Re: Anti-Depression meds interfering with creativity

[jaybie_jarrett]

Hmm yeah that seems like an issue. Hmm maybe there's anti-depressants that might work differently and be better for you?

I don't know much about medicine except that different ones act differently to different people.

Sorry I'm not much help.

Re: Anti-Depression meds interfering with creativity

My body reacts strongly to most medications - aspirin can knock me out, for example. My BFF was on the same meds I am now on when she lived with me over ten years ago, and she went from being hyperactive to sleeping all the time. I had to cut my 20mg pills down to quarters to be able to take them (my doc told me to cut them in half, but that was still too much for me), otherwise, I'd be sleeping all day and night.

I would like to find out if St. Johns Wort would help, but I need to find out if it'd interact with the meds I really have to take (I have an inner ear condition, if I don't take certain meds, I'll flounder around like a drunk). If it doesn't, then I might try that as a substitute. I'd like to talk to my doctor about it, though, before I go gung ho into that.

Wow. That sounds bad.

(I once had an anxiety medication that RAMPED UP my OCD and gave me horrible violent and self destructive thoughts. It was a whole week of hell and I was so relieved when my parents figured it was the new meds and stopped giving them to me. I was so bad that my brother didn't want to leave me in our house.)

Yeah that sounds like a good thing to try. I hope that works out and you can find a solution without losing your creativity. Good luck <3

Re: Anti-Depression meds interfering with creativity

That's pretty frightening. I'm glad your parents figured it out.

I am feeling better, but I know what would take care of my depression issues - unfortunately, finding a decent full-time job with benefits in this city is pretty much unlikely, at this point (ten years here and I've yet to get a job with decent benefits and/or vacation time).

Re: Anti-Depression meds interfering with creativity

[jaybie_jarrett]

Yeah.

Ahhh. I had (and sometimes have if I lose my current job) that issue. It's really frustrating and scary. I hope and pray you get one <3

Re: Anti-Depression meds interfering with creativity

[hands4healing]

It is very frustrating. I couldn't even get a job at one company with a recommendation from the board of directors.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

I'm so sorry that would piss me off.

Glad to help.

I've taken St. John's Wort and a lot of other herbal remedies. I'm not sure how much you've looked into this at all, but here is my experience. Herbs, like with all meds, react in different ways with different people. And they do come in different potencies depending on where you get them. The other thing is unless you're going to say a chiropractor, most MDs are highly against herbs, at least in the USA. Chemically by the Serotonin levels in the brain feed both creativity and happiness.

St. John's Wort, Vitamin B, and Jasmine Absolut Oil all help lift depression. There are a lot of different TYPES of Vitamin B and I found that route is really risky because if you have too much Vitamin B it can give you a headache and if you don't have enough, it can also give you a headache. Jasmine Absolut smells like peaches actually and you'd place the oil over your heart. And if you want to try St. John's Wort, I'd try to find someone who sells the herb in your area and knows about the proper dosages. Look for a Nature Sunshine Product's dealer. A lot of times either the dosage instructions on the bottles are too low or scarily enough, too high. St. John's Wort does work. Also, try Vitamin D. It's scary how much Vitamin D does in your body and most people do not get enough of it.

If you are sensitive to meds, then I'd try Jasmine first and see if that helps at all. Because St. John's Wort comes in a powder inside vitamin gel capsules (last I knew) and they don't divide.

Re: Anti-Depression meds interfering with creativity

That is all excellent information, and thank you.

My doc is pretty cool with alternate medications/medicines, but we didn't discuss herbs last time I saw her.

I'm thinking the Jasmine Oil could be located at a few of the natural food shops locally, but I'll have to check.
