The Natural Way to Withdraw from Antidepressants

[Guest guest]

I think this is a tough one, first of all the doc speak about SAMe and

the way this seems to works is to increase prodcuction of serotonin

whilst Paxil etc inhibits the re-uptake of serotonin, I am not so sure

that they are the same thing, if blocking the re-uptake does the trick

then nomatter how much serotonin producing herb you take it will not

work.

 

I remember taking st johns wort, kava kava, both did nothing to

depression and anxiety, didn't even touch it.

 

The fact is that Paxil etc do work! Some have a bad time on them and

especially withdrawal needs to be done carefully, i.e. tapering off,

the info on the nutrients is good though and am taking magnesium,

calcium , b vits, etc and so when I next try tapering off I will be

beefed up with many nutrients and doing exercise and getting sun and

then see how it goes.

Paxil, Prozac and others may indeed work for some people, but they

work unnaturally and all in all they are abominations like most other

pharmaceuticals in that they do their jobs by forcing the body to

perform in an unnatural manner and come with terrible side effects

and/or withdrawals.

 

Too often what mainstream medicine does is to produce a patentable

drug not found in nature which manages symptoms and requires long term

use while having side effects that create further conditions that lead

to still more drugs. As I have often stated, it is a great profit

model when your only marketplace is our bodies, but it is a horrible

model for health and humanity.

 

I am firmly convinced that if only research were not limited to

unnatural compounds, synthetics and patentable isolates not found in

nature, we would likely find better natural alternatives to just about

every approved medication there is.

 

A good general rule is when you put something in your body that is not

found in nature, bad things are likely to happen.

the bottom of the sea, it would be all the better for mankind, and all

the worse for the fishes. " - Oliver Wendell Holmes

 

" Nature alone can cure disease. Doctors cannot heal. They can only

direct the sufferer back to the pathways of health. Nature alone can

create, and healing is re-creation. " Dr. William S. Sadler
