And, for the public’s information and safety, films like ‘Osage
County’ need to not mislead the public. A person addicted to as many barbiturates
and SSRIs as the mother in this film is, cannot go cold turkey, or reduce
quickly without a huge risk of heart attack occurring.
When a person takes substances every day for weeks, or months, the body and mind adjusts to the
chemicals, when they’re withdrawn, the body and mind goes into shock and doesn’t know
how to adjust, and that can be fatal.
Alcoholics
have to dry out carefully. I don’t understand how this film got past the
censors. If someone copies what the Julia Roberts character did in the film,
they could kill the person who is addicted to such substances.
Anyway until all Medical Practitioners agree to help people safely withdraw from psychiatric drugs, there's a free guide HERE as well as the new ICARUS project guide http://www.theicarusproject.net/HarmReductionGuideComingOffPsychDrugs
