Instead of trying to directly treat MS-related symptoms (such as depression), I

think your wisest course of action would be to employ a comprehensive approach

that includes a diet low in saturated fat (like the Best Bet Diet), exercise,

detoxification, a low stress lifestyle, food supplements, glyconutrients, Low

Dose Naltrexone (LDN), and a host of other things that some MSers have found

very helpful.

Well this group isnt really that type of " support group " but if you are

looking for help

we can try to give you some suggestions on what to do about the situation.

First, you didnt say why he didnt want to give you the medication ? there

has

to be some sort of reason. Maybe there is some sort of medical reason, I

doubt it, but you should ask. If he wont give you the medication I would at

least

want the reason why.

But that isnt really going to get you the medication you want, if you want

it

and he wont give it, then why cant you just get a new doctor ?

if there is some reason you cant do that, just go buy the medication

online.

It is really hard on the body to cold cold turkey with antidepression meds.Â

Doing it without tapering them down can cause increased anxiety, depression,

leading to suicidal tenancies.Â It is best if you want to get off of them to

have the doc. taper them down.

SAM-E is an amino acid that has been shown to have positive results with some

people and st. 's Worth.Â

You really need to try to find a doc though to help you deal with the issue of

not giving you the meds.Â I know what can happen when they are stopped

abruptly. I urge you to seek a new doc.Â

Antidepressant medication should not be stopped abruptly unless something is

substituted for it. You are going through withdrawal. The nuero transmitters in

the brain become used to the medication. Call the doctor back or call an on call

doctor and tell them you are going through withdrawal...don't suffer.

I agree with the others. This is actually my job now. I work at a detox center

that helps people wean off anti-depressants and other psychiatric drugs. It's

an 8-WEEK program, this is definitely not something to stop cold turkey. It

affects your brain chemistry and can cause a lot of horrible symptoms including

mania. Please speak with your doctor or the clinic where he works to discuss

this issue right away! If you have to, go to an urgent care or ER to ask for a

1-time prescription so you can wean yourself very slowly.

There is a website forum called paxilprogress.com. They will help you wean

down. Even most doctors have you taper too fast. It`s very very dangerous

to cold turkey.

Or try natural herbs if possible. I weaned myself off of anxiety medication

years ago using St. s Wort, Kava Kava....etc. Research on-line herbs that

are good with helping depression and take those. No side effects and (for me),

they worked great. Hope this helps!

Have you gone to your general practiciner? did the neuro tell you why he was not

going to refill the script? I would really recommend you contact your general

doctor and ask about getting (if nothing else) dosage to go off them gradually

as quitting cold turkey can cause problems.

I have been on antidepressants numerous times during my life and had no problem

weaning off them on my own pretty quickly. Most recently though I did get some

headaches. In contrast, weaing off benzos has been really tough for me.
