So I think because we don't understand the full extent of what these drugs are doing to the nervous system, there are some theories that the delayed withdrawal symptoms people have are, you know, maybe tied into there's some kind of maybe there's some kind of sensitization that happens to neurotransmitter function when you're off these drugs.
And so you're more susceptible to stress.
So it's just a black box of understanding.
But people not infrequently report being basically fine after coming off their meds abruptly for weeks or even months.
And then they get walloped like three months in.
And of course, they're going to be told that has nothing to do.
That's not withdrawal.
You're having a relapse.
This conflation of withdrawal and relapse is like a massive, distorting variable here that
we have to help our culture tease apart.
How you feel when you stop your medication is not necessarily you or your baseline or your so-called illness.
Like it may well be withdrawal.
And once you make that switch and you see it that way, you're like, whoa, whoa.
And then you just see it everywhere.

Yeah.
