The Many Dangers To Do With Antidepressant Medicine

By Jack Nuttall


Are you or someone else that you know depressed and/or suffer from tension? Well you are not the only one, many individuals possess the same issue. Odds are you have seen your physician or medical care professional and they've given you medicine- a mind altering substance that merely treats the symptoms without sorting out all the inherent inbalances that caused your problems in the first place and then there are the negative effects that follow! This is in my opinion the difficulty with mainstream allopathic treatments and it is stemmed from the view that profits are more important than helping individuals.

Lets go through the risks involved with taking anti depressant medication and what you need to know before taking them.

They're really addictive;

SSRI's are one type of antidepressant medication that are very addictive and there is lots of side effects not only with taking them in the first place but when you discontinue using them as well. This is necessary to understand before you commence them as you don't need to be addicted to prescription drugs.

They have nasty side effects;

Often you will find the side effects are much worse then the original condition that you are trying to treat, here is only a few, flu like symptoms, reduced libido and difficulty in having an orgasm,nausea,trouble getting to sleep, drowsiness and flu like symptoms, these are merely a few. Them there are even some extreme reactions; loss of coordination, agitation, hallucinations, fainting, headache,chest pain,severe dizziness,shallow respiration,muscle cramps, slurred speech, severe weakness, feeling unsteady, seizure (convulsions).

They are pricey;

Obviously in case you are addicted to them you should take them constantly so it is an on-going cost. When a new drug is manufactured it has a patent placed on it so just the one business can produce that particular drug for quite a few years so they have a monoploy on it.

You can't take them when lactating or pregnant;

You would not need your unborn child to be addicted to these nasty drugs and it could even be passed on through your milk when breast feeding.

Unfortunately most persons who take these drugs don't realise that there are herbal and less evasive ways of getting treatment for your depression with little to no negative effects. Mainstream doctors are educated at medical schools that are financed by the pharmaceutical company's. There is even rumours that physicians receive commission for selling a particular company's drug.

Some people can overcome their depression simply by leading a healthier life style. Regular exercise has been proven to release more natural endorphins (substances that make you feel good) to the brain improving your state of mind. A deficiency in B vitamins and omega 3 has been demonstrated to have a direct link to depression and anxiety so taking a high quality nutritional supplement or just simply adding more vegetables to your diet could be a better alternative then a lifetime of drugs.

Mercury is a dangerous neuro toxin and carcinogen, it's found in tinned tuna and believe it or not some dentists use it in fillings in your teeth. How will you know you have mercury poisoning? The symptoms involve depression and persistent tiredness. If you have mercury based fillings you ought to visit your dentist in order to get them removed and get an alternative in place. Then you'll need to complete a mercury detox, your naturopath can assist you with this. So it is not just about including more healthy things in your lifestyle it's also about taking out the undesireable things. Many food additives ie. Preservatives, artificial flavours etc, unbalance the chemicals in your brain and cause disharmony so that it would surely be a safe bet to say they are not helping anyone at all.

Every ones body is different and will react to different things, some people are sadly born with a genetic predisposition to depression and related symptoms but that will not mean that you should simply give up and accept the drugs your doctor has prescribed you. In case you are suffering form depression or anxiety or both you should do some research on how best to beat it naturally or merely do a little research in the unique drug you have been prescribed. There are various excellent books as well as good sites where you may find advice and take responsibility for your own wellbeing and take back your control over your life...
