Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 For the past 8 1/2 yrs I have suffered from lupus. About 5 years ago, conventional doctors stuffed me plum full of 5 mental medications at one time as well as several other meds (counteracting side effects from the mental meds). A few years ago, I went on a great food supplement that allowed me to get off most of the medications. Since then my eyes have been open to alternative medicine and what a blessing it has been. My naturopathic physician has discovered some extreme food allergies in my body and I can no longer take the food supplement I took to get off those meds. I take fairly clean supplements as well as other things to boost my immune system. But, I have heard Paxil is one of the hardest drugs to get off of. Is there any hope? I am full of toxins and chemicals and trying to take care of myself. But, is there any hope of getting of this chemical? Help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I got off Paxil, and I don't remember any particular problem with getting off. I wasn't taking a lot, so maybe cutting down slowly is the way to go. But, yes, there certainly is hope!

What were you taking, that you can no longer take? What are you doing to minimize the food allergies? Massive proteolytic enzymes, between meals, are agreat way to clean the bloodstream of immune complexes. When chunks of badly digested proteins cross the intestinal wall and are floating around in the blood, the immune system goes nuts. It is amazing how much auto-immune misery clears up when we fix the digestive system, heal leaky gut, and activate the liver. Side effects: if it doesn't totally get rid of the lupus, at least you have good digestion... Anyway, about the Paxil, as far as I understand it the key is to take withdrawal slow but steady. Visit http://drugawareness.org for hints. Consider some EFT to support your mind. Great stuff. Here is a story about someone overcoming psych meds with EFT http://tinyurl.com/pdrqp and another one on addiction http://tinyurl.com/78j9c Once you have read those great stories, download the e-book, and sign up for the newsletter. Is everyone aware of Kathleen Sales' free class this coming Saturday? I'll make a separate post of it.
