I’ve collected several things I do to cope with the pain I experience as a result of long-term psychotropic drug use and the subsequent withdrawal pain I find myself in. Many people suffer from these pains upon withdrawal from many different psychiatric drugs and psychiatric drug classes so I thought I’d share how I cope. In most instances the pain remits in time but that can take up to a few years so we do need to have coping strategies in place while the time passes. This is by no means an exhaustive list of what might be done to cope with pain.
