CONNECT WITH ME:
Sheila was a therapist, leading a healthy lifestyle and tapering Lexapro under expert guidance. But when that guidance turned into a cold turkey stop, her life unraveled. What followed was protracted akathisia, hospitalization, and a desperate fight to survive.
Sheila shares her full journey—from being misdiagnosed and dismissed to stabilizing, relapsing after COVID, and ultimately rebuilding her life and returning to work. She opens up about the grief of missed milestones, the trauma of being unsupported, and why grief is the hidden language of psychiatric drug withdrawal.
