We have received an unprecedented number of responses to the 2017 Withdrawal Survey and as a result we have decided to extend the survey until 5pm BST Monday 28 August.
You can access the survey here: https://roehamptonpsych.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6gSHZN88sOmHDlr
More details on the survey are available here: http://cepuk.org/2017/08/10/cep-2017-prescribed-drug-withdrawal-survey/
Thank you for your support.
Great idea.
Have you thought about running an add on prime time TV maybe it could be paid for by the government?
Although not good that a lot of people have been harmed by this poison, I’m so happy to hear that you have had a great response, as personally for me I found it difficult filling out the form as actually looking at the impact in writing ‘again’ sent me over the edge. At the same time I felt a little sense of relief.
Will be good to hear what your next steps are going to be.
Thank you for time CEPUK&well done to us living with this horrendous injury!!
Btw TV ad sounds great-we need some live&direct movement around this issue, bigtime.
Yes, an ad on tv would widely show the problem of withdrawal and also where to get help. A lot of people might not even know it’s withdrawal as they are told by GP’s or psychiatrists it’s just the original illness.
The government should pay for this or the drug companies.
I personally feel, after being medicated for 10 years with little support or information that any awareness and the work you do is so valuable…..
Numb to the world for 10 years is the hardest pill of all to swallow for me.
Awareness and education is so vital.
I can’t help feeling cheated by the psychiatrist who continually increased my medication when I tried to vocalise my fears and negative findings –

A television / visual advertisement is a fabulous idea.
I think it’s great that people are talking about this particular drug. It’s taking people down, including myself, I’m trying to taper down so I can finally get away from this demon. It’s been one of the most hardest things I know I’m ever going to do, and I’m terrified. Thanks to whoever is sharing there stories, it helps me feel not alone, and that’s priceless.
