You are doing a great thing by going Cold Turkey I'm doing the sub thing and is going good for me but I really wish I had gone CT really.
Good luck
To Galdy;
Seriously. A Drug Free Life! Yes! Yes yes yes! Geez what ever it takes to get there I am right there with you. I currently have a nice sublingual B12 tab under my tingue and just threw the bottle in my purse. I'm getting overwhelmed being back at work and functioning like a 5 year old.
I agree with absolutley everything these people have said. Excellent diet. Perricone is great, so is SuperFoods Px. Vitamins and amino and The Thomas Detox.
I don't know that show Intervention; but I can imagine it was pretty terrifying. I never ever thought I would find myself in anything resembling cold turkey withdrawals, but here I am! They say that God never gives us more than we can handle. I hope that's actually true.
Heed the excellent advice, and take time to rest and rejuvinate the body. Exercise even if it is light stretching.
Love and healing,
Emly
You can do the Amino's (are you thinking 5-HTTP / SamE?) as long as you arent taking an SSRI (selective seretonin reuptake inhibitors) - the rest of the Amino's are good no matter what - neither lexapro nor wellbutrin are SSRI's..........
I agree w/ Melissa. Diet, exercise and regurlar sleep are huge factors. There is also something from a company called TRIVITA, they sell vitamins. There is a product that is sublingual B12 and folic acid. You put it under your tongue and let it dissolve. Most people have a hard time getting B vitamins into their system. This is one of the best out there.
Hi Galdy,
I would try the amino acids. I don't know how long it takes for the Lexapro to leave your body. But in the meantime exercise, eat right and take regular vitamims. Hopefully someone can tell you so you can take some of the stuff that can't be used with anti depressants. Good luck it will get better!
Melissa
