It takes a long time for drugs to work their way out of our system after we quit taking them, so where exactly are they stored?
Are they in the blood, the fat, the muscle, or the organs? And, has anyone studied what happens as these drugs work their way out of storage?
I was fortunate that when I went on EMPower I had been off medication for around 8 months. I had no problem whatsoever in adjusting. But, I hear there are drug related side effects as the drugs people have stopped taking begin to work their way back out through their system.
Have any studies been done on what happens as we de-tox?
I have been taking EMPower dietary supplement for three months. I thought I would slack off a bit last week, and as soon as I did, my symptoms returned. This stuff is real and I swear it works. I slipped into depression and even though I had invited the family over for dinner I was unable to decide what to cook. My kids stepped in and brought stuff and we pulled off another miracle. I hadn't felt that unable to function for a long time.
These are some of the positive changes in how I feel since going on the supplements:
I don't feel as driven to do things just to satisfy various needs.(I don't even notice the needs)
I can sit without jumping all over the place, fidgety, toe-tapping, jittery nervousness, etc.
I can see in my head the difference between what is junk and what is real, from the very literal to the fantasy. I can actually throw things away, even things that I have hung onto for years and years.
I like how I feel in my head, and that is so opposite to how I felt on Lithium or Epival (Depakote) I think that's what it was called.The problem with EMPower comes as a person weans themselves off their other meds. The long time storage of past years build-up of medication works its way out of the body gradually, and in some cases in sudden spurts, and when it does you go back to feeling over-dosed, or have medication related side effects.
I'm not asking for criticism of my decision to use EMPower, but what I am asking is if any study has been done to date on the negative effects of long term storage of medication in the body and how it works its way back out.
