Although we wrote this post together, we have chosen to present the following journey through Mom’s eyes.
Mom’s Story:
After Drug Withdrawal
When my daughter was first put on prescription drugs, I truly believed she could just stop at any time, without any consequences, without any withdrawal.
I know differently now.
Withdrawal from prescription drugs was a long, dark journey for my daughter, Nikki.
It took over a year for my daughter, to withdraw from every drug and additional years to wipe away most of the negative drug effects.
Unfortunately, my daughter still lives with some long-term negative effects from the drugs she was prescribed.
Prescription drug withdrawal after affects:
First:
- Mental illness medication most frequently is not a cure for the illness, but a possible relief from symptoms.
Second:
- Original symptoms such as depression, anxiety and stress may return after withdrawing from the prescription drugs.
- Long term and permanent negative effects may develop from the use of prescription drugs, such as kidney disease, thyroid disease, increased suicidal thoughts, heightened impulse control disorders, tardive dyskinesia, etc.
Third:
- Many times techniques and self-care are not introduced as part of the treatment plan along with prescribed drugs.
- Without control and balance techniques in place, after withdrawing from prescription drugs your systems may become more intense than before.
Most important to recognize:
- Realizing the need to learn self-help techniques with or without prescription drugs.
- Acknowledging hidden triggers, such as chemical and food sensitivities.
- Awareness that self-care is important to your well-being.
- Challenges may occur with or without prescription drugs. You must determine which is best for your healthcare plan.
- Remember, there are no quick fixes.
- Understanding that living a healthier life-style may be a life-time commitment, but the goal is not to have it be life consuming.
Knowledge is key to wellness!
The goal is to live a happy and healthier lifestyle!
