Re: CS>Depression/Anxiety

[Craig Chamberlin]

Hi Lou, I have had endogenous depression most of my life, as Steve mentioned his wife did.  I have also tried every anti-depressant known to man...until one day it was suggested that I try Welbutrin.  By the time I got home (I had taken one when I was at the pharmacy) and my wife saw me, she could discern from my appearance that something was different.  It worked that fast.  And I had no side effects from it. Since that time, my sister had menopausal related depression, and she took one Welbutrin and had the same result.  Then my wife suffered menopausal depression and Welbutrin worked for her the same way.  Then my sister-in-law, same cause of depression, took Welbutrin and voila. I AM NOT PROMOTING WELBUTRIN...but merely citing the fact that I have seen it work very well for *some* folks.  A side note: the generic version of Welbutrin has one of the highest number of problems for people.  I tried it, and thought I was going crazy.  I have also seen other anti-depressants work for other folks. It seems that most of the anti-depressant drugs don't work all that well for many people, but the people they do work for, they can work very well.  Problem is finding the one. One last comment.  In my case, having always been depressed, while taking Welbutrin, I paid attention to how it felt to not be depressed.  I realized that it had a lot to do with not focusing on the unpleasant things in your life, but noticing the pleasant things.  So, after three months, I stopped taking it and have been pretty much ok ever since.  I will relapse now and then...take Welbutrin for a few days...and then I am ok. I tried the SAMe and St John's Wort, but they didn't work for me *then* but if I have another episode I am going to give them a try. This is somewhat garbled because I am dealing with a bout of fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue, what have you and my brain isn't working all that well.

She has been seeing counselors and she was recommended to again take an depressants. She has tried Wellbutryn once for a month which gave her bad side effects like headaches and anxious and the latest Lexapro which also she can not stand the side effects. They are making her feel even worse, then better. Lexapro has been making her feel nauseas and dizzy which are some of the side effects is what I read. I finally got her to think about the natural route and I am trying to see if anyone out there can give me some solid holistic direction of what see can take to help her feel better to alleviate the depression anxiety and the usual hot flashes and everything else that comes with menopause, without these side effects..Can anyone direct me.   Thanks Lou from NY  __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4821 (20100130) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
