@MS-60663 2 ай бұрын

Don't forget that pain is not just a feeling. Pain is a sign of damage, so it's not simply a matter of willing pain away. Something is triggering inflammatory signals, which can cause periphery damage to surrounding body tissues. Pain also releases adrenalin and cortisol, which keeps eating at the body and nervous system, wearing out everything over time. Pain should not be tolerated for extensive periods, by toughing it out alone.

The administration of this toxic compound must be approached with extreme caution. The list of potential side effects is horrific and now, it is being stated, that there is no evidence of neurotransmitter imbalance in major depressive disorder. Cymbalta is very dangerous in withdrawal and no one is really sure how to plan such a regime safely. One has to wonder, after being on this poison for many years, i am left with myriad systemic pathologies, which have arisen due to the treatment based on an erroneous premise.

@LevelheadedMind Жыл бұрын

Thank you. My illustration skills are poor, so I will try. However, think of reuptake as release so when you block (inhibit) the release (reuptake) of serotonin then the available serotonin will be increased. Hope that helps 😉

@Shattered-Realm 8 ай бұрын

serotonin and numerous other neurochemicals are released into the synapse (the space between nerve cells to propagate signals between 2 neurons. All these chemicals are promplty removed from the synapse either by breaking them down or re-internalizing them back into the cell (like wiping the slate clean on a white board) the so they don't continue messaging endlessly. with an SSRI that re-uptake is partially blocked so the serotonin hangs around a bit longer spreading the signal.

i subscribe to your KZfaq channel and watch all your videos, That being said I have a huge problem with your semantical use of "addiction.". Since my GP prescribed a Benzo(clonazrpam). and I didn't go on the street seeking out klonopin, I'm "dependent" on this drug, which is a "medication" since I received this pernicious DRUG from a pharmacy with a script.Now I hear"neurodependent" as another euphemism for addiction. To me(and most people I talk to) ANY drug where you go through withdrawal to get off is addictive. It frustrates me when doctors play with words when discussing any drug where withdrawal is involved in getting of these "addictive" drugs. If you have read this comment to it's end I thank you.

Here's the answer: I've been on it for 15 years. No, it's not right for you. You will get stuck on it and unable to get off of it. The withdrawal is worse than benzo withdrawal. The last time I tried, It gave me severe akathisia and I wanted to die. Any benefit it may have at the beginning is not worth what it will do to you down the road... and no, tapering it slowly doesn't solve this. It reduces it some, but it still happens. Not to mention it only comes in 60mg, 30mg, and 20mg time released capsules so you can't really taper it slowly without breaking the capsules open and counting beads.
