There are so many things that might have had an impact on my taper. I recommend going slowly and doing a hyperbolic taper. Gut health is equally as important when tapering off of psychiatric drugs. Most drugs are absorbed in the gut so even having diarrhea can complicate a taper by creating inconsistent dosages. Inconsistent dosing can sometimes look like an illness returning but symptoms can also be caused by medication. I’ve monitored my ketones for 2 1/2 years and ketones help me function again and also help stabilize me during my taper. When I’m in deep enough ketosis I don’t experience mental health symptoms of my schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, or agoraphobia. Many people have a similar experience. I just started doing a Free X Spaces meet up and am in the process of setting a date for my next one. Support through a taper is very important. For me it involves my psychiatrist, family doctor, and metabolic psychiatry dietitian. There are other free support groups besides mine but I love connecting with people like me so I hope you’ll consider attending mine. Here are some other places to get free support: @BFRS501c3 @KetoCounselor @MsMiaMendez @StevenTrunce These were the people I actually used on my own journey: @GeorgiaEdeMD, @KetoPotterRDN, @LkronR How long have you taken psychiatric drugs for? Have you encountered any problems?

📣 Participant recruitment for a ketogenic diet and bipolar disorder study at the University of Pittsburgh. Mary Phillips, MD, and her team at the University of Pittsburgh are recruiting adults with Bipolar I or Bipolar II for a study examining how a ketogenic diet may influence brain structure and function. pittplusme.org/studyarms/pub… Participants may be eligible if they are 18 to 40 years old, have a diagnosis of Bipolar I or Bipolar II, have a smartphone and are willing to complete daily finger prick testing. The would also need to be able to attend in person study visits at UPMC in #Pittsburgh. Compensation is available. This is a very cool study because the outcomes will help move the field of metabolic psychiatry beyond questions about whether ketogenic metabolic therapy may help some people with psychiatric illness toward a better understanding of what may be changing in the brain when it does. I If you know someone with Bipolar I or Bipolar II who is between 18 and 40 and within traveling distance of Pittsburgh, please share this with them. And even if nobody immediately comes to mind, sharing this post can help the research team reach the people they need. Participant recruitment remains one of the biggest practical barriers to getting this research done. But with your help sharing within your private and professional networks? Maybe no so much! #MetabolicPsychiatry #BipolarDisorder #KMT #ClinicalResearch #ResearchParticipation

This week's reflection on my conversation with Steven. @StevenTrunce robynrdobbins.substack.com/p…

9 years ago tomorrow, I changed my diet. Today's my birthday, and this year the anniversary comes with something different — a conversation where I finally said the hard parts out loud. Replay of my appearance on Find Your Keto with Steven Trunce, out tomorrow. 🎧 pod.link/1747219177 @StevenTrunce #ketobiography #metabolichealth #NSNG #bipolarrecovery

I was agoraphobic and afraid to leave my house as well. It’s a known side effect of the antipsychotic I was prescribed. I’ll be doing another free X spaces meet up soon. I would love it if you attended. It’s a great opportunity to connect, get support, learn, or ask questions about metabolic therapies for mental health. As far as other support goes @KetoCounselor has a non profit program and @MsMiaMendez @StevenTrunce & @matthewbaszucki all offer coaching and support groups as well.
