Has anyone ever had an interaction with a psychiatrist who was genuinely interested in discussing alternatives to psychiatric medication?

How can we encourage the withdrawal community and those offering deprescribing services to embrace patients over profits? We need more Adele Framers in the withdrawal community and fewer people who prioritize making huge profits off desperate individuals.

One day, perhaps sooner than you think, you’ll wake up and withdrawal will feel like a distant nightmare. Do not give up.

Many before me have succinctly discussed the waves and windows of psychiatric drug withdrawal. My brief contribution to the topic shares my thoughts on waves/windows and how Gabapentin/Lyrica withdrawal also seems to follow similar patterns of recovery.

Psychiatric drug withdrawal is very isolating. What kind of support did you find most helpful when going through such a difficult time? #Benzodiazepines #Antidepressants #Gabapentinoids

People should not have to spend thousands of dollars for psychiatric drug withdrawal coaching and support. People should always be valued over profits. I truly hope that those in the deprescribing community will continue to stand with the most vulnerable. #psychiatricdrugs

There isn't a single sentence in this article that addresses how dependency can occur within 2-4 weeks or how debilitating withdrawal symptoms can be for some people. #Gabapentin

Most doctors are unaware that Gabapentin can cause dependency and withdrawal symptoms, so they often prescribe it as an alternative to opioids to help manage post-surgical pain. Unfortunately, this well-meaning attempt to avoid opioids is creating a new problem.

Lately, I’ve coached several people enduring Gabapentin withdrawal symptoms after taking the medication for just 3-4 weeks post-surgery. Those familiar with Gabapentinoid withdrawal know that dependence can form after only two weeks of daily use.

1/4 - On the Need for Skeptical Psychiatry:
Our current understanding of the brain and mental health is limited. Psychiatry, as a field, should therefore be cautious in claiming that we have fully effective treatments for mental illness.

3/4 - As our knowledge is still evolving, skepticism toward what is currently considered "best practices" in psychiatry is warranted.

4/4 - This skepticism isn't a rejection of psychiatry, but a call for ongoing critical evaluation and openness to new evidence, ensuring that treatments truly serve the best interests of patients.

1/4 - 🚨 Public Service Announcement: Gabapentin is being prescribed now more than ever for people post-surgery. Unfortunately, doctors are not informing patients that their brain and body can become dependent on this medication within 2-4 weeks.

3/4 - Gabapentin must be tapered off slowly and hyperbolically. Most physicians won't tell you that you could become dependent on this drug in less than a month after your procedure.

4/4 - I’m tired of seeing lives destroyed due to the broken U.S. medical system and the lack of education surrounding the dangers of Gabapentinoid drugs.
