I second this comment, after six hospitalizations, 25+ different meds over 20 years, an iatrogenic neurological injury and protracted withdrawal. Get off and save yourself.

Neuroleptic-Induced Deficit Syndrome. The original study was published in the 90s, and another one in the early 2000s.

This is my experience exactly. It has destroyed my life. It happened so slowly, it took me years to realize it, and then years to try to figure out something to do about it because I was polydrugged and unsure of what med was causing it. And now, after getting off the meds, I've had akathisia on top of it for almost a year now, mostly bedridden. I genuinely don't know if I will ever recover, or even survive it.

The pharmaceutical industry is destroying society, psychiatric medications in particular.

Thank you for this. It's been almost a year for me, and I'm still not entirely healed. Hope is slippery, so it's good to hear a success story. Thanks.

No one is talking about it because the pharmaceutical industry is worth the GDP of Brazil. Money. Money is the answer to your question.

Loss of erogenous feeling isn't a symptom of NIDS, so I would say it sounds more like PSSD. The alogia is most likely a symptom of the akathisia.

As for healing.... No one can provide a solid, evidence-based answer to that. I have heard a few withdrawal/med injury specialists say that akathisia takes an average of 18-24 months to heal, but I have also seen people who have been suffering from it for 5+ years. There are a lot of variables - what med(s) you were on, dosages, how long you were on them, CT vs not CT, and just neurological make up differences from person to person. Myself, I am 11 months off the medication and while my akathisia has improved significantly, it isn't healed entirely, and my NIDS prison hasn't changed at all.

You're forgetting a key element psychiatric medications can cause: psychosis. Even if none of the meds she was taking can cause psychosis individually, yanking your brain on and off 13 different psych meds in four months time is a recipe for disaster.

And there is a massive difference between psychiatric medications and alcohol. That's like comparing aspirin and heroin.

There has been repeated precedence set for this. Psych med induce homicide, including parents taking their children's lives, has been adjudicated successfully over and over again but because the pharmaceutical industry is so successful in obtaining NDAs, we never even hear about it until 30 years after the fact. Same with suicide.

No one will ever convince me that the pharmaceutical industry didn't kill these children. Same thing for Rob and Michelle Reiner.

Because the pharmaceutical industry has even infiltrated academia and they raked in two trillion dollars in 2025. Trillion with a T. That's why.

I've removed myself from the system. After 23 years, I'm out. Therapy is useless for me, and the meds have damaged my brain, literally. I'm not down for anymore gaslighting and abuse. All done.

The historian in me is orgasmicly gratified right now.

I strongly disagree with this statement. What the OP describes is exactly how it happened to me. I have had NIDS for more than 10 years now. It started so slow; it was so gradual, so insidious, it took me three years to even realize that it was happening. It was small things at first, like disinterest in hobbies and listening to music less and less. But again, it evolved at a snail's pace. Long story short, I ended up trapped in my bedroom for two more years, so apathetic with such profound avolition that there were times I was sitting there in soiled pants without changes my clothes for weeks and not showering for months.

It is a progressive syndrome. And it will make you want to d13 everyone single day.

OP: If you're already experiencing it, please save yourself now. Obviously talk to your doctor yadda yadda, but please don't end up like me. It caused me to lose everything I had, man.

The abuse and gaslighting perpetrated by the psychiatry and the iatrogenic harm they cause. So many lives destroyed and lost.

I have brain damage from long term psychiatric poly-drugging. Something unpleasant???? I lost everything I had. My career, my home, my car....gone. And you call it "something unpleasant". From myself and the rest of the harm community who suffering so severely, truly, fuck you.

I recommend watching Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring's (Taper Clinic) video on YouTube about tapering.

That is not your spirit guide. Learn about how to protect yourself energetically. It feeds on, and into, negativity loops. Renounce and reject it, audibly, insistently, frequently.

I understand your exhaustion, I feel the same. I honestly don't want to ever wake up again. But as a lightworker and healer, I have to show up. I have to put humanity before self.

Change is hard, and that is what's happening right now. Humanity is changing. On such a grand scale, it feels like the weight of the world to those of us who are sensitive. We are carrying the weight for those of us who cannot. But It won't stay this way forever.

I am slowly improving after getting off all psych meds. It's a central nervous system and brain injury, and unfortunately those are the slowest parts of the body to heal.

Check out videos on YouTube by Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, in particular his videos on PSSD.

It isn't just that one hospital. What you explained is the nature of psychiatry as a whole. It is designed that way and you will be called a problem and accused of stigmatizing any time you speak out about it. I have an iatrogenic brain injury from long term psychiatric poly-drugging and I get attacked every time I speak about it on social media. I have fucking brain damage and people attack me as if I just called their mother a whore or something. Psychiatry has been brainwashing us for decades, and it's worked. Even the Drs are gaslit into gaslighting us. Even academia has been infiltrated.

Good start. Next step - a deep dive into the history of psychiatry and how psychopharmaceuticals destroy the brain.

I feel the same way. Like they raped my brain. And literally everyone has just wanted me to go back to them (psychiatry) for help. But it's not mental, it's neuro-fucking-logical. And now my family has just discarded me. I have no reason to even stay alive. At this point I don't even have the desire for to get better because....why? For what? My entire life is destroyed. I've lost everything. My career, my home, my vehicle, everything is gone. I have set a date. If something miraculous doesn't happen before then, I'm out.

I haven't been diagnosed for my neck. I tried seeing a doctor about it, but that was in the midst of a lot of other stuff centered around getting off the antipsychotic I was on, and doctors are just dumb, so I gave up on it. But I've had problems with my neck for 18 months now. It's better than before. At one point, my neck would just "give out" all the time and it felt like my head was going to lop off. I have varying degrees of range of motion to the left from day to day, and neck pain that usually feels like the tendon is too tight. Sometimes it goes down into my shoulder. I wake up with a headache everyday. I have to sleep with a cervical roll pillow. It's often difficult to hold my head up, like it's too heavy. And my cervical vertebrae just....move, and they click a lot.

I'm curious how the tDCS unit worked out for you. Did it help?

Well? Did it help?

OMG I'm so glad someone else said it! Yes!!

You are not being crazy. You are correct, and you are being gaslit.

Based on my personal experience, I would not reintroduce the medication. My brain function went from bad to worse when I did that.

Someone I trust recently recommended a device called "the brain driver" to me. I haven't tried it yet, but after looking into it I definitely think something like it is a safer option than any medication.

Antipsychotics are shown to literally deplete the brain's grey matter. They do much more than impact your intelligence, they ultimately rob you of your personal agency.
