Hi all,
Has anyone had any experience with alternative therapies? Have you found them to be as effective as medication? I'm a Lexapro veteran of six years and I've recently, with the permission of a psychiatrist, weaned off of it completely. I went through a lot of withdrawal symptoms -- with anxiety and panic reaching an all time high. Before the drugs, I'd never had a panic attack. Now, I'm depressed again and still having problems with anxiety. After six years of being on these drugs, I think my body just doesn't know what to do. I don't want to go back on them as long as I can help it, so I was wondering if anyone would be able to suggest some good alternative therapies. Thanks so much.
Alternative Therapies
I am having some bad days since my husband and I had some very "eye opening" talks about the future. I just got to worrying and I was back on that old circle of anxiety and depression it just feeding upon itself. Anyone here on Seroquel? I am on full dosage again (300 mg.) for only 3 days and don't know it it's not working or am I just needing to talk to myself more.
I'm going to recover, I am recovering, each and everything I do makes me more recovered. I will do everything I possibly can to recover in the most healthiest way because I refuse to live a life based on fear, anxiety and depression anymore.
The medication helps, but is not a cure. Continue with the program. That will be your best medicine.
