Also excellent is the book " Your Drug May Be Your Problem " by Cohen and Breggin.

Very good instructions on how to taper off--the same guidance that Caleb

offered, with more detail on how and why. I've never been in the situation, but

have friends who have been and who succeeded in getting all the way off drugs.

from caleb: some common sense:

1) don't make any sudden changes, (as you know)

2) you've got to taper off very, very very gradually--especially if you've

been on them for

any length of time

3) you've got to be able to speak to your shrink honestly. Following doctor's

orders is

voluntary--unless you're a danger to yourself or others. He/she isn't your

boss. Present

your reasons for wanting to stop, and see if you can work out a plan.

4) whether you're hypomanic because of your own chemistry or from the drugs

depends

on your history and your family history. Bipolar disorder is too fashionable

these days.

The Lexapro and Wellbutrin could be making you somewhat manic.

5) The Lamictal, I guess, is to prevent the danger of seizures from the

Wellbutrin and the

Lexapro--or something.

This multiple-drug combination seems a little fishy, but I guess it's not

uncommon.

How long have you been taking these drugs?

My 79-year old mother got a label of " bipolar " slapped on her recently--why?

she had an

atypical manic reaction to Zaprexa. This would be a joke if it were funny.

She's never

been manic her whole life, nor has any of her parents or siblings. It was the

drugs.

I'm not a doctor, and I'm only giving conventional wisdom.

If you've been taking these drugs for any length of time, it will take your

brain a long time

to adjust--be patient.

There are support groups, there's even this forum:

http://www.psychforums.com/index.php

(Today, I'm told, they are having trouble due to bad weather...)

Good luck. Be patient. It's a long process.

Good for you, my first suggestion is find out why you are on those meds.

I suggest first getting some labwork done I suggest all the thyroid tests,

sex hormones, the vitamin/minerals, cortisol, the iron work up, sugar.

These are all very important.

With thyroid make sure they run the free t4 and free t3 along with total t4

and total t3.

If you would like my opinion once you get them please feel free to email me

and I'll give you my 2 cents. I don't trust dtrs when they say oh you are

in range.. My ferritin is in range.. but it was very low range, bringing it

up has helped me big time (still got aways to go).

When weaning off anti-depressants do one at a time.

There are several homeopathic remedies that I wouldn't trade for the world.

They helped me so much getting off my meds. One is nux vomica that helped

with the nausua.

Hope this helps. hugs

Yeast overgrowth - stool analysis (best), blood or urine

Food allergy testing blood or electrodermal

Hormone testing

-TSH

-Free T4 and Free T3 (note the word " free " ) don't' let your dtr talk you out

of -Free T3 this is important!!!

-Thyroid Antibodies (anti-TPO and TgAb. YOU NEED BOTH.)

-DHEA

-Adrenals Cortisol levels (but we strongly recommend saliva tests, not the

one time blood test your doctor will do)www.canaryclub.org is the best place

to do saliva testing insurance does not usually cover

Or just do the blood cortisol and it should be over 17. Adrenal issues can

cause panic attacks.

-testosterone

-estrogen

-progesterone

detoxification profile

Vitamin and mineral analysis (especially magnesium B12, folic acid b6, b1,

vitamin D 25 OH vitamin D, selenium)

Anemia - blood test (cbc, iron, ferritin (this is a must should be over 90

in range), % saturation)

Blood sugar balance - blood

toxic metals - urine or hair analysis (this is important but not necessary

at first)

amino acid analysis - blood or urine

Hi ,

Perhaps the following link might be of interest of how Lyme can

affect the heart and that there can be improvement once treatment

has begun...

*******************

Saw the following University of Pennsylvania 'Alumni News' article

where Dr. successfully treats father for Lyme

Disease.

ILADS: Dr. treats Father for Lyme Disease

http://www.upenn.edu/gazette/0907/pro04.html

Class of '87 | After suffering for 30 years from what doctors

repeatedly identified as a cardiac disease of unknown origin,

developed heart failure severe enough to bring him to the

verge of a heart transplant. Fortunately, the procedure was not

needed.

was diagnosed and treated for advanced Lyme disease—one of

the fastest spreading epidemics in the world, and one of the most

debilitating. Since his treatment a decade ago, has enjoyed

the benefits of normal cardiac function.

