SSRI withdrawal is notorious for suicidal ideation and #akathisia .
Akathisia is a movement disorder that drives people to suicide.
I resisted the urge not to do it every single second for 18 months.
Laid on train tracks broke pelvis got pneumothorax, road rash and more!

Pati ⚖️♎️🌎☕️🎶🗽 Bev Schechtman🇮🇱 It takes about 9-18 months to taper off a benzo safely.
If you don’t, you can end up with benzodiazepine induced neurological dysfunction (BIND) and/or severe akathisia.
I ended up with severe akathisia from a forced benzo taper while septic. It can be a fate worse than death
