4. I have been off medication for over 20 years now
after being addicted to tranquilizers/sleeping pills for 10 years (while in threrapy with a psychiatrist) and having awful side effects from anti-depressants later when I tried them.

This process was greatly aided by Homeopathy.

My GP was trained in Homeopathy, and now that he is retired I see a registered Homeopath/doctor whenever I feel I need to - about 3-4 times a year.

First I was given a remedy for my panic attacks, and later one(from table salt!!) for chronic depression.

I used to be phobic in many situations - at one very low point in my life I was agoraphobic outside my house, and claustrophobic inside....absolute hellish experience, I am sure some of you here can imagine.
I could not travel in busses/trains/airplanes and sometimes cars, but now I do it all in comfort. :bounce:

It took a few months for Homeopathy to do its job, and it was a very dramatic, although at the same time subtle, change that made me feel "reborn" in many ways. Depression with its gloom and doom lifted, I could think and concentrate again, I could make decisions and take steps to do stuff again, and have had no regressions since then.

I can also highly recommend trying this for those who find no or not enough relief from medications, as long as you do it with, in my opinion, a well-respected/known Homeopath and even more preferable, a doctor who is trained also in Homeopathy.

The Homeopathic remedies work different for each person - there really is not "a remedy" that works for all people for depression or anxiety - a complete picture of the person must be made before diagnosis.

I certainly am not without my problems, but dramatic healing took place with the help of this medicine, and my proof is in my 20 year experience and freedom from meds and from the most debilitating symptoms of my mental illness.

So happy to hear that you have found such great relief too from this gentle, inexpensive treatment.
Wow, this was an online treatment?

:hi:
