Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I have a general question for the group regarding Aropax, a SSRI. I've seen on this site where SSRI's are not recommended for someone seaking Kundalini, but I have an elderly parent that I believe is suffering from depression. My wife's mom went through this, and she is now happy and loving life, after she started taking this medication. At 89, I think it could hardly hurt my mom, but since I know that several people on here have taken it, I thought I'd get some opinions. Thanks..

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 If your mom needs medication and could benefit from it, then she should absolutely take it. SSRIs may interfere with kundalini, but there is no reason why a non-K person shouldn't take them. One size doesn't fit all.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Okay thanks Sel - that is kind of what I thought - just didn't know of any possible draw backs to it... Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Hi, Paul, My first husband died, suddenly. I married again - too soon. After a couple of years, I went into a depression. I decided that I needed to " talk to somebody " . When a psychiatrist heard about my Experiences, and noted that I was depressed, he gave me SSRIs. Pronounced me - Bipolar ... Said that I indulged in " Magickal Thinking " !!! I tried several different SSRIs. They didn't help me. At one point, I had to make notes in order to remember what I was supposed to accomplish - each and every day. I was in a fog. All of my " spiritual growth " went on Hold. I slowly lowered my dosage, and got off of them. I knew that I wasn't " Bipolar " !!! I never came across Aropax, and, I don't know what to advise you about your mother. I just don't think that it's possible to take SSRIs, and seek Kundalini at the same time. It " numbs " you too much, IMHO. I think that your mom's " mental health " should take priority at this time. Then, maybe, in a short time, she could seek ... Love and Blessings, Fenix , " paulrffff " <paulrf2 wrote: > > I have a general question for the group regarding Aropax, a SSRI.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Thanks Fenix... well I don't want to introduce more issues, but depression can really be debilitating - more so than I used to think. My mother in law seems to be feeling great. Her family is thrilled. But knowing her, and her age, it is probably a minimal dosage... Thanks for your comments, and I'm glad you're better and off of them :-) Many blessings..

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Well, just like with any drug, there ARE possible side effects to SRIIs. However, that's something you'll need to negotiate with a physician rather than us sorcerers and wizards, LOL!

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I do not approve of SSRIs at all. I believe the are mind toxins. However at 89 quality of life takes over from quantity of life at least that is how my caregiving clients and I would determine it. So if your parent wants this and understands what is at stake and that this may have side effects - informed consent in other words, then it is up to them yes? - Just my take - chrism --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Dear Paul - As a physician, I can say that I have seen both ends of SSRIs. Some people respond beautifully to them, but others go into a daze/brain fog state and some become suicidal. My personal opinion us that the risk/benefit ratio just does not justify their use and I personally would not care to carry the legal liability for prescribing them. ALL SSRIs alter neurotransmitter levels in the brain. Guess what though? There are actually articles in the accepted medical literature to show that meditation does also.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I think most people could benefit from a little alteration. :-) But I understand what you mean about the risk/benefit ratio. I won't push for them then. I guess prayer and healing intention will have to do. Thanks Melissa, and I'm so happy you're making progress. We're all pulling for you. Many blessings...
