I'm On Antidepressants. 

Good to know. Thanks for sharing!

Hoping you find a way to feel calm! It's so hard. I kept telling myself that I could talk myself out of it, or I just needed to be stronger.... But I needed extra help. Meds aren't the answer for everyone, but it's made a huge difference for me. Its a weird feeling to feel calm for me haha!

I've had my bloodwork checked many times recently. :) I am so glad you've found help without antidepressants!! Right now I plan to keep using these because they are working well for me. I have tried for years to "talk myself out" of being depressed or anxious. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. Medication is what I feel is right about for now. I'll let you know if anything changes. Thanks for sharing this info though! It's helpful to hear everyone's opinions.

I tried CBD a few years ago and it made me feel really sick and so sleepy all day long. I didn't love it but maybe it's something to try again in the future. I am so glad you found something that works for you!! :)

Even watching it now look at deep left sided smile line! I had that but in my smile lines in my brow!

Thanks for sharing! I was born with this feature.

Yeah, this information would definitely be helpful, since there's a wide variety of antidepressant types. If she mentioned what she was on, she would be sharing her experience on it, rather than recommending one.

@@Dulcimerist that’s agreed because they all are different. You have your SSRIs, your SSRI, your MAO‘s the Wellbutrin by itself and its own class but she also stated she was on something for sleep so that makes me wonder if they’ve also put her on an antipsychotic I have already tried all the second generation antipsychotics, they only made me want to kill myself even more gave me acathisia and tardive dyskinesia you sure as fuck don’t want those, and that can come from antidepressants as well. That’s why I’m wondering, but she had a good experience with because some of us have tried things and have gotten severe negative symptoms that have remained long-term after trying them. So I’m wondering if she’s on an antipsychotic and she’s saying that it’s a presses her appetite so I would assume that might be the Wellbutrin or one that’s in that class

@@Filthycoffin Antipsychotics for sleep are horrible! Thanks for mentioning that. The manufacturers of Seroquel were fined half a billion (with a B!) dollars for marketing this antipsychotic for sleep, when it was dangerous and not approved for that purpose. They're also facing multitudes of product liability lawsuits for the damage that Seroquel caused. Seroquel and Wellbutrin combined would be a disaster, since Seroquel blocks dopamine receptors and Wellbutrin increases dopamine.

I just don't want to promote a medication before I have a good amount of time to try it out. I had only been on the meds for a few weeks when I posted this video. After a year or so, if I still like it I'll likely share more about the medication. I need a little more information first.

My doctor mentioned the possibility of bi polar but with more talking she leaned more towards general anxiety and depression. This is good to know though. Thanks

She’s on carnivore

Yes I've done antibiotics for SIBO, but they didn't work for me.

I have that same muscle aches I would love to try the LDN. I live in Ohio and don't know any doctors that prescribe it.

​@@jamieb5679ime on it but not helping muscle aches but it b's and fatigue it does and allergies

@@jamieb5679 Sorry I keep trying to reply but it won’t come up for some reason.🙄 I wrote my comment on Aimee’s last community post hopefully you can see it.

They gave me the most popular medication for sleep for pediatric patients, even though I'm an adult. It's Guanfacine, and it works wonderfully without the side effects of typical sleep medications. Guanfacine also treats my POTS and is a nonstimulant ADHD medication, so it's also helping me with other issues with this single medication.

It's so hard to know what to take when you've had negative experiences! I hope you find what works for you!

Prozac took away my appetite when I was in my 20s and I was already very thin. Made me a bit aggressive too. . Got off it and Zoloft was wonderful for a long time. . Now trintellix and buspirone. Works for me. Blessings

Wellbutrin is one that typically doesn't cause weight gain, and can even help with a bit of weight loss. That's the only antidepressant I can tolerate.

Interesting! I have heard some people say they gain weight on antidepressants. It's annoying that everyones bodies are different. I wish we all reacted the same so we could all know what to expect!

@@Dulcimerist Wellbutrin didn’t put weight on me but it did not take any pounds off either.

For anxiety and panic attacks, if you don't like the risks involved with benzos, you could ask your doctor about Guanfacine or Clonidine. They specifically calm the body's "fight or flight" response, which is a direct counter to anxiety and panic attacks. My teenage daughter was a mess with anxiety and panic attacks, but Guanfacine was a miracle for her. She was even able to stop the medication two or three years later, and her anxiety and panic attacks are still gone.

I am so sorry you felt pushed into an anxiety diagnosis! Sometimes doctors assume that physical symptoms are "just depression" or "just anxiety". I seem to have both. But it's not fair to lump people into that category when that's not their story!

Those are both in the same drug class (SSRI). Have you tried one in a different drug class, like Wellbutrin? Often when someone doesn't respond to serotonin based antidepressants, they need one that is dopamine based.

Email me and I'll share. I just don't want to publicly promote a medication when it's not my expertise, and I've only been on it for a short time. I'll likely share if it continues to work for a few years.

Good to know! Thank you for sharing. I still don't have a big appetite and I recorded this video a few weeks ago, but hopefully over time it continues to improve!

​​@@Aimee_EstherI will say though you may have no appetite now but get your bloods done regularly.. blood sugar ! And if you get an appetite you will get a massive one and eat X4 what you usually eat . Can cause weight gain and I've seen you've a diagnosis of EDS now .

I have Jesus and antidepressants. And I am thankful for both.

@@janetkeane9781why would you need anti depressants if you truly have the peace Jesus gives, and the joy of the Lord? 🤔

​​@@purebride8600Because our brain is part of the body. God guided me to meds and therapy. You shouldn't knock it if you haven't needed treatment. God could show you what it's like. I'm 50 and have always followed God. If you had diabetes you'd take meds or if you had a headache you'd take a Tylenol. So tread carefully. PS Luke the apostle was a physician

​@@janetkeane9781you are smart. God gives us help in the earthly realm. He created the doctors and medication. Luke the apostle was a physician. Blessings 💞

@@lovelocked5385 you’re deceived. Jesus is all you need. Faith heals completely, only believe 🕊
