Pharmaceutical Addiction or Dependency?

There is a way to end pharmaceutical addiction or dependency. I’ll explain why you should work very intently at ending pharmaceutical addiction in this drug rehab advisor article.

Going to your doctor, regardless of where they’ve trained in today’s world, is like visiting a pharmaceutical front man. The MD went to med schools where the curriculum is 70% written by pharmaceutical companies.

If you’re hoping for an unbiased opinion, you better talk to a doctor who was trained in the 1970’s and preferably earlier. A western medicine doctor has been trained to symptom diagnose and not look for causes. Your MD has been trained through a pharmaceutical curriculum designed to sell a 1/2 trillion dollars of drugs per year.

Pharmaceutical Dependency

Becoming dependent on pharmaceuticals begins by not correcting a real problem.

Real problems usually break down into 3 different fields: Emotional, Physical, Social

Pharmaceutical Addiction and Emotional Problems

People do have good and bad times in life. Losing a loved one or losing hope due to a bad economy can depress a person. Being saddened by loss is normal. Not being able to process or work through a bad loss would require some help with special counseling designed to properly address those situations. DrugRehabAdvisor works with special counselors who can help with emotional upsets as well.

Pharmaceutical Addiction and Physical Problems

The most common cause of extended pain is car or motor vehicle accidents followed by surgery and a long bout of pain killers or psych meds. Psych meds are prescribed increasingly for pain as that’s one of the main functions of psych meds: pain killers and sensation blockers or stimulators.

Sometimes the physical problem of not being able to sleep due to pain will addict a person to pharmaceuticals. Other times people aren’t sleeping due to emotional or social upsets.

Pharmaceutical Addiction and Social Problems

The real problem may be social anxiety, depression, unhappiness. Or due to guilt or feelings of disconnection people feel uneasy and often end up with a prescription in their hand and pills they now believe they’re addicted to.

Social problems are flags waving that tell us we need to work on a part of our lives. Ignoring these red flags of social discomfort, we can and often do become pharmaceutical customers for life. Social problems have caused people much grief.

Fortunately social problems are best handled by living or by seeking specialized social education programs. Toastmasters, volunteering, running clubs etc offer incredible opportunities to gently work on gaining social skills – or social comforts.

Are You a Pharmaceutical Addict?

The majority of the clients who contact me are people who have been given palliative pharmaceutical or counseling treatment. Palliative care means moderating pain or sorrow by making it easier to bear without curing the problem at all.

Why do people become pharmaceutical addicts? Because the underlying social, emotional or physical problem is still sitting there stirring up trouble as soon as one attempt to withdrawal or detox from any pharmaceutical. This is one of the reasons why people are switched back and forth between pharmaceutical drugs. The problems was never resolved in the first place.

Ending Pharmaceutical Addiction

A very skilled integrative doctor plus excellent life coaches and a special health and detox center are often required to end pharmaceutical addiction. Don’t belittle an addiction or dependency to pharmaceutical drugs. These are the toughest drugs to get off of.

I’ve made my career around helping people overcome pharmaceutical addiction after I discovered that the traditional MDs and even the best specialists from Johns Hopkins, The Mao Clinic, etc make a mess out of a person’s health with further pharmaceutical prescriptions.

Getting people off of pharmaceuticals is a specialty which should be turned over to specialists in this field. To learn more about ending pharmaceutical addiction see the detox & withdrawal advice page on drugrehabadvisor.com

Pharmaceuticals More Deadly Than Terrorists – Rehab Helps

People taking pharmaceutical drugs and using other forms of allopathic medicine are 160 times more likely to be die than being killed by terrorists. Pharmaceuticals are 16,000% more deadly than terrorists. Yet trillions of dollars a year are spent fighting an enemy that is hardly on the radar compared to the number of deaths from pharmaceutical drugs.

