Generally, traditional psychiatrists attribute relapses and symptoms associated with psychiatric medication withdrawal to a recurrence of the patient's illness. This perspective leads to restarting medication(s) if the withdrawal is unsuccessful. Since psychiatrists do not know how to support psychotropic medication withdrawal other than to lower medications "slowly," many patients "relapse" within three months of stopping their medications.
However, even if holistic and integrative supports are provided to a patient, the process can still be extremely difficult to navigate for various reasons, such as 1) withdrawal side effects are particularly dangerous or uncomfortable, 2) the medication blocks many receptors simultaneously, or 3) the patient has developed a strong dependence on the medication.
What underlying mechanism makes withdrawals so difficult and how can we manipulate it to make withdrawals easier?
Today, I will share an exciting paradigm shift on handling withdrawals, how to apply it to make the process easier, and some wonderful results from testing my hypothesis!
A Simple, Effective, and Free Way to Lower Psychiatric Medications
A Paradigm shift in medication withdrawal
I believe that if the patient is symptom-free before starting withdrawal, then most withdrawal symptoms arising during a psychotropic medication taper are due to the body's co-dependent, homeostatic (keeping things balanced and stable) reactions to the psychiatric medication. These reactions create a balanced state if the medication is taken at the usual dosage, but an imbalanced state if the dosage comes down.
These co-dependent, homeostatic reactions of the body involve receptors that mirror and bind to medications and co-create the overall experience of taking medications. If the medication is abruptly stopped, the receptors that become unbound create withdrawal symptoms. If the receptors binding the medications are abruptly eliminated, the medications' effects intensify, leading to a need to lower the dosage.
Currently, all withdrawals rely on the body's innate adaptive reaction to gradually lowered medication dosages. Nutritional supplements cannot make the body reduce even a single receptor on the cell membrane that gets unbound and exposed when the medication stops blocking it. Only the intelligence of the body controls that.
But, what if we can inform the body to shift from an adaptive reaction to a proactive preparation? Would that even be possible? And if it is possible, how can the process be regulated and controlled?
A few weeks ago, I was suddenly struck by an insight on how to shift the body from an adaptive reaction to a proactive preparation. It involved the use of a simple energy medicine technique called EET + Logosynthesis applied in a very specific way for withdrawal:
EET + Logosynthesis:
I now choose to align myself with Life Energy and be empowered to retrieve all of my energy bound up in the/this (problem*), and I bring this energy back to the correct place within myself."
I now choose to align myself with Life Energy and be empowered to retrieve all of my energy bound up in all of my reactions to the/this (problem*), and I bring this energy back to the correct place within myself.
I now choose to align myself with Life Energy and be empowered to remove all the energy that doesn't belong to me bound up in the/this (problem*), I remove this energy that doesn't belong to me from all of my body, being, and personal space, and I send this energy back to where it truly belongs.
The problem*: The co-dependent reactions of my body that keep the (medication) at a homeostatic dose which interfere with my ability to safely, easily, and gradually taper down on the (mg of medication) from __ dose to __ dose in __ week(s).
In addition to using the Logosynthesis, I have my patients listen to the "Minimizing Medication Withdrawal Problems" recording track once a week. The product is available on my website. Also, my patients do a short, guided visualization called Energy Breaths twice per day.
The patient will do the EET + Logosynthesis at the beginning of the intended taper period and reinforce it once more a few days later.
The results have been quite miraculous. Patients were able to lower their benzodiazepines, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and antidepressants very easily and without withdrawal side effects.
Two of my patients experienced social stressors during this trial period and their withdrawals still went smoothly. One patient experienced the passing of a very close family member. Despite her loss, she was still able to lower three medications weekly with ease.
The concepts behind the words refer to quantum realities: the existence of energy fields, our ability to connect to Life Energy through intention, and the way energy and information can direct the body's physical function—a different paradigm. Rather than lowered medications preceding the body's need to adjust, the body's adjustments precede the need to lower medications.
One patient misunderstood my instructions and did her Logosynthesis every day rather than just once. The energy testing results showed that her body needed to lower her medications again in order to rebalance itself. She had overshot her goal. She did this and felt well. She was so grateful for the ease of her withdrawal process that she cried.
There are, however, two aspects to medication withdrawal: 1) healing of underlying causes, and 2) healing from dependency on the medication. Today, I shared a way to deal with (2). Next week, I will share what I've been doing with energy medicine to deal with (1). It is even more outrageous, but it works!
