SUGGESTS they are "covering their butts" TO CAPTURE ALL THOSE WHO HAVE PRESCRIPTIONS (of course, they have the insurance data base at the NIH)... so here goes another round of FAKE MANDATES....OMG...what else is coming after THIS???
I have been on duloxetine for a long time and on antidepressants since I had cancer. I took it because I went into menopause while taking chemo but then had to have a hysterectomy when I was only 34 and that kicked me into permanent menopause. I was told that studies show that antidepressants help with the side effects of surgical menopause, hotflashes, mood swings etc. I also have severe neuropathy and they help with that. I also take Gabapentin for the neuropathy. I don't trust my doctor in helping me get off these meds. I tried getting off the gabapentin but the neuropathy was really unbearable I am not crazy that is for sure just circumstances. I am not getting any vax for it. I will go off the duloxetine. I will cry everyday I don't care.
Both of those meds are nasty and are difficult to withdraw from. The gabapentin is a seizure drug and the duloxetine works to increase serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. The problem with drugs like the duloxetine is that over time there is a downregulation of the number of receptors which makes getting off of it absolute hell. It can take up to a year or more for the brain to heal. We see the same types of effects in people that abuse drugs like meth and cocaine. There is a decrease in the number of receptor sites for dopamine and it can take time for the brain to reach homeostasis again.
Neither of those drugs were ever studied to be used over the long haul for conditions like depression and the use of gabapentin for neuropathies is an off-label use of the medication. Funny how they can use these meds off-label, but using HCQ or Ivermectin off-label is unthinkable. Even antidepressants like Paxil and Prozac were only studied for the short term use in depression while other strategies should be sought for long term treatment. Practitioners just write the scripts and hand the stuff out like it is candy. Pharma knows these drugs change the brain making them extremely addictive. Who the hell wants to feel like crap trying to get off of them when a person still has to take care of their responsibilities. There will be no easy way to get off those meds - but it can be done - slowly. The key is to titrate down in small increments while at the same time incorporating alternative things like vitamins and supplements.
The amino acid GABA can be used in place of the gabapentin. GABA is the inhibitive neurotransmitter that gabapentin is based upon - only it doesn't come will the side effects of a prescription drug. Vitamin B-12, Folic Acid, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Pantethine help to treat neuropathies. I have had some success treating patients with a homeopathic product called NerveFix by NaturalCare for neuropathies along with the supplements I just mentioned. All of them were able to stop taking the gabapentin. Valerian root standardized extracts can be used for the anxiety and nerve jitters that can accompany reducing these meds. As far as depression, Omega fatty acids are critical for brain function as well as higher levels of vitamin D. Blood vitamin D levels should be maintained around 70-80 ng/ml. Severe depression can even go to levels of 100 ng/ml. The brain needs healthy fats to function properly. Any and all artificial sweeteners and food additives like MSG MUST be stopped. Our modern highly processed foods are killing us. Sam-E is very helpful with depression but cannot be used with the Cymbalta.
The drug companies know that a person is not left with many alternatives that can be used while taking them thus making it harder to stop. The long term addictive problems with these medications is not fully disclosed to patients when those prescriptions are initially given. My advise is to find a good alternative practitioner to help with the transition if you are really serious about getting off of these poisons.
Oh I am dead serious. I am on several different vitamins and supplements. Thank you for all the information, this is very helpful. It is hard to find a good doctor these days. I would like to see a good Christian doctor if I can find one. Again thank you so much.
You are most welcome. It is a difficult road, but it can be done. A regular MD is not going to be of much use to you - especially these days. So, find a homeopathic MD or osteopathic MD that focuses their practice on alternative treatments. You may be able to find them listed in free publications in your community on health. We have one where I live that has very informative and useful articles written by the different alternative providers that advertise their practices. In addition, I didn't mention the fact that along with the supplements, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may also be of some benefit to you. That was too young to have your system disrupted like that. My mother is in her eighties and had a hysterectomy at 29. She is still taking hormone replacement but uses the bioidentical. Good luck and God bless you in your journey to freedom.
antidepressants are wicked, so of course doctors love to prescribe them. have you tried CBD/marijuana? can really help with moods and addictions...and ivermectin and HCQ can help with the neuropathy.
I have tried CBD. Maybe I need to take a little more. I have been wearing some compression socks which helps now that it is getting colder. I doubt my doc will give me ivermectin or HCQ. I know I can make my own HCQ, I may try that. Thank you.
you're welcome & might be worth a try. I had a stroke/constant pain in my foot. got some HCQ, and took it for an infection, and it ended up clearing 80% of pain in one weekend & it was something i'd been dealing with for 5 years & multiple doctors. mayo even wanted to give me antidepressants for it, thought if i was 'happy' i wouldn't feel it, amazing how they never want to 'fix' the problem.
