Guest guest Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Okay, I have had depression and anxiety for almost 4 months now...in these past agonising few months, I have been to several doctors trying to find a remedy for my problem. The first place I went to, the practitioner just handed me some Lexapro and said " Have a nice day...call me in 3 weeks. " Well, at the time, I didn't know how bad anti-depressants really are, so I went home and took my pill as instructed. It was horrible! I didn't take it anymore after that. For the past couple of months I have been trying to cope with this without anything at all....I've been doing research about natural healing, but I don't know what route to go. I went to a naturopathic doctor the other day, but he was just as disappointing as the medical doctors I have seen. All he did was ask if I was depressed, hand me a printout of things I shouldn't eat, because of my headaches, and he told me to take SAMe. It all sounded good until I came home and did some research on SAMe. I read that people with severe depression shouldn't take it, because it could cause mania! Another thing that bothered me about the naturopathic doctor is the diet he told me to follow conflicts with my vegetarian lifestyle. I think the only thing I'm " permitted " to eat is fruits and vegetables...no cheese or a lot of different bread. I think I'm gonna starve to death and go crazy all at the same time! Does anyone know how to help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
