A number of years ago, I sent a practice member to a psychiatrist who specializes in getting people off their medications. My practice member was haunted by klonopin after years and years of taking it. This person was held hostage by pills.
My practice member told me this psychiatrist laid all the cards on the table and spoke of a painful truth. My practice member was given hope, but it required hard, hard work. No one should do this alone and I will recommend this medical doctor to anyone who asks.
I was offered free anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs when I hit a low point in my life. I was a therapist in a mental health office and you could say I hit the lottery. We had a major sample cabinet. And now 20 years later, I admit I helped people with financial constraints obtain these medications through charity programs directly from the pharmaceuticals. It was a great marketing play back in the days when I believed I was helping people.
I said, "No, thank you," to my chance to reach into the sample cabinet as if it was a grab bag game at a Christmas party.
