You wrote,[...trying to get off it for about a year and a half now...still get withdrawal problems even with this slow taper...It really feels like it ruined me physically...].
I really would like to help you to be healed but there are directives to me here from the owner of this site, Robert Hsiung, that I am prohibited from posting particular material that IMHO could have the potential to save your life and free you from your ruined condition that you describe. Then there is another directive to me that I can not post here where you could find that material.
Day upon day, night upon night, I read the posts here of the sufferings of those that take mind-altering psychotropic drugs. Drugs that the research now agrees can cause one to think of killing themselves and/or others. Drugs that they take and if they want to stop them they could have the condition that you describe here. Drugs that can induce a life-ruining condition that may never go away even when the druug is stopped such as tardive dyskinesia, diabetes, and other conditions that could lead to the death of the drug-taker.
When one wants to rid themselves of mind-altering drugs there is now that tthe research agrees with that when in that state their mind could be alterd to compel them to want to kill themselves and/or others. And the drug taker and one that is wanting to stop the drug is in a community that promulgates racial/religious defamation toward a group, the person taking the drug, or in the condition of trying to rid themselves of the drug, could have their mind directed to want to murder a person of the group that the community allows to be defamed.
I am posting this so that members here will hopfully remember that if your mind becomes alterd from either taking these type of mind-altering chemicals or if you are in the state of trying to rid yourself of the drug, that you might not target another to murder, or kill yourself, and know tthat the drug ,or the state of trying to rid yourself of the drug, could induce this compulsion and you will hopefully not allow it to take over you.
You could also look at the admin board and see the pages upon pages of outstanding notifications and requests from me to Mr. Hsiung. Requests tthat IMHHHO, if answerd, could mark the difference between life and death to some here that are suffering from these drugs and trying to rid themselves of them. And if answerd IMHO could have the potential to save lives.
