i've become completely non-plussed with the idea of pharmaceutical treatments for my depression. i was on effexor for 4 years, and while it helped, the side effects created problems of their own. especially in the sexual arena. i got little help from my doctors, and none of them, not one, over the years, ever provided me with a diagnosis. recently i've come off of it. cold turkey. not the smartest thing in the world, but i lost my job and lost the funds to pay for it. my insurance refuses to pay for it. more and more i've become untrusting of pharmaceuticals, and have been looking for more natural ways to treat my depression. through my withdrawl period, i found that taking a b-vitamin complex helps my moods IMMENSELY. i'm investigating flower essences as treatment. i'm also wondering if anyone has any other information on holistic treatments for depression.