If Lyme is detected and treated properly at the onset of infection,

there are usually no long-term medical repercussions. Left untreated

or under-treated, however, it becomes an insidious illness, often

inducing a myriad of acute and chronic neurological,

musculoskeletal, rheumatologic, cardiac, and neuropsychiatric

symptoms. Lyme has been identified in medical journals as a probable

cause of multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus,

fibromyalgia, Alzheimer's, and Lou Gehrig's disease, to name a few.

For saving his life (and making it worth living again), can

thank Dr. W'87—his son, who happens to be a leader

in the fight against Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. After

graduating from Wharton in 1987, the younger was preparing

to enter the business world when a friend who had recently finished

medical school dared him to pursue a career in medicine.

That dare would end up saving—and improving—a lot of lives.

has focused his efforts on combating Lyme ever since he began his

residency at the Yale University School of Medicine in 1993.

" I knew a lot of people with Lyme from home, " the New York state

native says. " Lyme has its fingers in so many disease states

of `unknown etiology.' Even if [it] contributes to only a small

percent, the implications are staggering. "

A significant percentage of the medical community still resists

accepting Lyme and related tick-borne diseases as such severe

threats. " Medical dogma changes slowly, over decades, " says

, who remains confident that his work will ultimately

enlighten his colleagues.

In 1996, he stepped away from his research on the microbiology and

immunology of B. Burgdorferi (the Lyme bacteria) and established a

private practice. Today, operating from his cozy clapboard base camp

in Wilton, Connecticut, wears a casual button-down shirt

and blue jeans. The perpetually ringing telephones and fax machines

are manned by three women—one of them his mother, Gladys. Despite

his laidback demeanor and arid sense of humor, has a

reputation for caring intensely for each patient.

By the time they arrive at his door, most of his patients have

already sought the aid of other doctors in every medical field.

is not committed to commonplace Lyme protocol, and he does

whatever it takes to alleviate his patients' suffering and improve

the quality of their lives. As a result, he's in high demand.

" There's a wait of a few months, two to six depending on the time of

the year, " he says. His patients come from all 50 states and many

Western European countries.

Lyme patients are not the only people seeking his expertise. Network

television and syndicated radio programs have sought his commentary.

The governments of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York—all in

the epicenter of tick-borne diseases—have invited him to provide

testimony. His presentations have prompted legislation to fight Lyme

and increase education efforts.

In his critique of " Lyme Disease Testing " (Lancet Infectious

Disease, March 2006), makes clear that Lyme disease is

taking on epidemic proportions because of the nonexistent efforts to

improve an atrocious testing and reporting system—and he implicates

government agencies, like the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention.

Having served as president of the International Lyme and Associated

Diseases Society (ILADS), is now a member of the

professional advisory board for the Turn The Corner Foundation—a

group more focused on funding research and treatments.

With the lay population still mostly ignorant about Lyme,

wishes he could go on a speaking tour, in order to " educate so

patients may have more access to medical care, " on a broader scale.

In the meantime, he enjoys being a jock in his spare time. As a

former instructor, the doctor has a particular soft spot for tennis,

but there are other games he enjoys, too:

" Any sports that don't involve tick exposure. "

I was diagnosed with Lyme in the summer of 2005. I have dealt with

yearly bouts ever since. I have been to doctors who say, " you must

have gotten bit by a tick again " Like I would allow that to happen

again! Anyway, I have a new symtom and want to know if its related to

the Lyme. The right side of my face, tingles, like as if it fell

asleep. I have called my neuro guy and cant get an appt. until April!

I have already been dealing with this particualer facial thing for a

month now. Its begining to drive me crazy. Has anyone out there had

ths symptom and been diagnosed as it being related to Lyme?

Thanks for any help on this subject.

I have never had that problem. I would say it is related but you need to get

it checked to make sure it is not something new.

I am not sure if this could be Bell's palsy or not, but it is a symptom of

Lyme involving the nerves in the face.

