I’m so sorry for what has happened to you Robyn. I am currently at the 8.5 year mark of severe protracted withdrawal (which I refer to as a Neurological Chemical Injury). It is the most difficult thing I have ever had to endure in my life. I am so afraid. My issues are mostly cognitive. I don’t have a clear head and struggle to function at times. I am unable to work because of these issues.
You are not alone. I believe my system is still trying to heal itself. About a year ago I started experiencing brain zaps, which I interpret to be a sign of healing.
Thank you for sharing your story. I just want to reach out to you and to all who are suffering so much and give you all a great big virtual hug.
The solution, of course, is to treat these actions as the crimes that they are. That means sending people to prison and holding individuals personally accountable (that includes physicians).
Other crimes in our society are treated seriously. Why do medical crimes get a pass?
This is outrageous and very upsetting! I have signed the petition that Robert Whitaker mentioned in the article and I would encourage others to do the same. Here it is again:
