Hi Huxley,
I am completely free of psych meds after 15 years on them. I took my last pill almost a week ago and feel so much better.
I still struggle with insomnia but it was so bad on psych meds, that practically anything is an improvement.
I started tapering a 4 med cocktail in 2006. I pretty much tapered 10% of current dose every 3 to 6 weeks with the exception of Wellbutrin XL which I cold turkeyed with the help of spirulina.
I have the Whitaker book and agree completely with everything you say.
I will be honest, even though I was tapering slowly, I wondered if my brain was permanently damaged. I had horrible cognitive brain fog. But once I stopped taking psych meds, I realized it wasn't as it improved greatly. Not 100% but so much better.
I know people get tired of my saying this but slow tapering is the key in my opinion.
If people want to babble me, feel free to do so.
Please don't give up hope.