1,000s of people in the US and Canada are dying or being killed by pharmaceutical drugs whether taken per their prescription or off script. Simply put, there is no such thing as a safe drug. Even Aspirin and Tylenol are responsible for tens of thousands of liver failures yearly.

Pharmaceutical Rehab & Detox

Rehab and detox for prescription drug dependence or addiction is now more common than illicit or illegal drug detox and rehab from stats taken through my office. What happened? Why are more people needing rehab and detox despite their doctors best advices?

Pharmaceuticals are not only being taken by patients more than necessary, the drugs are being prescribed and advertised more than ever in the US, and by association into Canada. One recent psychiatrist was recently called to court by a senate committee for writing 150 prescriptions per day. He claims he’s able to see that many patients – the government differs. Drug abuse starts at the doctors office, spills out onto the streets and gets into every-town USA or Canada.

Rehab and detox off of prescription pharmaceuticals has become a specialized affair for those seeking a smooth and healthy quick recovery. As 95% of doctors are trained to put people onto drugs, few of these doctors are competent in taking people off drugs. Some botch the detox even more by introducing benzo’s or other extremely addictive drugs.

Detox & Rehab – Losing the Pharm.

DrugRehabAdvisor.com was created specifically to help people detox and get fully rehabilitated back to health after years or decades of health mismanagement. More pharmacy often hides serious problems which are further ignored or misdiagnosed as disorders when they are not.

Proper detox off of pharmacy pills makes for a smooth life and lifestyle after off prescription pills. Some feel pharmacy will be with them forever. Others realize they get what they focus on.

Focusing on health will get you healthy sooner than attempting to avoid difficulties with prescriptions. Health is a science, it’s not a series of prescriptions to take.

Problems With Pharmaceutical Drugs?

Are bizarre and bad effects from alcohol, drugs or pharmaceutical drugs haunting you? Do you feeling addicted to those drugs, exhausted, having a diminished sex drive; Are you trembling, having nightmares, increased anxiety, violent or suicidal thoughts?  Did those conditions start after drug or alcohol use?

Do you have sleeping trouble, pains, nervousness or stomach trouble from taking pharmaceuticals or mind altering street drugs? Those are warning signs that something is wrong, but not with you. All those conditions I just read off are caused by pharmaceutical mind altering drugs – called psychotropics. Pharmaceutical mind altering drugs, psychotropic drugs are not safe, they mostly cover up real conditions.

“I’m beginning to think direct-to-consumer ads are part of the problem. By having them on television without a very strong message that the doctor needs to determine safety, we’ve left this impression that all drugs are safe. In fact, no drug is safe. We’ve not done a good enough job communicating that.”

Pfizer CEO Hank McKinnell, Fortune Magazine, “Pharma’s Annus Horribilis,” 27 Dec 2004, article by John Simons

You might be feeling alone in the dark and in pain because your psych, MD or drug provider is giving you worse problems than the ones you wanted to handle.

I think you’ve decided it’s time for a change of direction, that’s why you’re reading this right now.

Want To Withdraw from Pharmaceuticals?

Do you know someone who feels dependent on meds, drugs, methadone, street drugs? Who wants to end their drug dependency because they are having horrible drug effects or they simply want to get healthy while they still can? Is that person you?

Many people have gone to their doctor, psych or even to a medical detox to solve problems or try to get off drugs BUT left the office or detox with one, two, three or more psychotropic drugs they’re NOW dependent on.

How Do Psychotropic Drugs Work?

Psychotropic drug manufacturers openly admit that they don’t know HOW most of their drugs work. How could a doctor or psych know how to prescribe psychotropic drugs if the manufacturer doesn’t even know HOW the drugs they made work?

Psychiatrists and doctors openly admit they have no medical tests to determine if any psychotropic drug is needed at all, which one is right or wrong – it’s all guess work. Doctors are juggling effects, not treating problems. See article on how to withdraw from pharmaceutical drugs at home.

