Years of Gray

Age: 36–45  ·  Duration of use: 5+ years  ·  Current status: No longer taking
Symptoms: Emotional blunting, cognitive impairment, depersonalization/derealization, suicidal ideation

My parents got divorced when I was 6, & my dad was very depressed when I spent time with him. This led me to start crying almost every day, which my mom didn’t appreciate, as she was transforming herself into a career woman & dating. We were seeing a counselor, who suggested a child psychiatrist, & he immediately wanted me to try Prozac, as it was new & all the rage (I’m sure he was earning a vacation by prescribing). No one asked what I was eating, whether I was getting any exercise or sun (I wasn’t). My teacher called my mother & pleaded with her to try other things first, like nutrition & exercise, but my mom wouldn’t hear it.

I went from being straight A’s in honors to barely graduating High school with a 2.17. It was as though I couldn’t learn anything new while I was taking the Prozac. At 20, I started using heroin, and I stopped taking the Prozac & went into opiate addiction instead. In my late 20s, I did a raw vegan cleanse for a year of mostly fruit & vegetables, along with a daily enema & daily prayer. During this period I started to dream & store memories in colour again, & I realized that the fluoride had affected me profoundly, to the point of calcifying my pineal gland & making my thoughts & memories literally gray.

I have resentments & to be completely honest I’m still an opiate addict at 44. I wish that I had been given a chance to live & grow without abandoning myself, but if I had to choose between going back on Prozac & staying an opiate addict, I’m always going to choose opiates because I’m able to feel joy & learn with comprehension much better now than when I was on Prozac.

I hate that these psychiatrists & pharmaceutical industries prey on children that are not getting proper nutrition, sunlight, & exercise. They are making everything worse with these wretched drugs!

Thank you for listening, & thank you guys for making this compilation! We must stop these greedy industry profiteers that make money poisoning children with literal petrochemicals. No one has a petrochemical deficiency!
