The Challenge of Going Off Psychiatric Drugs

I had the left side numb thing too! It was like a line ran down the center of my body and everything on the left side of that line was numb.

(I have a pet theory that some psych meds "de-integrate" the left and right hemispheres of the brain)

Dr. said I was crazy and it had nothing to do with the meds. Sent me for MRI for that and the "brain zaps".

Eventually the left side numb thing went away.

Good luck and wish you well!

Thanks, the tingling and numbness really does mess with ones head. It's disheartening just how out of touch a lot of healthcare workers are with prescription medication withdrawal. Glad to hear you're doing better.

I could believe it. Could you explain more?