Correct At Home Drug Withdrawal

I’ve been working in the drug detox and rehab field for 10 years now. It’s safe to say I’ve seen my share of ridiculous, tragic and unbelievably foolish attempts to withdraw from drugs.

Withdrawing from Drugs At Home Correctly

At Home drug withdrawal is the process of either reducing or eliminating the use of drugs while one is at home or not at an in-patient detox facility or clinic. There are so many ways to incorrectly detox from drugs that it amazes me how far off people can go when attempting to get clean or off drugs.

Drug Withdrawal: is a process of taking a person off of drugs so they are no longer dependent on those drugs to function. Some people have seen horror stories of people going through heroin withdrawals or alcohol withdrawals, getting very sick, suffering, etc. One can get the idea that drug withdrawal is awful and something to be avoided.

Correct Drug Withdrawal: is the skilled and exact process of following specific routines, advices and therapeutic actions which will comfortably take a person through the transition of being on drugs to being taken off of them. While a person’s body and mind readjusts to ‘no drugs’ influencing their body, a great deal of stress reactions can be experienced.

Bad Detox / Withdrawals = Stress Reaction

A stress reaction is a body warning system that a major change is taking place. Normally, if you are under a lot of stress, you should be able to deal with it reasonably comfortably. You may need some extra sleep, more food, more vitamins, time to breathe, but you get through it.

If your physical needs are not being met; ie you have not had enough rest, your nutritional levels are not adequate to meet the huge demands of your stressed out body or mind, or there are a lot of toxins (drugs) floating around in your body, you can be expect some rough times ahead.

Withdraw = Toxic Stress

Drugs and pharmaceuticals have nasty side effects. Correctly said, drugs have effects that you don’t want.

Detox: means to thoroughly remove the toxins from a body. Now here’s your reality check. Pharmaceuticals build up in the body and are considered to be toxins by your body. Your doctor may not think so, but your body knows more than your doctor.

Drugs are toxic especially when their residuals build up in the body over time. Taking drugs for years creates a toxic overload on the body. This is called ‘body burden’, as the burden of drug residuals is so great that your body can not remove the drugs from it’s tissues or organs easily if at all.

Detox means to help the body remove the toxic burden of drugs from the body so that your body and mind can properly function normally and no longer be adversely influenced by the current or accumulated effects of the drugs no stored in your body tissue, organs, nerves, brain etc.

Is Detox Causing You Stress?

If your detox is stressing you out and you’re sick, can’t function, feel like you’d rather be dead, etc. you’re obviously under a lot of stress.

What you don’t realize yet, is you’re under stress because your body is not prepared for the battle royal that your body and mind or fighting. If you go into battle without proper directions, supplies, training and so on, do you think you’ll win that battle? Well the huge number of casualties in World War 2 and Vietnam proved that training, supplies and good intelligence saves lives. It also wins the battle fast and with no casualties.

Detoxing correctly is really about creating such a plentiful and healthy condition that a severe stress reaction has little or no effect on you.

What Is Pharmaceutical Drug Addiction?

Pharmaceutical drug addiction: the compulsive or obsessive and continued use or abuse of pharmaceutical drugs despite attempts to cease use or reduce use; pharmaceutical drug use is creating damage, ill health and social, financial, personal, relationship or business loss but, pharmaceutical use continues. Many justifying statements and excuses are given for continued abuse. Pharmaceutical addicts may become frantic if use is threatened to be interrupted.

Pharmaceutical Addiction – Poly-pharmacy

The first phase of pharmaceutical drug addiction may have begun as a legitimate use of pharmaceuticals. But use either continued past a reasonable time or the drug use now includes drug cocktails, called poly-pharmacy. The doctor has written more and more prescriptions to counter-act or modify drug side effects or effects. Poly-pharmacy results in worsening health, hospitalization, serious health risks and the need for expert medical interventions, to reduce or eliminate drug abuse.

