Re: question on - does antidepressants stay in our fat cells

[Guest guest]

5-HTP works for me if the anxiety isnt too severe, when the anxiety is really

bad, sorry to say, but I have a couple beers, I hardly ever drink these days

otherwise, I did try b-complex stress formula but it makes me gag and super

nauseous

I have read that this class of meds not only stay in fat cells but in bone

marrow, cant remember where I read that, I have been more than two years out and

still feel a lot of the side effects, stuff I know for sure wasnt happening

before I was medicated

question on - does antidepressants stay in our fat

cells

I'm just curious. I just started exercising (and I even have lost a little

inches) but I've started having panic attacks again (which exercise should

help prevent I think) and just feeling really off. I have heard paxil can

and that is one that I was on for a good while. I've been off

antidepressants for a year now.

If this is the case does anyone know of supplements or things I can do to

help limit these sideaffects/withdrawal symptoms I'm going through. I do

know I went hypo to just recently so some of this off could be from being

hypo thyroid.

Thanks for any input.

hugs

I think a lot of folk would ask you how carefully you are tapering off

these anti-depressants .

I can give you a " psycho-therapy perspective " too though

Panic is an upsurge of flight and fight feelings but a good many

people will not know why at enough depth .. " Panic-attacking " is a

powerful internal defense against deeper feelings or difficult

emotional states that have not been easy to resolve (feel fully). Such

states etc go " sub-active " because at the time of their inception they

were threatening to expose and thus they remain with a meaning of

" internal threat " ..

I know about this because I've faced some child abuse issues in

therapy but there are other painful issues in people lives that can be

rendered as threatening half memory states..

Reactivation of those sub active feelings and states occurs when

internal defensive neuronal " gating " becomes weaker (coming off anti-

depressants) There are two ways to go then . One is to increase the

" gating " again of those internally sub-activated states or one faces

what those underlying states really mean ..

There are some people who prefer to build their own new defenses up

over time though and try to ignore what it is that drives the panic ..

Panic attacks are mainly driven though by internal states as I say

that feel threatening ..

Graduated facing of those states too can yield release (its different

for everyone) but its done ideally with care and if anyone chooses

that way and the therapist feels wrong then fuck them off ...

Taper them quickly !

Before I clicked on your post my plan was to repond to you and

recommend you have your thyroid checked. There is another problem

though that you need to do some research on. Most doctors under treat

thyroid. Let me guess you are most likely on synthroid, levothyroxin

all synthetic hormones that just treat either T3 or T4. The other

biggy is they never check the adrenals. I am going to give you a link

and I suggest you start doing some research. Many people with

subclinical thyroid conditions are Dx with other illness like

depression, and fibromyalgia. The best thyroid med to take is armour

thyroid. go to this website.

Hi Micki,

I'm willing to be that any fat stored whilst you were on

antidepressants has some of the drug stored with it.

It would make sense if you are feeling those drug induced

side effects/feelings again. And if that is the case then

you can probably keep sweating the toxins out and

feel better when they are out.

Thanks jim,

Dang antidepressants and stupid dtrs. My niece just went on Zoloft my heart

is aching for her. She's like I'm not doing the roller coaster (of

switching meds) I'm like yet. But she is someone that has to live and learn

and I was like that too. But ya think if you saw or heard a loved one go

through all the crap I did to get off and all the switching of meds you'd

try to stay off. She also has hashimoto's thyroid. So she gets the swings

and if you don't have a cutting edge dtr on thyroid they will keep you sick

even if they are nice and friendly and seem like they listen. So I hope it

doesn't mess her up like it did me.

I will keep sweating as soon as I get over this cold. I see my endo wed and

will get results from the cortisol test he did because I did have a panic

attack recently, which is probably from the adrenals. Oh also my niece is

like your situation is different then hers. Yes it is. She lost a dad at a

very young age to suicide and then her mother a few years back to suicide.

I lost my brother to suicide and I also had some very bad things done to me

as a young child that I had to deal with in my early 20s. But it all still

stems back the adrenals. but what do you do with a know it all. I was so

like her when I was her age. Anyways keep her in her prayers. oh and she

said the medicine is making her feel better. more like comatose because she

didn't have the same bounce in her voice. but who am I to tell her that.

Micki,

I'm so glad to hear you have a really good Doc. It sounds like he will

get to the bottom of the problem, Also you are well informed thank god.

I just recently had to bring my 13yr old granddtr out of state and pay

out of pocket to a natropathic doc that specializes in endocrin. She is

having lots of thyroid symtoms and MD keeps blowing it off. He'd put

her on ritalin fast enough though.

I just have one other suggestion regarding the anxiety when you work

out. I used to be workout aholic years ago. I would get really bad

heart palpatations and light headedness, scared the shit out of me.

Especially when I was doing cardio and got my heart rate up. Found out

it was low bloood sugar. Changed my workout time and made sure I had a

glass of orange juice before and it seemed to do the trick.

keep me posted.

Peggy
