Hi,
I gained thirty pounds on Celexa a few years ago and acupuncture really helped me while I was dieting and exercising.
The acupuncture can stimulate your system to get rid of waste and toxins more efficiently as well as curb your appetite (Celexa turned off my "I am full" button!!). I believe your body chemistry changes with meds as well as your brain chemistry. All acupuncture does is stimulate your own body to heal itself & work more efficiently. Yes, it really does work. Trying it once or twice won't do it. Committing and going at least 4 times if not more gets your body in to a rythm; it's accumulative treatment as well as preventative.
(For those skeptics out there, I worked in an acupuncurist's office for years and saw many people get better through acupuncture. Acupuncture also has nearly obliterated all my asthma symptoms)
Good luck!! And keep exercising!!
Sarah