Some justifications for continued pharmaceutical use / abuse:

  • I got them from a / my doctor
  • I have a prescription for them
  • I like the way they make me feel
  • I feel horrible / depressed / scared if I try to stop
  • I can’t function if I attempt to stop

Pharmaceutical Drug Addiction – Polypharmacy Abuse

Most people recognize pharmaceutical drug addiction when the person is using excessive amounts of pharmaceutical drugs. This is the next and worsening stage of poly-pharmacy addiction.

Abuse of pharmaceutical drugs is the extreme or excessive use of pharmaceutical drugs. Legitimate and prescribed drug use is no longer being followed. This type of pharmaceutical drug abuse is more easily recognized as drug abuse. Although pharmaceutical drug abuse is often hidden from others and even from self. People forget how many drugs they are taking every day. Drugs dull memory, feelings and even social responsibility. Drugs dull awareness and real perception.

Help For Pharmaceutical Drug Addiction

Polypharmacy is an indication that pharmaceutical use has become abuse. This abuse may have been started by in-expert medical doctor prescription. Often times people get hooked and addicted to these powerful pharmaceutical drugs. As their bodies become more tolerant to their powerful effects, a person using pharmaceuticals may start craving the effects more and more. These compulsive or obsessive cravings for pharmaceuticals is drug abuse and can lead to drug addiction to pharmaceuticals.

Help to end polypharmacy dependence or polypharmacy addiction often requires expert help. Minimally, this requires some form of intervention as the person’s life is under unknown control by these pharmaceuticals.

The Key to recovering from pharmaceutical drug addiction or dependency is intelligent and medically supervised intervention, step down and increasing health. Pharmaceutical drugs creates perpetual STRESS.

Overcoming Drug Induced Stress

Pharmaceuticals are drugs. Pharmaceuticals have side effects and often toxic or damaging results. Minimally drugs create perpetual stress reactions which result in producing significant nutrient deficiencies. Tragically, drugs taken can actually destroy nutrients in the body and make them unusable. The solution is to get expert help to get healthy again, detox and become less dependent on those drugs.

Pharmaceutical Detox & Rehab – The Cost of Doing Business

I have a great idea. Instead of putting warning labels on pharmaceutical medications such as Oxycontin, Ativan, Methadone, Prozac, Ritalin or other billion dollar sellers, how about offering detox and rehab to their best clients?

Drug Rehab & Detox For Pharmaceutical Dependency

Currently, specialized detox and even alternative rehab programs for pharmaceutical drug dependence and addiction are often required for drugs like oxycontin or benzodiazapines like Xanax or Paxil.

Why not get the pharmaceutical companies that print billions of dollars in profits for the sale of addictive and dependence causing drugs to their customers to pay for detox & rehab? Why would I suggest such an outrageous demand?

Pharmaceutical companies are already making a killing from the sale of legal but dependency causing drugs. What would happen if they also could sell known and currently illegal drugs?

Pharmaceutical Companies Stand to Profit By Drug Decriminalization

Some of the biggest vested interests in the decriminalization and legalization movements are drug companies, pharmacy’s, psychiatric or MDs who would be profiting by increased drug proliferation. Giving addictive drugs to pharmacies or pharmaceutical companies to profit over would be like giving Rockerfeller his own money printing press and asking him not to use it too much.

What do you think the marketing and ‘research’ arms, the Psychiatric communities, of the Pharmaceutical companies would do if they were awarded dominion over a multi-trillion dollar potential business? I know, they would be restrained by their responsibilities to their share holders to keep profits down and share prices low – not!

Pharmaceutical Detox- The Cost of Neglect

Is it worth it to neglect to get properly detoxed after years of pharmaceutical dependency or abuse?

Let me ask that question another way. Do you know that some of the long term and later side effects of pharmaceutical drugs is Alzeymeirs, Parkinsons, depression, memory loss, and more?

