Hi blog readers

I have now made it to the end of week 8 .. in other words, day 56 after stopping the use of taking an anti-depressive called Lexamil 10mg. The start  of  this week was a little shaky at first, the worst day was Monday, for some or other reason, I cannot explain exactly why, the good news however is I came through it.

This week, unlike other weeks, I have noticed an increase in the levels of anxiety. I made use of Rivotril only on Monday just to get stabilised. But as the week dragged on, I could feel the levels of anxiety increasing. So suffice it to say, I feel a little rough around the edges.

I was looking into the use of complete natural remedies for anxiety and/or depressive disorders this week. I don’t know why I have not thought about it sooner, but I am convinced that I would have had a much more smoother ride if I was to have used all natural remedies to assist in the withdrawal.

In the past, that is about 1 - 2 years ago, I attempted to go on a natural remedy that contained the ingredient called St. John’s Wort … But I failed as I never fully understood the process of what and how it works, and subsequently I gave up on it. I have been looking around the web for a local source of natural remedies and this week I found exactly what I was looking for.

I came across two very interesting web sites .. 1. http://www.onlinetherapist.co.za and 2. http://www.feelgoodhealth.co.za     

Anyways, I decided that I was going to try the natural remedy offered called PureCalm and MindSoothe … so I will keep you posted on what effects these are having and if there are any real benefits in using this stuff or not.

By the way, the only reason why I am considering using this stuff now, is that I can definitely feel that the AD meds are now well and truly no longer in my system, and the after affects of the use of the AD has left it’s mark. So I think I need something to just calm the nerves a little to give me a smoother ride to the end.

 My head still “feels like a soccer ball”, but if I compare it to say last week, there is some improvement, and if I compare it to say 4 weeks ago, there is major improvement. So overall, I have to say, although the improvement is slow, it is steadily happening, one thing for sure is, it’s not getting worse, on the contrary, it’s definitely getting better.

I cannot wait to see this last symptom take a final hike and be out of here… and I so long to the day, that I can say, it’s finally all over. No more symptoms, no more struggling, no more anxiety.

God help us all in this endeavor to get to that place of absolute peace and quiet within ourself, we have to make a concious choice to TRUST and FULLY rely in God who is madly in love with His creation….. Blog greetings..
