Psychiatric medication withdrawal--need friends
Posted by: Anonymous User ()
Date: June 06, 2009 10:58PM

Hello

I am over 50% raw and plan to go 100% raw after I'm off all meds. I really need some help and some hope. Have any of you who are raw foodists been through benzodiazepine withdrawal, or other sleeping pill or antidepressant withdrawal? I really need your support. I am afraid of suffering with sleeplessness forever. I know that's not rational, but I'm feeling so in the dumps right now. I am hoping that going totally raw will help me sleep. Please email me if you can offer some hope. Thanks so much.

I think you'll find going totally Raw will give
you more energy, requiring less sleep. However, many who are
Raw here report needing 8-10 hours of sleep.
Whatever you do....proceed gradually. i.e. don't try to go 100%
overnight....WY
P.S. I have a friend who is 'hooked' on a sleeping pill, and
doesn't think she can give it up. That kind of thinking makes it
so. You can do anything you set your Mind to. Good Luck

Thanks so much for the encouragement.

What about transitioning from about 60% raw to 100% overnight? Is that too much too fast? What would happen? Is it dangerous? Please help me understand. Thanks so much.
