Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 I was writing this whole long email and the power went out but here is the short story.. Someone very close to me is on celexa, an antidepressant drug. When she first started taking it 2 years ago, she would get sick to her stomach, then that subsided. At the beginning of the summer, I introduced her to a healthier lifestyle. Before then she was getting sick all the time and on antibiotics. Through a combination of diet, colloidal silver, herbal remedies and green tea, she has not gotten sick or been on antibiotics at all since starting this change. Recently, though she has started to get sick to her stomach from the celexa again. She has trouble sleeping sometimes. I think her body is regaining some of it's energy and healing powers and trying to detoxify itself of the drug. I don't know though. I am confused here. It seems to make some sense though?? When her symptoms went away did that mean the drug toxified her body so much that it didn’t have the power to combat the toxins from the drug? This seems completely logical but I don’t know if I am on the right track. She is deathly afraid of going off the drug. I can't blame her. It has gotten her away from having stress related anxiety attacks. Obviously it was just getting at the symptoms not the cause but it allowed her to function normally again. I ran into this website http://www.prozactruth.com/taper.htm#currently It has info on how to taper off of anti-depressants. It requires one take immunocal to raise glutathione levels in the body. From my research it seems that immunocal is 100% natural. I know this isn't an herbal remedy but I respect the people on this list and would like some opinions and/or feedback on this supplement and this method. Maybe there is an herbal alternative to this? She has come so far and cleanses and additional diet changes are not really an option here. I feel that this hurdle is instrumental in her road to living a healthier life. I also feel that if I can help her get over this I can convince her to start taking some kind of total nutrition daily to prevent re-occurrence of the symptoms. Any help or any pointing towards the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
