I have had panic attacks and anxiety for eight months. I refuse to go on meds. I have tried several different approaches. One of which has been homeopathy. Because of derealism I was put on canchulagua. This helped out a little and I was able to deal for the most part though I would have bad days. My doctor from North Coast Family Health (Naturalpathy) decided to switch my remedy to Arsenic Album. I took a half cap of 200C which made me feel very strange and lathargic (a good strange but on the verge of anxiety) for a couple days... then WHAM! Worst day since the begining of my anxiety. It was like reliving the worst days of my anxiety. The doctor told me to take a 1/4 cap of the 200C again that night. I did as I was told and woke up shaking and anxious in the middle of the night. This morning I felt like I was in pain and did not want to get out of my bed and did not until around 11:00. I have still felt on edge to say the least...

MY QUESTION IS:

Is it true with homeopathy that you can get worse then better like SSRI's to a certain extent? Is this normal that I am reliving the worst parts of the anxity and am undergoing a cleansing of sorts? Is this the right remedy?

Thanks and I am glad I found this forum. I truely believe in the power of homeopathy. I never did until it took away my horrible palpitations that I was having that 3 alblations could not cure.
