30 years on Paroxetine. Nearly died after attempting to taper off and still suffering. Trying to raise awareness to help others avoid this horrific journey.

Paxil withdrawal is hard to bear,
Akathisia drives despair.
Electric shocks, a burning brain,
Tinnitus screams, waves of pain.
Sweat and nausea, nerves on fire,
Autonomic chaos, nothing’s higher.
Long-term users are fair game,
Beware, beware this drug will maim…

Calling harmed patients “anti-psychiatry” isn’t just name-calling it’s a systemic silencing tactic that hides the truth about SSRI withdrawal, endangers others still on the drugs, & slows down ethical reform. Millions are left uninformed, vulnerable, & unprepared for WD risks…