Bambi, from what I have researched that is a Lyme symptom. That is why

Bell's Palsey is one of the mis diagnoses for Lyme Disease. Hope this

helps. Sincerely,

You could always just run it by them and assure them that, by all

means, if they really need you, you would be willing to stay and work

for them. You could let them know that you feel like you are wasting

their time by not feeling 100% and performing as such. That way you

will get an honest answer. If they need you and would be displeased

with you taking time off then they will let you know. If they don't,

then No Problem, and you just got yourself a week of rest!

On another note, if you think there may be a point where your health

is really suffering due to the stress of Candida and life later on,

maybe you should consider saving that " time off " . I understand your

concern about how it will look, being so new to the company. But if

you feel you really truly need the time than I would listen to your

body. I'm with ya girl! That's a tough call! In the end I am sure you

will make the right decision. I know we could all use a week of rest

from time to time, unfortunately we live in a society that doesn't

really allow for that. It is a shame. Best of Luck! Crystal

I don't think I would ask off. I would try as hard as I could to wrap

my brain around what they want me to do while they are gone. Do you

have any techie friends/experts you could call for advice?

Hi a,

I know how you are feeling. I've had some rough days these last few

months at work where i wasn't able to do much besides try to stay

awake and browse the internet. I was also reproached by the big boss

during our yearly evaluations for being sick too often, so am

particularly careful about taking time off.

Some strategies i found that help:

-plan my hard work in the morning, BEFORE i eat breakfast (egg drink

i bring with me). I find that supplements + electrolyte drink + mint

tea can carry me through a few hours of clear mindedness. once i

start eating though i tend to fall into a lull.

-go for a walk if i can after lunch, again, i find it helps with the

lull in the afternoon.

-some days i feel so bad i actually go home at lunch for an enema

because i know i won't be able to make it through the day otherwise.

on days where i have a need to be on my game 100% i do enemas in the

morning before coming into work.

-some afternoons i can't even focus one bit after lunch and i do

things like filing or cleaning out my inbox -- cause that's about all

i can handle.

I think that's just some routine's i've adapted to to meet with my

demanding job (actually, the other, non-coding side of what you do, I

write user requirements and train people to use applications). And I

know, writing something coherent is not easy when you have brain

fog...

Some more random thoughts on the subject:

-you probably notice your non-productiveness more than others do. I

am also a bit of an overachieve and paranoid that someone will

realize that yes, on bad days, i actually do (during work) spend 2

hours browsing this site or ordering vitamins or making shopping

lists. truth is: they don't. I'm someone who is so used to giving

600% at work that I forget that even on my bad days I'm still being

as productive as the next person.

-work on what you feel you can work on

-don't beat yourself up over it, your health is important and it's OK

that you focus on your health more than you are focusing on your job.

get used to 'working to live' rather than 'living to work'. everyone

else does. (ok, i live in Europe where the mentality is slightly

different)

-if you feel that your colleagues are asking questions about the

quality of your work, then i would confide in someone. just tell

someone that you're going through a hard time, a long-term treatment

for a health problem, and that you're trying the best you can. i told

my supervisor, and turns out his wife was diagnosed with gluten

intolerance (i suspect it may be candida but anyways), and turns out

he could actually relate to what I was going through because of it.

-if you feel like you really can't go in to work, go to a doctor and

get certification of your sickness. I do this (had to last week

actually), and even though the doctor prescribed me antibiotics which

i didn't take, he did allow me to have 2 days of rest and i just told

work people what the doctor told me -- i had a throat infection and

a fever. Funny how conventional work places need conventional

explanations.

anyways, this was my two cents worth, i really do feel for you

kristina. but don't worry, you can do this !

==>Hi Favour. Welcome to our group. Since you sent me a private email

as well, I won't repeat it on the group. Please get back to us after

reading with any questions or concerns. We are here to help you and

support you so you, too, can get well.

Wow Sara. You are doing a lot of enemas. Doing too many will

intefere with the normal functioning of the large colon. Other than

doing the 9-day Program you shouldn't do enemas except for every 4-5

days to allow time for the large colon to normalize in between. I've

heard of people becoming addicted to enemas, and that is because they

have done them too often.

