Tiffany was prescribed amitriptyline for nerve pain. When she tapered off, she faced emotional blunting, panic attacks, and suicidal thoughts—leading to hospitalisation, misdiagnosis and failed treatments like Cymbalta, lithium, ECT, and ketamine. Her real recovery began when she stopped chasing chemical fixes and focused on managing anxiety through CBT, meditation, and lifestyle changes. Now, she’s working full-time and emotionally stable. Her story shows how protracted withdrawal can be mistaken for mental illness—and how healing is possible. 👇 HOW CAN I HELP YOU? 👀 FREE Webinar https://membership.taperclinic.com/si... 🎙️ Share YOUR Story: https://upload.vloggi.com/projects/YX...
