Re: re: order of cleansing and getting off of antidepressants
Pioneer, Doc10, etc.
Thank you for the information. I did go through the Pain and Stress Center web site and talked with the dr. who has been working with me. Very interesting that the first thing he suggested was the L Theanine, C's and Omega fish oil.
I am mad at the drugs and the drs out there. I have had five family members die of cancer over a five year period with the last one being my mother. I was her caregiver and the person with medical power of attorney. No one in the world prepares you for that, felt like I was pulling the trigger, signing those papers! I was diagnosed and operated on one month after her death. I didn't need all the cheme and radiation, but I was terrified when told that without it, I possibly could have a reoccurence. So when I couldn't sleep, I would have a glass or two (or more) of wine to go to sleep. I have no doubt that there are parasites and a congested liver, if not damaged, going on here. Yes, I take full responsibility for the things I have created in my life. But there is not any truth being told about these drugs, including the chemo and radiation!!!!! I had a hysterectomy two years ago when my oncologist, who I will never see again, saw a cyst on my ovary, which doesn't necessarily mean anything. She came into my hospital room after the surgery and said, Well guess what everything was fine, perfectly normal! (so why did you take it out? - I know the answer to that, cause I signed the papers) She didn't tell me I would feel like I hit a brick wall a year later (low estrogen, low testostorene and no detectable progestorone). After all those lies, then, there are the lies about these meds not being addictive! Ha, Ha Ha!!! Not Funny!
And, doc, my family is all army, we have "fight" in our blood. We were out in the driveway in the mornings, with my dad, exercising before breakfast when nobody was even up. Funny, my mother decided that juicing was going to cure her cancer (she had always been into health food, we didn't eat candy, cake, and stuff other kids did when we were growing up). She juiced everyday, but wouldn't give up her cigarettes. She survived a tumor in her throat and colon cancer, but pancreatic cancer was too much.
I don't know for sure that this is the right track - I think that it is. I now have vivid "dreams" when I know that I am awake but what I am experiencing in my head is just as real, that is terrifying to me. I know that this is not living, I have no real motivation, no sex drive and no real desire to be with my family. How can it be any worse off of these things? I was depressed after my divorce - crying everyday, felt like I was walking through mud, but no one suggested that my thyroid and hormones could have been out of whack. I have done therapy for years, I have finally gotten to some core issues so I know that that plays as a factor. But, I do remember life without meds and feeling normal, having a sex drive, and laughing and having fun and hurting and being sad. I want that back - I don't believe that life is lived feeling dull. I am scared and nervous about withdrawal. But, I do believe that I have many more years left and I do believe that I am the only one who can restore my health. It sure as hell won't be the pharma drs. I guess there will be days when I act like it, till I really feel like it. Sorry for the rant, it probably is this bundle of nerves that I am feeling going into all of this. I've done so many other things that I was afraid of doing, and I have survived, guess I can do this, too.
