Most antidepresants will be the same! – Naturopathic Medicine Network

I went on Paxil almost 2 years ago, very small dosis. I completely trusted the Dr. But not only all these medication are way too expensive, the withdrawal symptoms are horrible, not well explained before you get on it, and the side effects are even worse. I had a small hiatal hernia, and trying all these made my stomach problems worse: I now have an ulcer from all these and other factors. I was able to get of it slowly. The only way to get of it and continue without it is to thrust yourself, and go to a doctor/therapist with clear open mind. If your doctor doesn’t want to hear you, or jusifies the medication side effects, then go to another – is your body and your mind. You are the only one who can take you out of the misery. No miracle prescription is going to do it. But it takes a lot of effort and positive well being, and very good receptive friends and family. Don’t be alone, as you are not alone. I’m still there, coping with it, but without any medication…is being 4 years, I kinda know what’s wrong with me…
