I have PTSD, which is constant stress, stress, stress. You can imagine what that does to my body. But I have, recently, been able to go no meds!! When I was first diagnosed, I was on four different prescriptions. Over the years, I was able to slowly eliminate/lower the dosage one by one.

I do still take one anti-anxiety med as needed. (Which I discovered stopped my intestinal bouts of extreme pain that felt like my intestines were tight and taut like a clenched fist and wasn’t allowing food to flow through. The anti-anxiety med calms all that down within an hour or so, depending on how long I waited to take it.)

Anyway, I’d gotten my meds down to one antidepressant. I thought I would never be able to go off it. But, through a series of events, I ended up of an antidepressant for over a week before I realized and there was no difference!

The previous few months, I’d actually become unable to move. This after so much progress on my diet and being able to take my dog for a walk 3x a day and often around several blocks. I got to where I could even take him out once a day.

After I was off the antidepressant, the first thing I noticed was I had so much more energy. So I’m thinking my body just really didn’t need it anymore and the medicine was now working against me.

It took over a month for withdrawal from the antidepressant I’d been on for ages to calm down (crying over everything) but the second one I’d been put on was evidently not doing anything except make me gain weight. That’s when I was off it for a week and didn’t notice a difference.

It’s taking my body a while to get back up to speed but then, I’ve just moved between states (very stressful) and I was off my diet for only a few days (noticed the diff right away) and I’m having to recover from that.

I’d say getting off a medicine I thought just would never be possible is a major victory! I do want to stress that I’d been on some type of healing diet (Candida/GAPS/Paleo) for about 3yrs before this was possible. You *have* to give your body time to heal before you can expect the bigger victories.
