2) Can you recommend any holistic treatment for depression in Maryland?

3) How effective is acupuncture in treating depression and do self treatment kits work?

We have until the 14th. Feb 2018. 

URGENT REQUEST Please consider submitting  for the petition on Prescribed Drug Dependence and Withdrawal currently awaiting its third consideration at the Scottish Parliament. You don't even have to be from Scotland. By clicking on the link below you can read some of the previous submissions but be warned many of them are quite harrowing.

http://www.parliament.scot/GettingInvolved/Petitions/PE01651   

Please tell them about your problems taking and withdrawing from antidepressants and/or benzos.

Send by email to petitions@parliament.scot and quote PE01651 in the subject heading. Keep to a maximum of 3 sides of A4 and you can't name for legal reasons any doctor you have consulted. Tell them if you wish to remain anonymous. We need the numbers to help convince the committee members we are not isolated cases. You have until mid February. Thank you

None of the published articles shed light on what ssri's ... actually do or what their hazards might be. Healy 2013. 

This is so true, with anything you get on these drugs, dependance, tapering, withdrawal symptoms, side effects, just silent. And if there is something mentioned then their is a serious disconnect between what is said and reality!

Over two decades later, the number of antidepressant prescriptions a year is slightly more than the number of people in the Western world. Most (nine out of 10) prescriptions are for patients who faced difficulties on stopping, equating to about a tenth of the population. These patients are often advised to continue treatment because their difficulties indicate they need ongoing treatment, just as a person with diabetes needs insulin. Healy 2015

I believe the ssri era will soon stand as one of the most shameful in the history of medicine. Healy 2015

Hi, Zara.

 

Welcome to SA.

 

NZ already asked some good questions, so please do let us know more.

 

We'll be able to answer more of your questions as you give us more information. If you are interested in coming off antidepressants, here are some links to get you started for "self treatment kits". I'm sure you can put together a great one with the links found here:

 

Non-drug techniques to cope with emotional symptoms

 

"Change the channel" -- dealing with cognitive symptoms

 

Neuro Emotions

 

 

This thread has information about acupuncture. Please note if you are dealing with antidepressant withdrawal, it's important that the acupuncture be "calming" as opposed to "stimulating".  This is because antidepressant withdrawal destabilizes the central nervous system, so stimulating treatments can actually make it worse. 

 

Acupuncture

 

Please fill in your signature, as described here: 

 

Please put your withdrawal history in your signature

 

Once we know more, we can provide more information. 

 

Again, welcome to the forum.
