Common Questions and Answers about Depression medication homeopathic

Avatar m tn I was a bit disturbed though that the doctor pushed for her to simultaneously see a psychiatrist about depression medication. He said that not having periods can be from anxiety and depression. My daughter was crying at the appointment because she had talked to her friend's mom about thyroid issues and was hoping to walk out of the appointment with a trial run of thyroid medication. Her friend's mom had told her that within a couple of days of being on the medication she felt great.
Avatar m tn I have to ask this. I have high blood pressure. I can't imagine taking my bp medication one or twice a week . . . that doesn't sound healthy. What medication is it? I would not follow a homeopathic doctor's advice on something like prescribed medication for your heart. If they give various other ways to help reduce bp, that's great but they are likely not trained in pharmacology to the extent they can give solid advice about how and when to take your medication.
1134609 tn?1269272200 I am wondering if any BP folks have had success with homeopathic therapy. I have seen a nutritionist who specializes in MI and she has helped out immensely. I have thought about homeopathic treatment, but the one experience I had was not acceptable. When I went in to see her, she was very much wrapped up in Eastern medicine and didn't have anything good to say about Western treatment.
Avatar n tn He desires a homeopathic approach to assist with the depression. He has never been prone to depression previously. Please contact us with any assistance you can offer. Thank you.
Avatar n tn Thank you, that is actually very helpful. I appreciate it. I had ppd after my last and was diagnosed with antinatal depression with one. It was better for a while but recently it has been a little worse. I'm the homeopathic type so medication is a no for me. It's been a difficult pregnacy and really, anything helps at this point.
Avatar m tn i am taking zoloft, I have heard of many natural remedies to battle depression. kira St johns with 5htp, etc. Does anyone have a recommendation, specific brand and product?
Avatar f tn I am currently looking for a new depression medication. I need some info on something that is NOT a SSRI, a hormone, and is not zoloft, celexa, or prozac......also something that does not contain salicylic acid aka aspirin. If anyone can help I would appreciate the help.
Avatar m tn He was very good and after a couple of meetings he prescribed me with medication for what he called a chemical imbalance in my brain that caused depression. The meds worked and I definitely wasn't as sad most of the time. So for seven years I've taken meds. More recently I've started to feel, emotionless and even angry (on the inside). Im not suicidal like I was in middle school, but I definitely don't feel good.
Avatar m tn If you are taking medication for depression does that make your system take longer to ejaculate and also make it harder to gain an erection?
Avatar f tn Yes, I believe the Topamax (Topiramate) is directly responsible for the depression returning. Depression is listed as a side effect with a greater than 10% incidence rate which is considered very common. I've noticed that people will be prescribed drugs that are known to cause depression when they are on antidepressants as if the doctor believes the antidepressant will cancel out that side effect, but this usually is not the case. You should talk about getting on another drug for migraines.
Avatar f tn If she has a thyroid problem she needs to see a doctor and go on medication if needed. If you are hypoactive it is very hard to lose weight without the medication.
Avatar f tn Do I prescribe him prescription drugs and take the risk of him becoming hooked on them, or do I try and medicate him naturally with homeopathic medicine? I see the advantages in both, but not sure what is actually best. His grades and behavior have definitely fallen drastically! It is something that needs to get a under control quickly! I also want to be fair to him and give him what he needs to make sure he succeeds!
Avatar m tn i suffering from genetic cyclic depression i got 4 attack still now each attack of 3 months to 18 months. attack comes every 3 to 5 years of period.
Avatar f tn But although there are some natural remedies that work on depression they have not found any that can replace standard medication. In Europe natural remedies are prescribed but in the U.S. they are unregulated so you don't know what you are getting. But if anything is being used against depression it must be regulated by a doctor. Regardless you said you said you had suicidal thoughts. That is something you need to speak to someone about.
Avatar m tn Herbs are best used in combination, and if you're on medication, that eliminates many. I've found a compound called Serenity by Gaia to be good, also ignatia amara and gelsemnium homeopathic remedies. Taurine is also helpful, as it makes GABA in combination with B6. But the whole package would include 5-HTP and some other stuff. A good book to read on this is Natural Highs by Hyla Cass, a psychiatrist at UCLA.
Avatar f tn Would discuss this with your primary doctor and consider stopping the homeopathic medication and recheck thyroid levels after about 5 or 6 weeks.
2063301 tn?1343833074 Thankyou for a great reply. But I wanted to add in a note that I took homeopathic medication to balance my hormones and then for the start of my menses. And now the doctor is prescribing me medication for the regulation of my cycles. And I also wanted to ask that what are the results of the causes that you mentioned earlier? And if I loose weight then will I be able to have my cycles regularly?
Avatar f tn Im on medication for depression and anxiety. Also occasionally I have a sedative in case I go bizzercerz. Would that hurt my child more than stress would?
Avatar f tn It depends on which medication, there are some that are safe. Ive been having issues with it, because ive already taken all the ones that are safe at one point and there are very few that are safe.
1211076 tn?1303519440 The side effects to me are worse than the depression. That has also made me have a fear of medications. I have anxiety also. I take 1 mg klonopin total throughout the day. Anything higher makes me feel like a zombie. A bit of my history. I was misdiagnosed for 2 years and had kidney cancer. My sister had thyroid cancer, so I had an ultrasound on my thyroid, I had it, too. Here I am..39 yrs old and 1 kidney and no thyroid.
