Re: Freaking out as Doc orders antidepressant/Trapper

Hi Trapper,

This is the reason for my post. Maybe I have not been explicit enough: I just refuse to go with the drug remedy. I know that herbs can be (and are) a true remedy for most conditions. I have (through the help of Curezone and my own personal research and experiments) studied natural and alternative medicine on my own for the past 12 to 15 years and by the way your forum is one that I visit often and where I have gathered a lot of good sense info.. But sometime, as it is the case in Depression I feel the need to ask people who have more knowledge than I have. When you are depressed believe me it takes a lot of courage just to post on a forum and ask for help. I refuse totally to go with any type of drug and my Doc knows it (I chosed him 10 years ago because he is a D.O. I guess that since then the drug companies have been able to "purchase" his cooperation)..I even sent him to hell when he suggested a colonoscopy!

But this is not the point. ALL i am asking is:
Besides St john's wort which I have been taking for years what are the herbal remedies, tinctures etc... that I should be taking to get out of this condition which I have to confess is seriously damaging my life and the one of my better half. Nothing else.

If I do not get any feedback which I would understand, then I will be on my own and take the decisions on my own. They will be to consume (and of course to first order) nerve formula and brain tonic. I will be my own doctor taking my own responsibility.I guess that with the help of my VERY strong Cayenne tincture I would be sending these healing herbs to where they have to go! Schulze says that you can take any herb you want for a particular ailment but if these herbs do not get to their final destination (via the help of Cayenne) you are just wasting your time, your efforts and your money. I have always taken Cayenne tincture on a daily basis and it might have saved me from serious damage in episodes of real high anxiety (You know when you think you are not going to make it because you do not know if you are having a heart attack or a panic attack) in extremely high doses. A severe anxiety attack in May saw me absorb perhaps 30 to 40 dropperfuls of it in 30 minutes!

Basically I was just asking for a second opinion.

I thank you for your answer, and believe me, since you wrote it and were concerned enough to write it I will not (and have not) mix herbs and Big Pharma stuff to treat the same symptom.It is always nice to hear someone confirm what you feel.

Thanks again Trapper.