What causes these long standing side effects, often experienced years after taking those pharmaceuticals? The role and action of anti-depressants is to prevent metabolic elimination or detoxification. Pharmaceuticals either speed elimination, prevent absorbtion, destroy or replace vital nutrients. Drugs also interfere with hormonal levels early or late in life which produce all kinds of emotional and mental imbalances.

It is important to understand that the pharmaceuticals create these imbalances, and subsequent problems.

The Cost of Taking Pharmaceuticals

I’m strongly suggesting you factor in the long term costs or damages that pharmaceutical dependence can place on your current and future well being. Most people considere the quality of ones’ life is more important than material wealth. I would take it a step further. Why does one strive for material wealth in the first place?

Take a look at Medical Detox Checklist for further information on how and why to treat yourself extra special and get fully recovered from pharmaceutical dependency.

Ending Pharmaceutical Drug Dependence – Alternative Detox

Can you end drug dependence to benzodiazapines, opiates or anti-depressants? Have you suffered from all kinds of horrible withdrawal side effects when attempting to come off or even reduce the amounts you’re on?

If you want to get healthy and achieve a better state of happiness naturally, you’ve found the right website. I specialize in helping people get off of drugs and pharmaceuticals that others have failed at helping people recover from. This means that if you want to get off heroin or cocaine, you’ll be feeling great fast and be ready to succeed without drugs.

The detox and rehab centers I work with exceed the highest traditional detox and rehab standards. Simply put these alternative detox & rehab centers perform much better than centers you’ve probably heard about because they go the extra mile in finding and handling the real and actual health and recovery issues that people face.

Pharmaceutical Drug Dependence: Why traditional detox isn’t working as well as it could

  • People who’ve been on pharmaceuticals like benzodiazapines (Xanax, Paxil, Ativan, Klonopin) or opiates or opioids (Oxycontin, Loratab, Percocet, Percodan, Methadone) know the prolonged agonies of withdrawal and why they stay hooked on their drug of choice. Their underlying health problems are rarely found and fully handled
  • Benzo’s and opiates don’t cure anything and the manufactures of those drugs admit they don’t know how the drugs work
  • Anti-depressant drugs are less effective than placebo’s and running according to some trials on those drugs, yet anti-depressants can produce memory loss, Parkinson like symptoms, anxiety, depression, etc.
  • Anti-depressant drugs don’t cure any disease and the manufactures don’t know how they work
  • Traditional detox and rehab don’t rehabilitate the bodies health entirely or at all. People don’t rehabilitate their health in these detox facilities. The focus is on behavior & decisions
  • People’s health problems are not found and handled in detox because their addiction or drug abuse was the focus of attention

“All pharmaceutical and street drugs leave toxic residues in the body that continue to disrupt the hormone levels, emotions and significantly influence the immune system long after a person ceases drug use.”

Alternative Detox

Alternative detox & rehab centers focus on repairing underlying health issues by improving health rapidly. Alternative detox centers focus on building health up through nutrition, micro-nutrients, health therapies, sauna treatments, etc. Medical drugs are only used as needed. Medical drugs are one of many therapeutic tools and often a last resort not the only tool at the doctor’s or staffs disposal.

The key difference in an alternative detox program is that they are focused on helping the body detoxify from past and present drug use. Only a healthy, clean body can detoxify itself. Even a drug-free body needs nutrients, proper liquids, oxygen and exercise to function properly and eliminate toxins, chemical drug residues, and the by products of illness.

Barriers To Health & Healing

Unfortunately when a person is under stress or sick, the body produces substances that damage proper functioning. Some of these stress reactions result in burn out, depression, anxiety, lowered immune system function, poor digestion, bad health and so on. All these natural reactions to stress are similar to the effects people go through while detoxing from medical or street drugs.

The fact is you could be a whole lot healthier! Another fact is that it will take 10 times as long to get healthy, if you make it at all, if you don’t rapidly repair the damage that pharmaceuticals, stress or toxic residues have done. You need an abundance of health and healing to get well. Most people under estimate their needs for health and nutrition by 1/10th. Their estimations of effort or help they need is totally wrong.