Hi Bee -

maybe i mis-expressed myself, but i do about 2 per week. One on the

weekends usually, and one during the week. I just meant that if i

feel horrible on a wednesday, then i'll do an enema wednesday at

lunch - or like a few weeks ago I had UN meetings on a thursday all

day, so i did one in the morning of.

Hi Sara,

Thank you for all your recommendations. I found them very helpful. I did not

include all of them below so if anybody is interested look at post #48591.

Blessings,

Sharon

I can understand your thinking as you do.

Do you remember I told you I was going to check on a couple of other

things and I would get back to you when I was sure of all that you

really needed. I also would check to see if you still wanted to place

an order and have me do it for you.

I have not gotten the information I wanted to get from the developer

of the Angstrom Minerals, regarding the issues you and I spoke about.

Sooo, http://www.kornax.com is the place I told you ordering from

would be ok.

This is the same place I was going to place and order for you once I

was sure about what all you needed.

As I told you when you sent back the whole protocol I sent you, I

would not suggest ordering everything mentioned there and to please

wait until I checked with the author and the developer of the

minerals.

In light of these developments, I now feel that since you have an

issue with me, you can order yourself, it is easy. Just order the

five minerals I suggested. If you have gotten the book, the things

that are suggested there can also be ordered at that site.

I still think that if you got the Aloe Vera, that alone would help on

your way, along with ordering the books I suggested from Amazon, if

you have not already done so.

As for the timing of everything, did you check to see when your email

hit the group?

I have not had computer ability for a minute, and am just now getting

the emails out for the people that like you, are on moderation.

So, I am still here running the group and hoping that you will take

the advice given and order the book and the minerals I suggested from

Kormax.

Sharon, I have worked with hundreds of people and never have taken

anything from them, I am not a thief. I have had peoples credit card

numbers and much much more.

I have been late sending things to people or things I have sent did

not make it. But, I am sure that the people now have the items I

promised...I hope.

I am sorry that I was not able to do more for you.

I am still willing to listen if ever you need to talk or ask about the

minerals or anything thing else you might be interested in.

Rest easy that your credit card number information has been deleted

with my secure deletion service.

I wish you success in your desire to be balanced.

Hi-

Please feel free to come here with any question regarding any treatment. I'm

sure you'll find somebody who's family has had experience with it....

I'm so sorry to hear about your child's diagnosis.... but I am glad you found

us. Over the years, I have learned so much here... and I am still surprised by

the amount of comfort I am given by sharing with other parents. This is a safe

place to share your story and ask questions....

Best hopes to you-

Welcome. I am sorry your child has been diagnosed; I know this can be an

overwhelming time, with so much to accept and to learn (I am still learning

too).Would you be comfortable telling us a little about your child, their

diagnosis or what the doctor prescribed so far?

We have children of all ages here, with all sorts of diagnosis. My daughter is

17, she showed signs of arthritis by age 5, but it was always looked at as

" chronic tendonitis " which I now know is not normal for children...things really

got out of hand after a serious illness 2 yrs ago. She has only had her

" official " diagnosis since last August.

If you want to know about medications, you can go to the Arthritis Foundation

website (www.arthritis.org) and type in JA medications under the search, it will

give you the different classes of medications uses, and then specific drugs,

dosage, side effects, under each class of med.

This is a great group of parents, full of compassion and information. Let us

know how we can help you.

I understand how overwhelming this all is. I had lots of questions and still do

everytime my daughter, Jana, has a med change or increase. I have learned to

trust my rheumatologist, however I still ask many questions, and his general

response is that she is critically ill and getting her symptoms under control

takes precidence over my concerns about what they are doing to her body, her

brain cells, her ovaries, etc. what kind of questions do you have? what type

of diagnosis does your child have? there are lots of good sources on here if

you share a little more info. My daughter began symptoms at the age of 8 months

and is now 4 years old and handles her meds very well, most of the time. good

luck and please feel free to ask anything

and Jana 4 years old, systemic JRA
