STAGES OF PRESCRIBED DRUG INJURY AND WITHDRAWAL (Revised)
To make the revised content on this website more credible and robust as contribution to new knowledge for submission to the National Health Service (NHS), I would like to add narratives (at least a paragraph where you anonymously describe your experience) from anyone age 18+ years who is currently experiencing prescribed drug injury and withdrawal, as well as anyone who is fully or mostly recovered.
If you have taken a benzodiazepine, antidepressant, z-drug or opioid, and you are over age 18 years, your participation will be greatly appreciated.
Before you decide whether or not you would like to participate, please take time to read the following information carefully. To view the questionnaire, please scroll down this page. Thank you.
Do I have to take part?
No, your participation is voluntary and you can also withdraw at any time without giving a reason or justifying your decision.
Do I have to be recovered to take part?
No, if you are at any stage of the healing process (from tolerance, tapering, acute, post-acute, to protracted or recovered) your participation is welcome.
Will my taking part and my personal details be kept confidential?
Yes, your participation is completely confidential. All electronic data will be kept confidential in password protected files and for privacy reasons and anonymity, your real name will be replaced with an alias. If you include identifiable information in your answers, this will be edited and anonymised.
What if I change my mind after submitting my questionnaire?
If you wish to withdraw after you have completed the questionnaire, please write to info@baylissa.com with your request and it will be removed.
What does contributing involve?
We ask for you to please describe your experience of any phase of withdrawal that you have experienced in response to the questions below.
What are the possible disadvantages or risks of contributing?
There is a possibility that you may find writing about your experience to be distressing. If you do not wish to continue with the questionnaire at any point during completion, please just close your browser.
