Using metabolic therapies, and particularly ketogenic therapy, I have been able to completely come off all of my psych meds in less than a year. I was told once that I would probably need to spend my life in a psychiatric institution, nevermind not needing to be on antipsychotics... and various other psych meds for the rest of my life too. I am the healthiest I have ever been, free of symptoms of my schizoaffective disorder, and kind of blown away by how much my experience of my illness and of my life has changed over this last year.

Do you know @ValerieAnne1970 Valerie Anne Smith? I'm sure that she would love to share thoughts with you. She was a basket case for 40 years with schizophrenia and anorexia nervosa and probably a lot more. I was neurotic for 50 years. Yeah, I could function. My intuition was good. But I was depressive, emotionally weak, emotionally dependent, irritable, anger problems, the entire 9 yards, along with diabetes2. Once I got to carnivore, it all disappeared.

It’s been 9 months, and I still pinch myself every morning. I can’t believe it felt like a nightmare for so long, and then one day I finally woke up from the nightmare. I’m forever grateful 🥲 ☺️

Thanks for sharing Lauren. Amazing story and I’m so happy to see you thriving with keto! I look forward to following your journey

Congrats, I'm super happy for you. Getting off meds is like leaving hell and returning to Earth Four diff psychiatrists told me to stay on meds despite no positive symptoms. I continued to improve for 10 months after getting off and I'm fully functional again

Congratulations, Lauren!! 🥳 I'm grateful every day for being able to be completely medication free. Welcome to the club!

Well done Lauren. What we have not been told about pharma's medications is staggering. We are life long personal trainers in the Frisco, TX area and have been getting people OFF medications as much as is possible and responsible. Stay strong Lauren 🇺🇸

Good to see more people getting better! (:

The sad reality is that most doctors don't/won't help though.

What withdrawal symptoms did you experience? Were they a return of the symptoms of your illness?

That's great
