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.
The Guided Tapering Journal - Supporting Your Psychiatric Drug Tapering Journey
The Guided Tapering Journal is a supportive, lived-experience resource designed to guide you through every stage of psychiatric drug tapering. Created by someone who has walked this path firsthand, it offers a safe and structured space to:- Log your doses and keep track of your tapering plan.- Monitor symptoms, physical, emotional, and mental, with clarity.- Reflect on your progress through guided weekly prompts.- Notice patterns and glimmers that can bring hope and encouragement.With 53 weeks of dedicated pages, this journal is more than a tracker, it’s a trusted companion to help you taper at your own pace, with awareness, care, and compassion.One page, one step, one day at a time.
Please note: this is a stand-alone, full-tapering journal with 53 weeks of structured pages. It is different from the printable tapering tracker included in my guide, which is a six-page tool you can print as needed. Both are valuable resources, however this journal offers a year-long space to record and reflect.
About Me
Hi, I’m Claire. I’ve spent over 25 years navigating the turbulent journey of taking, surviving, and healing from antidepressants. I know firsthand how confusing, isolating, and painful withdrawal can be, and how little guidance is often available.Through my book, my guide, and my social media, I share my experiences, insights, and practical tools to help others survive, understand, and heal from antidepressant withdrawal. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel seen, supported, and hopeful on your journey.Today, my mission is to share what I’ve learned, validate your experience,
and remind you that healing is possible, even when it feels impossibly far away.
You are not alone, and through my guide, I’m here to walk alongside you
with honesty, compassion, and hope.
