i have been on prescription meds for some time to deal with this issue. i have asked doctors for thier advice on natural remedies, but they look at me like i’m crazy to consider it. one doc said lots of vitamin e would maybe help…
i don’t plan on completely quitting prescrip. meds, but i hate thinking of what they are doing to my body. if i could cut the doses down a little, with the help of natural remedy, i would even be happy.
pre-warning: my bipolar is a touchy subject, so please be thoughtful with your answers i hate to hear people tell me to think happier thoughts and i’ll feel better; or that if i had a better relationship with god i wouldn’t feel like i do. thank you!
as a side note: i work in an inpatient geriatric psychiatric unit, and you may be absolutely amazed at what prescription meds can accomplish! so far, there is no natural remedy that can completely take away the most severe disorders, and the havoc that they wreak on families. the worst cases of alzheimer’s, dementia, parkinson’s, severe bipolar, schitzophrenia… they can all be treated naturally to an extent, and you can help prevent them more that most people know by keeping a healthy lifestyle. i think that unless you have witnessed or experienced the most devastating illnesses, you will never believe that meds are a valid treatment.
the only way that i could safely and effectively raise a child was to take the only step that i feared the most- using prescription drugs. and it has changed my life for the good, and forever, whether i choose to stay on them or not. i just worry about the long term effects on my body.
btw, you can’t see a doctor and trust god?! freak.
