yes. That was me to an extent. I did well on kali-phos and then I moved to carc per djkempson. That worked well for a while and it wore off too (even after upping the doses). I figured that I needed to find out what was the root of the problem before I can get rid of it. I wanted to make sure that it didn't have to do with a troubled past and that is where the psychologist came in. I have been taking slow steps because I want to be sure that everything I do will have some sort of result, even if it is negative. I keep trying the different homeopathics and they wear off in a week or two. Uping the dose doesn't help at all. That is why they did some blood tests to confirm that it is a physical thing and not a "mental block". I guess the results were conclusive enough to know that it was an imbalance in the serotonin levels and that is why they put me on Paxil. I figured I would try it but soon learned that I can't get away from my sensativities to pharmaceudical remedies. What a mess, huh? I can say that for the few days that I was on it I had enough of a positive response, in that I was partially attack free and depressed free, and that made me keep looking in the "imbalance" direction. With the difference it made in the headaches, muscle spasms, mood swings, crying, nausea, "boogie man syndrome", uncontrollable outbursts of anger, etc...(as you can see it happened in a short period of time)I am convinced that this is the path. Maybe not pharmaceudically but none the less. I know I skipped around a bit, but you understand the jist of it.
