Coming off anti depressants
In the autumn of last year I had problems with my joints causing me to ache all over.  This in turn made me anxious as I had a lot things I needed to do and needed to be well to do them.  My doctor recommended a course of Ciprolex which he explained to help the anxiety which, in turn, would help the pain.  I felt better almost immediately after taking them but I noticed earlier this year that the pain seemed to be creeping back.  I also suffered from night sweats which made a good night's sleep almost impossible.  Then I began to bruise even when I didn't remember hurting myself so I felt it was time to take myself off.  I cut them down to one every other day, then half every other day and now I am off them completely.  I feel very short of energy and I suppose, if I'm honest, I feel quite anxious again.  My head aches and I'm generally down.

I have a very strong faith and in fact work in the Ministry of Divine Healing.  I have experienced healing several times in my life but right now I just feel I can't get myself out of this.  I really would love to hear of anyone else who has had similar problems.  It's not helped by the fact that there is a virus going round in this country which is causing serious headaches, lethargy and lack of appetite so it is hard to know if it could be this.  I'm normally very upbeat and positive but this is horrible.  When I get back to feeling like me again I promise I will write a lot more cheerful blog.  God Bless.

Best of luck to you!

Oh...I hate headaches. I have suffered from headaches all my life. I have had migraines, sinus headaches, and tension headaches. Finally I went to a Headache Doctor this past summer, he ran a series of test...(a ton of them) and told me ALL OF MY headaches were migraines. He had this scale...and showed me that each headache I had during the past 2 months...(I had to keep a headache chart, indicating what type of headach I was having on a scale of 1-5)was actually a migraine of different degrees. He said I live in a "migraine zone" meaning according to the test, I have high anxiety, so my headache where higher on the scale, which topped the chart easier. So whenever I had a headache it topped over the migraine zone. Does any of this make sense yet? Anyway...he put me on Topamax, a medication to prevent migraines and said when I go off it I would have to be weened off it. I asked him what this all had to do with my anxiety level. He said...People that have high anxiety have a higher level of a certain horemone going through their brain, which without treatment will cause severe migraines. Boy was he right, because I've been taking Topamax since last summer and the only headaches I get now are during that time of the month. It's a miracle. I lived walking around holding my head for years. It was horrible. I was soo worn out from them. Now I have energy and feel great. Pull that medicine up on your computer, read about it. See if it sounds like something that could be of help to you.
Good Luck, and God Bless!!!!
I'll keep you in my prayers!

Greetings Overthehillandfaraway:

Truly sorry to hear that you are experiencing these very painful headaches. I have had headaches in my life time, but none that I have not been able to overcome, also I have never been on any type of medication perscribed by a doctor. I use to just take an excedrin and that was it. As a matter of fact I have never been serious ill or visited a doctor except for a two year annual physical that I am required to take. I thank my God for my health every day.

Since you have been in the Healing Ministry you know that the possibalities for self healing is real. It is not always easy but it can be done since God has already provided the medication from birth that is needed to heal our bodies.

Holistic healing is a three stage process. Body, Mind and Soul. Sometimes we work on the physical side and neglect the other two sides which prolongs the physical illiness of the body. Germs and other virus are real and sometimes we need a little extra help from the Doctors to help us understand the physical side of our illiness and give it an extra kick to get us going.

However, the most important thing is to seek God, stay prayed up and be obedient to His will.

Finally, my sister has MS and has had it for the past 25 years. Six months ago the doctors gave up on her and told us that there was nothing else that could be done for her. Her physical body had deteroated to such a condition that she has no control over any part of it. We came together as a family and said no we would not give up on her. We agreed that for 30 days we would pray and fast together and ask others to join us at six o'clock daily. Now six months later my sister is recovering, not so much her physical body but her spiritual soul, her mind and her over all conditions has changed to such a degree that the doctors call it nothing but a miracle.

I don't want to down play your condition, but I say stay focus on what you know in your heart will work to change your condition.

Please know that I am going to be praying daily for your speedy recovery. May God bless you and keep you close by. Read Jeremiah 33:3

Much love,

Davis

How wonderful you all are! I am so touched by your prayers and delighted to tell you that it is working. I feel so much better since I got back from Donegal and my husband just remarked how different I seem today. Prayer is such a wonderful gift and it's silly that so many of us don't think to ask for it. I just want you all to know that I am here to pray for any of you as I know what your prayer did for me. God bless you all. Elaine x
