I have been treating depression with homeopathic medicines for about a year and a half. I started out with Nurturmur and Hecla Lava and some Ignatia. When the depression worsened after a few months, I was put on Aurum (200CK) and Aconitum (200CK) for the accompanying anxiety. However, I found the Aurum, though it lifted the depression stirred me up a great deal and I ended up in a panic. Then, when I took the Aconitum I felt calm but depressed. I am totally confused now as to what is the best remedy for depression. When I took only one of the 200CK Aurum, the panic was not as bad and the depression did lift. I took both the Aurum and Aconitum about four times a day; but lately, after I take them, I get even more depressed. I find the 30C of those medicines not as effective but the next higher dosage (the 200CK) seems too much. I often feel in a stupor after taking them and barely functional.
Has anyone found any remedy for depression and anxiety that is more consistent than those I mentioned?
Thank you for any help you can offer. I am under the care of a homeopathic doctor and though there is an improvement since I first started the medicine, the improvement seems to be that I get relief at times but the depression when it comes is as deep as ever which I don't think should be after one and a half years of treatment. I'm afraid the medicine is not the right one for me but do not know what else to try.
