, smart doctors I spoke with said nothing about the withdrawal and said the drug will be out of your system in 6 weeks!!??

Barely satire 😂

THIS IS THE REASON THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 60+ YEARS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$¢$$$$$$$$¢$$$$$$$$_$$$$$$$

THE INJURIES FROM THESE DRUGS ARE HORRIFIC! TRULY A HORROR.

This is slight information though. Why would someone who used for a short duration have to do a long drawn out taper? This is a scare tactic video for him to boost his business. I don't dismiss withdrawals, especially for people who have used for a very long term and changed their brain chemistry, but he doesn't mention anything about amounts or duration of use. Money grab video. Join his therapy group!!!

LOOK UP "WHISTLEBLOWER." DO IT BEFORE YOU READ ANY FURTHER. DR. WITT-DOERRING IS A WHISTLEBLOWER. WE SHOULD ALL BE VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

How heartbreaking for these individuals. They are the most vulnerable among us, and some of them can do considerable harm to others, especially their younger siblings, spouses/partners, and no one more than the children they have. This is a social issue that is rarely, if ever, addressed sufficiently. Those fortunate enough to be born into wealth are often the only ones who get the care they need. The US is such a morally bankrupt, capitalist society where profit comes first and healthcare has become a term to gaslight the public into continue paying their insurance premiums or risk total and complete bankruptcy.

THE DEA HAS PUT A STOP TO THEIR RECKLESS PRESCRIBING. THEY MONITOR ALL THEIR PRESCRIPTIONS NOW.

WE ALL KNOW WHO IS TELLING THE TRUTH! AND ALSO THE SHRINKS DO, TOO.

Of course it threatens them. They DON'T CARE THAT THEY HAVE DESTROYED MILLIONS OF LIVES!

You haven't heard My Story, Dr. JOSEF. I GUARANTEE YOU WILL BE SHOCKED AND APPALLED.

I'd love to feel my family and friends again. Sertraline withdrawal took it away from me, four years ago.

Mad scientists, or adults who are still playing doctor like little children.

They are there for meds. Not advice

In Huron County in Michigan, there was only Psychiatrist in the county and she had a 70plus a day to get into the county. She was responsible for the all agencies in the county. At Huron Behavioral Health no therapy given and she would medicate her patients and refuse to listen to anything they say. She even threw a potent anti psychotic at me even though I was not a person experiencing psychotic episodes. I had my B.S. in psychology and M.A in Measurement at the time and she refused to take into account what I knew was true and accurate. She prescribed SSRI when I expressed struggles while I was living in a county that had no jobs and no transportation. The legal system and insurance companies are bedmates with psychiatric/medical model of mental disorders that common sense and patience is devalued. Sir, I am pleased to see someone who is speaking out and the overall use of medication.

The most overated thing in psychiatry is the doctors stigma against newer treatments. Get with it. Psychedelics are curing depression within one to two uses. But oh? No patients if they are cured you say?🤫

Paid by the patient not by the hour.

Psychiatrists go into therapy with their own issues

The psychiatric drugs don't work and they destroy lives. No one believes me but I have found a number of food spices including turmeric to be very effective alternatives. I am still tapering, as I expect it can take around 10 years to complete. I am down to 10% dosage of the last med, and I am doing great!

Dude can’t even fix his own hair to not look like Alf Alfa. Seems legit.

You're full of it.

People trust fancy uniforms and titles too much.

Yapathon from an unqualified individual

Your wrong. Meds help me.

This is a dangerous opinion for the general public. They are much better equipped to deal with diagnosed pts than any general practice M.D.

Adderall is part of this problem too. It has a side effect increasing drug seeking behavior. Its also extremely available to kids in schools.

True, my sil is a narcissist and has her psychiatrist wrapped around her finger.

10yrs ago i wouldhave told you benzos were neurotoxic. As always when big pharma makes a new safer thing it has other tradeoffs. The barbiturates were easy to od but safer long term. Barbs are still very popular in countries where its legal

WOW... that's a courageous statement THANK YOU!!!

All psychiatrists give now is 5 minute office visit and a new script for your antidepressant. You need a psychologist, mine has a PhD, to talk to you and give therapy.

These drugs blunt emotions, or worse. They don't treat any condition or fix any root cause. Psychiatry meds are a scam and so is the profession. Legalised pushers and chemical social workers.
