Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hi Bee & Friends, Can any of you tell me if you've ever heard of this or experienced this before? I will try to make this short and not bore you with the entire story. I was put on an ssri and benzo for situational anxiety in college ( too much coffee, not enough sleep, and lots of pressure with public speaking ). I was never sick. Outside of school, I was fine. I could tell my health was not as good as it used to be once I started these drugs, and when I came off them, my world fell apart. I was never ever depressed before taking them, nor sick, but I sure am now and have been for 3 years next month. I had to quit my job, and I have no life. My full time job now is trying to get well and reading and learning about natural healing. I've hit rock bottom and I feel this is the only way I stand a chance, because coventional medicine will kill me for sure by throwing more drugs at me. Anyway, I have been on the diet going on three weeks, and have slowly started incorporating the supplements. My problem is, I feel sooo bad, but when I take the supplements I feel even worse. I wake up in the middle of the night feeling electrocuted, and I feel like my insides are vibrating...kind of like a tuning fork. Yesterday I took a liquid B-Complex ( Eniva ), cod liver oil, calcium/Mag, Vit. C, trace minerals, and 3 tbsp of coconut oil. Today I feel like I've been plugged into an electrical socket. I got the results of bloodwork Friday. I am just a tad anemic, I have an elevated SED rate, and high HDL ( 193 ). LDL and triglycerides and all that other stuff was good. I know high cholesterol means nothing and I'm not worried about it. The doc was not concerned at all that I have an elevated SED rate...said it could be anything. Anyway, I was just wondering if any others feel jittery and slightly worse when taking supplements. I used to tolerate them well before I got sick from these drugs. Not anymore! Also, does anyone know why I had such a horrible experience with these rotten pills, when so many other people out there do well and think they are the greatest things ever? I took 25mgs of Zoloft and 1mg of Ativan for a little less than a year. I rue the day I ever went to the doctor and accepted those scripts. Is there hope for me, or am I screwed? Thank you sooo much for this website. I am learning lots. Bee, if it would be best I pay for a phone consult, please let me know.
