I feel that my symptoms are much different from other people, and it scares me. Most of my symptoms are brain related, brain pressure, weird brain sensations, heaviness in head, and all kinds of weird brain sensations, while most people complain about anxiety and insomnia.

Wonder what brand powder you use?

I went down every rabbit hole their is. The problem is we start hating allopathic doctors because their meds harmed us, only to be harmed more and more from functional doctors because they have no awareness of what's going on and will probably blame gut health, or SIBO or candida or leaky gut and put us on the intense protocols that our poor bodies can't even handle. I actually reinstated antidepressants and was pretty stable only to have a functional doctor put me on an intermittent fasting protocol and paleo diet to kill off candida; blaming my burning skin sensations on low b12 which I didn't have, telling me it's repressed emotions and trauma stuck in my body and I that needed hypnotherapy and psychoanalysis. I did all that and stupidly stopped my antidepressant thinking it would impede my healing only to be much much sicker than before. The ptsd I have now is beyond anything, I'm not only broken physically but mentally and emotionally. The only thing that is keeping me afloat is the hope that God will push me through this.

Great video

I live in Tampa. I would love to come to the Orlando screening. I just found your KZfaq channel literally about 45 minutes ago, and already, I am a huge fan of all the work you and your team are doing. Please keep me updated on when this screening will occur, and I am there. ❤

What is a mystery to me is why do some people quit antidepressants or benzo either cold turkey or after tappering and have 0 problems and others struggles for month and years. An example is my twin sister, who has been on antidepressants 3 times with 0 issues and barely any withdrawal symptoms and me having extreme sensitivities and neurological issues after taking an antidepressant for a year and tapering off.

I have ptsd from withdrawal. It was a horrific trauma to come off 1mg of lorazipam taken for 5months.

So true....... Fearful people leading fearful......people in terror speaking terror

You have COMPLETELY nailed my experience. Finally! Been searching for that person who says it exactly how I have been. Appreciate your time to make this. Wow it sums me up 💯

I love this so much thank you papa Dave ❤

Love this ❤

This was amazing ❤

We do heal ❤

Thanks for information.

Gj brotha. How do I become a peer recovery coach? I came off benzos (tapered), amphetamines, methadone 120/day (tapered), lyrica and multiple psych meds. I think I can really help people. I also put the fent and crack down in 2021.

If you went through this, my advice is NEVER touch alcohol Had a friend who did 3yrs taper off bezo, when drinking one night and it all became undone.

Why is acceptance and letting go so hard when I can understand that its harming me and I believe that? Its like the engage but dont push, i understand... but I still have trouble figuring out where engaging ends and pushing begins.

I needed this so much 😭

Benzos should not be prescribed, period. They should only be used in emergency situations or before and after surgery. People get them for what they think is a lot of anxiety only to find out they were a 1/10 compared to what happens later from the benzos. Not worth it. The scary thing is sometimes people can have years of debilitating issues from 3-4 week daily use (low dose). You have a gift for storytelling, some of the things you said and the way you worded them made me feel like i'm not alone in this. It's all too relatable.

I tapered from 10mg of V to 6mg in 3 months and got severe akathisia. Couldn't handle it and went back to 10mg before getting any relief. The akathisia did go away, but I still don't feel stable at all. Now what?

45 months off 14 years baby dose Klonopin …. very balanced life …. I’ve worked on the inside out… Probably the healthiest I’ve ever been. Still plagued with significant tinnitus, head pressure and various neurological issues. Didn’t have before I was cut off. Have spent 150k looking for something else…. I am not depressed not have anxiety . Is this a healed state in your milieu?

Love this. Yes we heal we just have to keep the faith. 🙌

I would like too book a session but I have lost everything

Yes! We really heal! I was 7years on xanax. Now i am 2years out. This weekend i was on my brothers wedding all day, i was organising meeting people, having fun, dance, cry out of happines and had the most wonderfull time of my life. 2years ago i wouldnt believe if someone has told me that this is possible. I am having a low days but i know they want last more than 1day.. Biggest help in my recovery are daily workouts and healthy diet.. Hold on guys, you will heal i promise! ❤

Dr. David Powers, aka Coach! Thank you for this video & inspiring us. I’m a member of the school and I can’t thank you enough for all the hard work you put into helping us get through this nightmare. You’re a true inspiration, and I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart.

Hi coach 😊 well I made the jump four days with out my valium not doing too bad sending love 💓

Ya know 4 years ago when I started on this tapering journey, I could not listen to you. You came off so cocky and lacking in compassion. Now today, 10 months off and healing, I enjoy hearing what you have to say 😊. My frame of mind was so scary back then. I needed a softer voice in my ears. Not today! Common sense, reality checks, a STRONG voice. Thank you! Be blessed and keep helping others. You’re an inspiration now that I’m in a better mindset. ❤

It’s insane how irresponsible these doctors are.

40 miligrams holy shit!!!!! Im struggling just to get off of 1 to 0.5 a miligrams!! I cannot even imagine. ( gives applause)

I was CT this year on March 2024

Brilliant

Flare ups is a sign of The CNS Repairing itself 💪💜

I come back to this time and time again. This is the best meditation in this process. Coupled with your book it really helps. Thank you so much.

I'm on 2.5mg valium, and my cns is going crazy feels like severe cptsd.....underlying illness.

Yes it’s a big topic one wonders. I personally think there are those that heal others that heal enough then people that will take a long time to progress. It goes down to epigenetics

I was on ativan 5 months ...doctor did not tell me to go cold turkey....I was on 1 mg...suffered severe paws.....started on 6th day. She put me on valium 7th day tapered 10mg first month then second month 5mg stayed on 5mg 7 weeks now on 2.5mg with 1 gra of gabba powder l theanine...only 50% of myself. Is this because I went cold turkey? Will I have permanent brain damage? Its been 4 months no where near the me before.. only 50%.

It felt like the lake of hell.

Thank you so much for your videos, fb group and app!

How much money are you making off people suffering

So we are left with a loop brain damage?

At 29:20, the window wave pattern told me at the end that I needed to jump off. I took my last .033 klonopin at 530 this morning. I know the window wave patterns will continue for some time. I’m giving myself a year to look for work again. Sunlight-good! Blue light-bad. Staying in bed-bad. Working through it in walking and light exercise-good. Non processed food-good. Ultra processed foods-not good. This has been my way to embrace my health and mindset throughout my taper. I am accepting my acute withdrawal. I know what to expect.

Thank you for your videos. Could you please do another straight forward video on exposure therapy is what heals please? I’ve noticed the only thing that’s helped heal quickly is exposure. That’s what it takes to get over those fears

I’m in the pits of hell right now. This has given me hope. So many videos have kept me in a panic loop. This actually helped.

This video may be fiction but it is true. My doctor told me to my face that I did not have akathesia. I couldn't stop pacing my house for 6 months. 19 hours a day. Doctors did this to us.

I think you are so right. It’s important to get the balance between a taper that’s too quick and a taper that’s too slow which can ultimately create its own problems. Person centred is key and listening to one’s own body and response. Keep up the good fight. 🙌
