#56: Tiffany Camilleri 🇲🇹

About this episode

Tiffany Camilleri shares her journey with benzodiazepines and mental health advocacy.

November 12th, 2025 In this episode: I talk to Tiffany Camilleri from Malta. She works in marketing and is a mental health advocate. Tiffany got prescribed benzodiazepines and other psych meds at the young age of 14. From the beginning Tiffany started to wonder if some of her issues were caused by the medications that she was taking, but every time she went to see a psychiatrist, she was gaslit. Finding the Ashton Manual and visiting some forums led her to decide to want to taper her benzodiazepines. In a long journey, including a lot of seizures, Tiffany has decided to long hold on 6 milligrams of Diazepam (also known as Valium). Find Tiffany @: https://www.instagram.com/tiffany_camko/
