    i tried homeopathy during early withdrawal, but too short time and see no effects, in worse or better, but at that time i was totally disrupted, nothing was functioning; and have doubt about that

    And rightly so. Trying it out is a good idea. Please, keep us updated on that one.

    I tried several things and was under treatment of a homeopathic doctor in the first, horrific year of WD (2008). He gave me Back blossom, several supplements and other homeopathic drops.
    I never experienced any effects from it, though it is impossible to say how I would have been without it. But looking at my extreme long , tedious and painful road, I can safely say that homeopath did not do a thing for me, only costed my pretty much money.
    Maybe homeopathy has its value but IMHO not in curing WD syndrome.
    Recovering from the ravages of withdrawal after 5 years on Paxil/Seroxat, originally prescribed for stress and, looking backward, PTSS.
    Though it is hardly possible to get something positive from the utter hell of repeated c/t's and protracted w/d, all of this unnecessary, I still believe in the possiblity to emerge from this as a healed, wiser human being.

    normal homeopathy is treating you as a whole, or it is not homeopathy, the withdrawal being most big part in it

    squirrel - did you see this thread?

    http://antidepressantwithdrawal.info...fective&p=6458

    I'm taking some homeopathy for my sinus, which has been a very severe w/d symptom for me, preventing sleep at times. I picked some remedies out for myself, which is not nearly as good as consulting an expert. And I *think* they've helped, but I'm not sure.

    I know Dédé is also using some homeopathy.

    Françoise -- that's interesting that you thought it was helpful before w/d, but not after.

    squirrel -- do, please report back to us on your experience.

    "An initiation into shamanic healing means a devaluation of all values, an overturning of the profane world, a peeling away of inveterate handed-down notions of the world, liberation from everything preconceived. For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."
