Thank you so much for your very thoughtful and clearly well researched response. I am aware of the work of Dr William Walsh and according to a Dr here I am someone who undermethylates. I am in the process of potentially adding micronutrients but I will continue for now with the dietary and exercise regime. Really appreciate your reply!

Thanks ebl. And agree with you. Definitely important to check all potential medical deficiencies or causes. I recently got smashed by fatigue and couldn’t run much and felt the depression starting to return. I thought it was a delayed withdrawal reaction but after tests found I had a zinc deficiency and had just been through a case of Glandular Fever! Which I am now – thankfully recovering from and getting back to the running and feeling good. All the best David
The same with me back in 2000. Our greatest lesson in life should be to question everything and everyone – as I say in my book. And learn to trust our own experience and what it is telling us. Also to get support from those who have already travelled the road we are travelling. Even if it’s slightly different. There are often common things that people do to get off. All the best.
Hi Aliminimum. I’m very sorry to hear about your struggles. I have tried as best as I can to put into my book the things that I think people need to do to eventually get off the drugs. This may include a switch across to the longer acting Prozac – however this is just my experience. There are so many other things we need to do to prepare. Only YOU can be the judge of what helps you feel better or worse. You must really have to keep searching and trying. And you will find the way. My book is only my guide to people as a psychologist and someone who has been through it. All the best David
Hi The Cat. Thanks for sharing the other linked articles around the chemical imbalance theory. I suppose it’s not so much that it’s not a lower level of serotonin being the issue. That is probably true. It’s more about elevating our serotonin levels naturally rather than through these terribly dangerous and addictive drugs.
So – that is why I recommend all the natural strategies that we KNOW lift serotonin levels in my book which are the strategies I use daily. It may require almost a form of mental, emotional, physical and even spiritual preparation for the taper. I tell people it’s like training for the Olympics and getting as many of those natural tools into play before tapering.
Thanks again for the comment.
Hello Danielle,
My heart goes out to you.
As a psychologist I understand how hard it can be to discuss these issues. My own story is on MIA as well, Part I and Part II, and Part III I am currently working on now as I taper very very slowly off Prozac.
I have heard the horrors from others about how bad it can be coming off the benzos. As you can see from the many comments, you are not alone in your pain and anguish.
Do anything and everything you can to give your body the best chance to heal and be resilient.
Read Dr. David Perlmutters books Grain Brain and Brain Maker.
Ensure you are taking high strength Multi B vitamins, vitamin C, Omega 3 (600-800 EPA) per day as well as zinc and magnesium. Light exercise 2-3 times per week, dont push it too hard as that can only make it worse sometimes. Increase your protein intake – all of the above is to help your body create serotonin and dopamine natrually. You can also try taking Tyrosine and 5 HTP to assist in elevating your serotonin levels naturally.
All the very best. Never give up. Focus on anything at all that can make you feel even a little bit better each morning. Go there and find the good that surrounds you.
I am certainly very uncomfortable when any client of mine decides to start taking anti depressants. I don’t prescribe them. I’m not allowed to as a psychologist and thank god for that. I just try to give them all options short of having to taking them and outline the possible side effects and long term problems they may experience plus the difficulty with coming off. It’s then up to them whether they decide that they will go ahead.
Hi Stephen
Fascinating study !
Well again proves that we are not really sure that it is serotonin that is the issue. Certainly agree that we don’t know how much the drugs are impacting other areas of the body and brain but we can certainly get an idea with regards to reported side effects such as sexual dysfunction, memory issues and lack of emotional depth.
I truly hope that more people become aware of their choices and seek alternative help before they decide to start with anti depressants.
Looks like you have your answer below. :))
There is a fair amount of support here. It’s 10 sessions a year in terms of government rebate for each psych session but it depends on how much the psych charges too. There are more and more apps coming up to help people and there are more people being able to access help through free chat help lines and phone services but this obviously doesn’t replace the benefits of face to face counselling with a trusted therapist.
Thanks for the comment.
Hi someone
Wow, sorry to hear about all of that. Just shocking the number of disagnoses that happen. And that leads to the whole issue of the DSM being the “bible” of what is considered to be normal. Great book called “saving normal” by Allen France’s who actually oversaw the writing of the DSM Iv – revolting against all the new categories being created to capture more levels of abnormality. Very soon we will be classified as mad because we choose to wear funny coloured clothes or choose to laugh at too many jokes.
Hi BC

