So I am going through a tough time with depression and anxiety, seeking out alternative medicine for treatment. I have with in the past several months become extremely emotional (lots and lots of tears) and my doctor was surprised to find that I am not emotional around my boyfriend. I was speaking with the psychologist and she told me that my boyfriend was my "stabilizer", which impressed her and my doctor, but leaves me confused. I guess I was just wondering how it works. I was trying to google it but I can’t find anything. I was wondering if anybody have ever heard this before or knows any suggestions of where i can look to inquire further. Thanks!
I just recently moved to California and found a great doctor that was able to recommend marijuana to me as an alternative to all the pain pills I have been taking to help with my chronic pain and insomnia. I found out that marijuana helps treat many other conditions including depression, anxiety, migraines, nausea etc. Now I can legally grow, consume and transport marijuana as my medicine in California. I can legally grow six mature plants or 12 immature plants and have up to 8 ounces as my personal medicine. Im so thrilled with my new doctor that I am telling everyone who could possibly benefit, to check out there website at www.accsocal.com, feel free to email me for more about my story.
Since first grade my parents have known I’ve had terrible anxiety issues. And I guess after first grade it kind of not went away but was under control. So, we thought that was then end of it.
Back in September, I started to have really bad anxiety attacks and my parents took me back to a psychologist and we found out I had bipolar, which runs in my family. From September until January I had tried 5 different medicines, none of them really worked and I haven’t taken them since. I was okay with out them for a while, since they weren’t really to control depression issues but the manic side. I personally don’t want to take the pills because I don’t like how I feel when I’m on them, and the depression isn’t a problem right now. But since I think February my sleep cycle has been really messed up, when I was on meds. my sleep was under control. But I can’t sleep at night, and when I do normally get to sleep it’s around 5am. (Back in September my parents pulled me out of school because I had missed to much) I don’t think it’s insomnia because it will be like one day I won’t sleep at all, the next day I can sleep for over 14 hours, the day after that I’ll have normal sleep and then it will repeat. My parents have been worried, but since I have been getting work done and my sleep is the only thing thats really messed up they haven’t been pushing me to take medicine. My sleep pattern is starting to bother me, and I don’t want to have the constant changes in it.
To the question, are there any natural, or alternative treatments for bpd? Medicine right now is not going to be an option. I’ve been looking into alternative treatments, and some say a good schedule will help. Any tips on how to help get my sleep pattern normal again?
Thanks.
I was prescribed mirtazapine a few weeks ago for depression. I only took them for ten days. But stopped cos I didn’t want to get hooked and I didn’t want to become a zombie.
I decided to go my own route and take supplements from a health food shop.
I bought Seretone 5HTP, St John’s Wort and Evening Primrose Oil.
I’m feeling much better than I was, and have been taking them for 10 days now.
Anyone else used alternative medicine to beat depression? If so, what? I want to fill myself with as many good things as possible 
bawbag… I totally agree. The very fact I was prescribed them scared the cr!p out of me. Well done to you too, I will try the water & diet, thanks

I take Wellbutrin XL for anxiety and depression. I have no concerns with it, and its helped alot The thing is I do not want to be dependent on antidepressants. Are their any alternative medicine products that are all natural and help with the symptoms of anxiety and depression? Thanks!
L-Tryptophan! I think it’s great for anxiety and depression. It’s the only thing I’ve ever tried that has a emmediate effect. I just thought I would pass this on. Better hurry and get yours before the Government finds out that it really works. Pharmaceutical companies will kill to get this off the market. Because it’s natural and you can’t patent it. I’m on a 1000 mg twice a day. Hope this helps someone.
I am a 35 yr old, I have suffered from Anorexia most of my life, now I have added stress of hubby starting own business, I am dropping weight like crazy, anyone know a good alternative medicine to calm nerves, I can’t exercise and I’m trying to eat healthier, not easy, if I’m nervous, no food! It’s not that I feel fat, I just can’t eat if I’m upset/worried, etc. Any help, REALLY APPRECIATED.
I would like to find the best available information
that I can about various natural and herbal supplements, ie: alternative medicines; health
supplements and their uses. I currently take
prescription meds for depression and anxiety,
which I have serious reservations about. Where
can I find information, not from a herbal supplements sales site. Researched information
that is not in the business of making money from the sales of the supplements. Thank you.