That’s why people think or believe they need drugs to get well. It’s because they aren’t getting well doing what they think is proper health care. They often can’t perform some of these health processes on themselves, nor do they know exactly what to do and do it.

Getting Healthy With Alternative Detox Programs

I don’t just write about alternative detox & rehab programs, I make it my business to get people healthy and off of drugs. My purpose is to create a healthy drug-free society. That purpose starts by helping you get healthy and off of drugs or pharmaceuticals. I know how to help people achieve health and have helped close to 1,000 people find ways to get off of drugs.

I’d like to help you too.

Xanax, Paxil and Lorazepam Detox

Benzodiazepine drugsXanax Detox, Paxil Detox and lorazepam (Ativan) Detox: All of these prescription pills are benzodiazapine drugs. When benzo detox is difficult to beat, benzodiazapine detox often requires the greatest knowledge and skills of medical / holistic doctors. If you are easily withdrawing from benzo’s, you’re one of the lucky ones.

Xanax, Paxil and Lorazepam Abuse & Detox

Xanax and Paxil are abused more than Ativan, probably due to an excess number of these benzos on the market and in medicine cabinets. Many women especially, become dependent on benzos thanks to their doctor’s quickness to write prescriptions and neglecting to let their patients know about the significant problems which Xanax and Paxil can cause taken over an extended period of time.

Xanax and Paxil abuse begins innocently enough. Walk in with a problem with anxiety, sleep or panic and a doctor will start writing a prescription before you sit down in his office. No examination, physical, or testing is done to discover an actual cause of these and other conditions are looked into.

Detox from Xanax, Paxil or lorazepam often have rebound or reversed drug effects. The problems that you once solved with benzos can now be 2, 3 or many times worse when trying to detox from benzos. Benzo drugs have side effects that are experienced when the ‘potion’ has worn off. Benzo drug effects are most apparent when detoxing. Benzos can lead to many drug dependence justifications .

Benzo detox effects tend to keep people hopelessly dependent on benzo’s. Remember, a different type of thinking is required to solve the problem of benzo detox.

Finding and Solving Underlying Health Problems

The cause of many of these symptoms are stress and sleep related. Both stress and sleep issues can be generated by many many discoverable and treatable actual ailments. Many conditions are treated naturally with a change in social environment, diet, nutrients or exercise.

Ativan or lorazepam is a much more potent benzo and has a long history of creating drug dependent women since the early 1960s. The Rolling Stones song, ‘Mothers Little Helper’ warned people of the addictive nature of lorazepam. Today, big health problem are being created by lorazepam use.

Detox From Xanax, Paxil or Lorazepam (Ativan)

Detoxing from Xanax and Paxil can cause trouble for the person withdrawing. If they are having no problems, excellent. They got lucky. Lorazepam detox creates a much deeper problem with dependence, addiction and detox. Once benzo dependence is created by long use of Xanax, Paxil or lorazepam, specialized holistic detox programs are often required.

“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them”, Albert Einstein.

Detox requires a different type of solution than a pharmaceutical drug. Often medical doctors prescribe drugs on note pads after a 3 to 7 minute consultation. As a note, I spend between 30 to 60 minutes on pre-enrollment before I know which type of detox center or detox program will be required to resolve a real health condition. Further consultation, information and medical history is taken before a prescribed course of action is taken.

Why spend all this time on consultation before any services are started? Because I care and take my job seriously.

Detox From Prescription Pills

Your health, wellness and mental or physical stability is not something I guess and gamble with. I’m sorry if you’ve had others who’ve treated your well being with such lack of concern. I am concerned with your recovery and your rehabilitation. To understand what I expect from you before consultation begins, please see Drug Detox Advice

Medical Drug Detox

Detox from medical drugs should be done only under a doctor’s supervision. All pharmaceutical labels warn patients never to attempt withdraw from medical drugs on your own. If medical drugs were so good, safe or effective, why should a person be warned not to stop taking drugs? Is there something the doctors and pharmaceutical companies are not telling us?