Hoping this book will help many people who are struggling and get them to review very carefully the “choice” whether to start taking an anti depressant.
Hi Alex

Absolutely agree Fluffy. Having said that there are tried and tested methods that we know can help and I agree counselling – CBT, ACT and a psychodynamic approach all have a part to play as do regular exercise, close attention to diet including increasing the right minerals and vitamins etc etc. but totally agree that it’s never one size fits all and we must be the judge of our own experience and be very wary of any medical professional or otherwise who tells us that this is the only way. Especially if that way is anti depressants.
Thanks so much.

The journey continues and I am not using TRB supplements much but am expanding my nutritional changes including powerful green smoothies which one of my readers in Western Australia has had incredible success with. Too early to be definitive but I will readers know the impact in a few months time. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for the comment and adding to the growing discussion and understanding we all need to help with anti depressants and the withdrawal issues. Regards David
Hi Glaucus,
Yes absolutely agree with Laura. Completely open to discussion and debate about the efficacy of any means of helping and healing as well as how to successfully and safely withdraw from anti-depressants. All I can say from my own experience is that I noticed that by taking some of the road back supplements I certainly felt an easing of anxiety and James Harper, who has now also included a Saffron based product to assist those who need to stay on anti-depressants, is well intentioned in his support of people who struggle with these drugs. Regardless of whether they are staying on or coming off. I take full personal responsibility for saying the Road Back supplements have assisted me. I certinaly don’s say they will help everyone or that they are THE way to come off anti-depressants and I also don’t believe Mad in America are endorsing the products in any way but only sharing my personal experience.
Thank you Glaucus for raising your concerns.
All the best

I do believe that people need them and that we are all very different in the make up of our chemistry and how our background, environment and upbringing has affected us. Yes, I had led a fairly regular life before the panic attack however I also know that I have always been an anxious child. I remember at the age of 5 or 6 being terrified of being late for school, constantly worrying about things. It was there from an early age. Unfortunately, I can see some of these traits now appearing in my son who is now 5 years old and just started school and I will do everything in my power to help him build a strong sense of self and safety in the world.
I will be updating the post/article soon to let everyone know what has happened over the past few months for me. Unfortunately due to some major life changes, one of which was mentioned in the article of a separation and not having any of my kids living with me, as well as a major job change that in retrospect, was not a good idea or time for, led to some major anxiety returning. I did everything I could to avoid needing to go back on and it was a nightmare when I did however I am now beginning to put the pieces back together slowly again.
Hi there! The tapering was relatively quick. I started by breaking the Prozac in half and taking half each day for a week. Then I went to half every second day, then every third day for about 1-2 weeks. I made the decision after that to go “cold turkey” so to speak and prepared for the worst to happen but also fully ready to engage every tool known to man such as running, meditating, breathing deeply, mindfulness and CBT to keep me off. About one or two weeks after that last tablet I started to notice improved physical sensations and experiences – even the wind in my face. Visually, it seemed that the world around me came into greater focus and clarity than it had been for years. Strange, but that was my experience. I really do appreciate each day off the meds now. I am not saying it was a linear recovery, just as others have said on this site. I have had ups and downs over these past months, but I am noticing that as long as I dont panic when I start to feel less than fine and I immediately engage with exercise etc… things improve within a day or so. I am happy to continue with this – medication free – than bear the thought of ever returning to anti-depressants or anti anything for that matter. All the best, David
Thank you Tom. My memory has definitely improved! I dont need to refer to my notes as much with clients now and it is such a relief! All the best David
