I am in a very bad wave and need help because I feel too much tired of this long lasting battle. I had an appointment with my doctor(Homeopath) last week.He is a kind man but he does not recognize at all the W/D and my symptoms.I cannot walk easily because of the lack of balance and muscle weakness and he told me that I am too thin and I have to eat more.
He prescribed Saint Jonh Wort but I think this "med" has not a good effect because I feel again very depressive.I don't know what to do,I am desperate and sooo tired.

Hello Cosette, If i was you, i might quit the st johns wort, it affects your seretonin in your body, and with our brain and body chemistry so off the wall its best i think to stay away from it, especially if its making you more depressed, MAN!! im feeling horrible to cosette, will this ever end for us,. MY GOD!! Im like you Cosette, so so tired of all of this!
Thanks Shane! I stopped St Jonh Worts this morning.
How are you feeling ?

Cosette, just like you I visited several homeopathic/orthomolecular doctors and though I embrace their philosophy, it became apparent that they too are mostly clueless about prolonged WD, even though most of them are against the use of psychotropic meds.
Looking backward the supplements they gave me were pretty much useless. The only thing I got benefit from was massage therapy together with healing sessions. I would not visit a homeopathoc doctor unless fully recovered from WD.
Recovering from the ravages of withdrawal after 5 years on Paxil/Seroxat, originally prescribed for stress and, looking backward, PTSS.
Though it is hardly possible to get something positive from the utter hell of repeated c/t's and protracted w/d, all of this unnecessary, I still believe in the possiblity to emerge from this as a healed, wiser human being.
