My boyfriend was recently diagnosed by my family doctor. He is 35

years old. She directed him to a psychologist for more precise

diagnosis, but in the past 2 years he has been through the gammet of

medications: lexapro was great but he couldn't sleep, paxil didn't

work, and effexor made him practically suicidal. (He is still going

through withdrawls after 6 weeks.) Now the family dr put him on

Zyprexa, a mood stablizer-2.5 mg the lowest dose. He is a different

person-more depressed than ever, raging, unconsoleable. I want to

help him-I know St Johns Wort and Kava Kava are not the answers-maybe

for some but not him. Can anyone recommend some sort of treatment that

will work? Yoga, a better diet, reduced alcohol, etc should help-but

there must be some answers. We are left the prey for pharmaceutical

companies and frankly, they are taking away his mind!

Dear Friends

 

If you have Depression and stress problems my suggestion to you is Firstly

join " Art of Living Course " conducted by Sri Sri Sri Ravishanker Foundation.

 

Secondly if possible do yoga and meditation its a good reliever. Medicines are

there to cure but as far as possible try to avoid medicine.

 

This is just a suggestion and help to dear friends. Life is very short enjoy

each moments and dont get depressed. Ups and downs are there in life, try to

face it and solve it at your own decision.Dont get panicked and tensed. Friends

will be always there to help you.

 

God Bless you

Allopathic detox, parasitic detox, nosode detox. He would also need the

neurtransmitters balanced and other biofeedback therapies. Removing caffiene,

refinded sugars and flours, preservatives, dairy from the diet...all of these

contribute to BiPolar depression.

 

My duaghter has Bi-polar and nursing a new baby, being unable to nurse we are

using Biofeedback on her and it is working very successfully. After 6 treatments

the changes start to become permanent.

Dear Michelle,

 

Please look carefully at what you just wrote.

This is not meant as criticism, we all dash stuff off.

Just to assist your thought processes.

There is no BUT here. Reduced alcohol and a better

diet are at the basis of " the answer " . I am so sorry,

there is no single, easy magic natural pill that will take

the place of both pharmaceuticals and good diet.

 

Looking for a magic bullet, be it pharmaceutical or

nutritional or herbal, is thinking in the pharmaceutical

way.

Eventually, you will find medication that can help him. I second the

idea of sending him to a psychopharmacologist.

 

It also sounds like he may have a drinking problem. Alcohol and drug

addiction are not uncommon among bipolars as they are trying to mask

the intense emotions they are feeling. He should also see about

treatment for that.

 

Proper nutrition and exercise are very important in treating

depression. Omega is helpful and certainly accupuncture. I would not

rely on those completely. If he needs medication, he should stay on it.

 

Not all meds " deatroy the mind " . I was on fluoxetine years ago for

depression, and it was very helpful in lifting my mind up out of a rut

and into a place of clarity.
