    The Art Of Tapering

    The Art of Tapering benzodiazepines, antidepressants, antipsychotic's - any psych medications. This is not medical advice, I am sharing lived experience from having to learn how to taper off 3 medications after getting harmed by one. I have followed people I trust who have also gone through this, and over these years been through all the pit falls, learnt the hard way, determine to heal and be free I press on. To release shame around this and to shine a light on how important it is for some people to taper like this. It is in fact life saving. I know some can take these medications no problem and stop taking them no problem, however there is also people who really struggle with adverse reactions and find it really hard coming off. With the slow tapering, with water or weighing on scales, people can get off safely. Love Emma Produced by Harry Duns

    Love and Dating in Psych Med Withdrawal

    A personal sharing of what it’s been like tapering psych medication for the last 4 years such as Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and Benzodiazepines. Discussing how it impacts love and dating, spoken from a females perspective. I’ve tried to cover all topics that come up a lot and what I hear a lot of people worry about. I’ve also had quite a few woman asking for a podcast like this, so I decided to make one. I’m aware we are all on our different paths with this, some more harmed than others, and really it’s to speak to hope, even if you are in a bad place and your really harmed and it’s a long time until you feel like you could go on a date. It’s to give that encouragement that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. As love is an important part of life. We can of course love ourselves, and all that lingo, but it’s also part of our human life to at times be in relationships.I’m not imparting medical advice on my channel more lived experience. Much love Emma and Wicket xx Podcast produced and filmed by Harry Duns

    Emma's story of recovery from psych med harm & withdrawal, hell and back

    Discussing harm from Antidepressants, Benzodiazepines and Antipsychotics. This episode discusses my 4/5 year journey of recovery, from ending up being wrongly prescribed and wrongly diagnosed and plugged with so much medication I became totally non functional. To then finding others who had gone through the same, and miraculously making it through to tell the tale, currently on my last medication. Almost free! This is here to bring awareness to a very hidden corner of our world, where many are left suffering, and end up getting all the wrong guidance along the way! Like me! To encourage those going through it that it doesn't have to mean the end. Love Emma and Wicket
