Hello psychiatric survivor family, My psychiatric survivor poetry book and creative guide is officially available, live on Amazon. As you may have heard, a good chunk of these poems came to me over 20 years ago when I was on 7 psychiatric (and other) pharmaceuticals and having a drug fever called neuroleptic malignant syndrome. I Read More

The number of requests I’ve been getting lately for free sessions and even free books has been growing to the point of being completely unmanageable for me to even have the bandwidth to respond.

Psych med withdrawal 101: (That your doctor probably won’t tell you) -go slowly   -taper one drug at a time. Wait at least 2 weeks between each reduction   -if withdrawal effects are too intense, slow down or go back up   -any extreme symptoms you have from withdrawal are NOT your diagnosis, baseline or Read More
