Swallowed Whole
- A memoir of antidepressant withdrawal, survival and healing.
At sixteen, I was told my brain was broken and a pill would fix me. I believed them.Swallowed Whole is my unflinching memoir of nearly two decades on antidepressants, the harrowing struggle to safely taper off, and surviving debilitating withdrawal.
It’s a story of medical betrayal, endurance, and the fight to reclaim a life I was told I couldn’t live without medication.I wrote his is for anyone misled, dismissed, or silenced who is still navigating the darkness, with a message of hope: you can survive the storm and find your rainbow.
