Taking Drugs Off: Real Experiences

"My problem is actually an energy issue: I have very low energy, and it bothers me. I can't do everything I want to do, even cleaning house... I just run out of energy and have to rest.

I've been taking Paxil for about a year now. I started off at 10 mg/day and have worked my way up to 120 mg. (When the energy issue bothered me, I was supposed to regulate my dosage and got up to taking one 60 mg in the morning and one at night.)

I tried to stop taking it once several months ago and tried skipping doses and days and then breaking tablets in half, etc. I had some pretty severe withdrawal symptoms ("the zaps" which feel like electrical shocks, shakiness, and difficulty eating). So the people where I work just insisted that I "take my medicine"

I have taken other antidepressants during the past twelve years or so and have been able to stop both "cold turkey" and by slacking off." G.B., Salisbury, NC, USA

OK, here's my recipe:

  1. Quit this drug.

  2. When you'll get symptoms just say in your mind: "I want exact the same I feel now". Force yourself to feel that you really want what you have now. Force yourself to believe that you truly want what you have now. Keep repeating this phrase until all symptoms disappear.

  3. Breathe deeply.

  4. Tell me what happens.

"I am feeling fine.

ENERGY: Yesterday, I awoke before 7 AM and "stayed going" (working: housework, officework, yard work (I set out my annual flowers yesterday), churchwork, shopping, etc.) until 10 PM.

THIS IS UNHEARD OF. I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE.

I usually sleep much later and can hardly get out of bed, have to stop during the day to take naps, and go to bed early, sometimes by 6 PM.

I have gained a lot of weight, about 25 pounds, since I started taking Paxil. I weighed 166 last Sunday. This Sunday I weigh 163. Hooray!!!" G.B.

Second day:

"I've done the "I want what is now" about 3 times so far. I have NOT had any of the really bad feelings I had last time I tried to quit.

The breathing helps. Just one breath and I feel better!" G.B.

Third day:

"I'm feeling fine. No withdrawal symptoms from Paxil at all except a little dizziness and I handled that with wanting more of it and breathing as in your recipe. It works!" G.B.

Fourth day:

"I really am feeling fine physically and mentally. You have done more for me than 30 years of doctors, pills, therapy and hospitalisations!" G.B.

Well, you see, nothing hard with life is.

Why it works?

Any feelings and emotions are just illusions in our own heads, and they're easy to create or decreate.

If we want to create something, we are manifesting a lie until this lie will become truth.

But if we want to decreate something, we must manifest truth, what is as-is where-is when-is.

Why? Because two things cannot exist in the same place. When we feel something bad it simply means that we are separate from this. But all will change, if we unite with this "bad", if we start to love this "bad", if we want this "bad". If you're the one with, it can't harm you.

Our success on decreating this "bad" depends only on our ability to how exactly we love this "bad". If we love or wish it in its fullest, we're uniting with this "bad", and when we are this "bad", see, two things cannot exist in the same place, this "bad" disappears.

When we are not wanting, when we are resisting, when we do not love, we are separate, and separateness, no-oneness is reason why we can be addicted.

To be in power over something is same as to love it.
