It\u2019s been 6 years since any psych medications. Last summer his symptoms started, after a flare up likely induced by mold (CIRS) and stress. It was complicated by pneumonia and associated sepsis a month later. It\u2019s been horrible.  Neurological injuries from psych meds are far more common than people know. I made this video to explain what they are and what akathisia is because they\u2019re not talked about enough, they\u2019re misdiagnosed, nearly impossible to treat, and hidden by the pharmaceutical industry. I don\u2019t plan on making another update about my dad, it stresses my family out, and myself, and there\u2019s nothing more to say about it until things get better. I will be jumping up and down about psych med injury awareness from now on as it\u2019s impacted my health as well, and is devastating. Prayers are appreciated still. <\/p>\n<p>Warning for people on psych meds listening &#8211; if you\u2019ve been taking a psych med, particularly a benzodiazepine long term and are stable, don\u2019t feel pressured to taper. Do your research but don\u2019t get concerned from this video and destabilize a stable situation without knowing the risks, see below for research\/resources\/testimonials:<\/p>\n<p>Prescribed-harm.com &#8211; This is the website I built out of frustration &#8211; Submit your story here if you\u2019d like.