Medical Drug Detox – Problems & Solutions

If you start onto a medical drug for emotional, mental or functional problems the chances of becoming dependent or addicted to that drug is high. Sleeping pills, pain pills and anxiety pills are some of the most addictive drugs. Most of these medical drugs are extremely powerful.

For example, Ativan or lorazapam is such a powerful drug, people are warned not to exceed 2 mg / day on first starting. Stepping down from Ativan is very difficult because a .5 mg drop is too much for many people. How does a specialized medical detox handle these problems?

The major problem created by anti-anxiety type drugs is that they are extremely powerful and tend to overwhelm the entire body. Many of the natural body processes are profoundly effected by anti-anxiety drugs including breathing, heart rate, digestions, thinking, muscle response, sleep, etc. Those little pills take over the function of a person’s physiology almost completely.

Most medical doctors have no idea how to do that. MD’s will advise you to take it easy, get rest, it will take time, wait, etc. In short, MDs really only give instructions on how to not get sicker, but few know how to create health now.

Specialized medical detox solutions are required to get healthy quickly. The fact that your MD is not aware of these only verifies my above claim. Call the Drug Rehab Advisor for Detox Solutions you can start today.

Extended Withdraw Symptoms – How To End Withdrawals?

Are you having withdrawal symptoms that seem to never end when attempting to stop using pharmaceutical drugs? How long will this go on? And more importantly, can we end these horrible feelings so I can stay off drugs? Yes to all the above. I work with many detox programs and natural medicine centers that end protracted withdrawals rapidly, sometimes within a day or so. The full treatment will take longer, but the awful withdraws are ended quickly.

Pharmaceutical Withdrawal Symptoms

If your feeling foggy, depressed, grief stricken, achy, insomnia, fatigued, headaches, hopeless, anxiety, nauseous, can’t eat or other conditions after coming off of meds or drugs months ago, you are suffering from PAWS.

The longer a person was on medications or street drugs, the longer their withdraws could last if they just do the usual and ’suffer through it’ or ‘take these meds instead’. Emotion adjusting drugs bleed people dry of natural health and well being in the long run. 6 months is a long time to be on meds. Years is a very long time.

Extended Withdraw Symptoms – Emotional & Physical Dependency

Extended withdrawal symptoms from pharmaceuticals can go on for 6 months to 2 years if one just continues to do the same things they’ve been doing – juggle medications, try to treat the problem themselves, take a couple more vitamins, etc. I’m all about more nutrition but, a different and more intensive approach is required to properly combat extended withdrawals.

The worst recorded withdrawal symptoms are experienced by people having to ween off of or withdraw from Benzodiazapine and anti-depressant type of drugs.

Withdraw Symptoms – Cause & Cure

The cause of PAWS seems to be a burn out of and burn up of the bodies natural ability to produce neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters aren’t drugs. Neurotransmitters are messengers the nerves use to tell the body how to respond to life situations. Crying all day because one feels bad is not the appropriate response to an everyday situation.

People respond strangely when their bodies and nervous symptoms aren’t functioning properly. Stress, accidents, nutritional deficiencies, toxic overload, drug or alcohol use or abuse, etc all burn out neurotransmitter function, production and replacement. Anti-depressant, SSRI and other drugs don’t build up neurotransmitters. In fact SSRI drugs create neurotransmitter deficiency. That’s a scary condition to experience and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

The good news is there is a way to rapidly build up your capacity to build up neurotransmitter production and get your body acting properly. We want you to react normally to life. Withdrawing from medical drugs sometimes requires nutrients, special holistic treatments, IVs, amino acids and integrative medical supervision to properly function again. See Integrative Medical Detox Advice pages and contact us for help.

Parkinson’s with unknown causes, will be on the increase if psych drugs are continually doled out to otherwise normal people.
