Warning to people on psych medications: If you take a psych med, especially at higher doses for a longer period of time, getting off them can be extremely difficult and very scary and dangerous if you do it rapidly. You can become sensitive to light, sound, touch, temperature, and more, and seriously sensitive to inflammatory foods. The good news is that the Lion Diet will help this, and the neurological damage will go away with time. Once the psych med withdrawal is over, you’ll be able to eat other foods without as severe depressive reactions from inflammatory foods. Doctors often do not talk about the dangers of staying on psych meds because they aren’t aware of the withdrawal and physical dependence that accompanies taking these medications. There are no studies on any psychiatric medication that has lasted more than 8 weeks. No long-term studies. Do not suddenly stop psych meds. Many people are able to very slowly wean off the medication while on the diet with minimal symptoms using hyperbolic tapering. If your doctor is not familiar with hyperbolic tapering, research it thoroughly and prepare yourself. Do NOT listen to a physician that thinks you can taper over a 2-4 week period. It can be very dangerous. I made prescribed-harm.com to arm people with information about psych med injury and withdrawal. Don’t let the website spook you. If you use this diet, and make your environment non-toxic, and a hyperbolic taper, withdrawal can generally be avoided. There’s more information at prescribed-harm.com. Do not listen to an uneducated doctor, it is very dangerous. Read all you can about hyperbolic tapering, and go slow and easy, faster isn’t easier on your body.
