Can any one list any alternative treatments for treating my anxiety and depression? |
does any one no any good herbs,or how to make there own medicin from plants or any good books on the subject, i have tried prescription drugs and they dont work very well,i have smoked the devil weed and i feel as if it helps the best but many people argue with me on this manner, so i am trying any thing i can to injoy life again, any good sugjestions, i am open minded. i looked up this new prescription drug called wellbutrin,its sapose to be similar to cocain,so i might try it even though i have never tried cocain before i have heard it makes you feel good,and if it comes from a doctor it is safe right ha ha ha ha........... This might sound weird but after many years of being both emotionally unstable and suffering regular and prolonged bouts of depression I had a food sensitivity test. Having eliminated the problematic foods I have discovered I am actually one of the most stable people I know, not at all given to mood swings or depression. Also, I work as a colon hydrotherapist and Ihave noticed that every time someone comes to me who is depressed they are always the ones who drink no or very little water. Dehydration can make you depressed. Also, the ISA Experience can be a great help - have a look at their web site at http://www.isaexperience.com - hope this helps. mmmmm!!! go to see a psychiatrists i say try st johns wart supposed to be really good relaxation techniques will help, and a good friend or doctor who supports you. Stick at it you will feel better. Try getting your thyroid levels checked, very similar symptoms to depression. Mary Shomons web site is worth a look, it gives you all the symptoms for hypothyroidism I've been on Wellbutrin- but I've been on meds for over 5 years and usually they give me a cocktail- which is 2-3 meds at the same time. Can't say I remember much about the drug, but after hearing you, I might ask to try it again,but without anything else for awhile. All drugs for anxiety and depression fall into 3 categories- maoi's (which they never like to give you because if you OD on them you die), tricyclics, which I think wellbutrin is, and anti-anxiety/depression meds---check wellbutrin out at webmd.- it's a great site that gives you the pros and cons-- and getting our opinion really doesn't matter because all drugs act differently with each person.....so you have to try it to see if it works---make sure you read how long you have to be on it before you feel "relief" because that varies too and you don't want to nix a med if you werent on it long enough to help you....good luck to you...........and in the meantime---eliminate anything and all that causes anxiety in your life---when you get the hype taking over you, sit calmly and think peaceful thoughts- for me, I'm sitting on a beach and it is so sunny I'm squinting and I'm watching the waves and listening to the sound of them splashing against the white soft sand and I can feel the warmth of the sun on my face and body...but the sound of the waves....it's like a rocker...just rolling in and rolling out............it works for me...I hope it helps you. For ten years Ive suffered from bouts of depression. What works better than any drug is exercise. Go to the gym twice a week and lift weights. This will stimulate your brains natural production of seratonin which is the chemical that regulates happiness. Plus your look better which helps with confidence. The herb St. johns wort is a natural antidepressant that works almost as well as prescription SSRI's. Beleive it or not placebo is just as effective as anything on the market right now. So take an attitude that your not sick and focus on other things in your life besides the symptoms of the disease. In my situation went a little extreme and quit eating meat, and all drugs except tea and coffee and started going to the gym 5 days a week for 2 hours a day for the last two years. But that happens when you cant shake this disease. One day you crack and are willing to do anything to get ahead of it. I still get blue when the snow hits, but Im healthier and wiser than couldve ever imagined. So keep your head up and keep your friends close by. Chances are oine day you'll wake up and look back on the person you are today and wonder 'who the heck was that guy?' I cannot brag enough about the B family vitamins! B-50 or B-100 is great for your entire body system, especially your nerves and mental state. Remember to get the right B vitamins. The B-complex vitamins are okay, but doesnt work as good. I work in childcare where there is noise and stress all day, but with B-50 in me, it keeps me mentally and physically CALM! exercise will help your mental state a lot also-just walk at least 3 days a week or join a gym. You will be amazed how much it will help along with the B vitamins. There is a way to conquer this thing called "depression" without harmful prescribed drugs. SOON A WHOlE NEW YOU IS ABOUT EMERGE!*** |
