You wrote, [...taking (Prozac)...is there any other way I could succesfully withdraw(al)?..].
There is the theory that by tapering the amount of the drug over time, the body/brain will adjust slowly and when the drug is stopped, one could escape the withdrawal issues and be free from the drug. Now that theory sounds sweet, but could it be sour in practice?
Now the logical mind could think that by doing that, it could make sense to taper the drug slowly, but the logical mind once thougnt that the earth was flat and that the sun revolved around the earth. If one with a severe sunburn was told to go out in the sun a little less time each day and the burn would be healed, would the burn be healed?
I do know of people that have used the slow taper method and achieved their goal of not having to take the drug. That is a great accomplishment for a person to do that, and is a tribute to {human achievement}. But I know of a greater number of people that have failed to accomplish that goal by any means of human achievement. It is that body of people that I am trying to reach to let them know that there is another way other than {human achievement} to be free from psychotropic drugs.
This way has been revealed to me as {healing}. This healing is not accomplished by human achievement and is freely offered to all. The source of this healing (redacted by respondent)
