Managing Anxiety and Depression Without Medication

Have you discussed your concerns with your prescriber? I recently advocated that I cannot do SSRIs anymore, the side effects were awful and I was exhausted. I also want to have a healthy sex life! So I researched and asked for Wellbutrin, which I did well with. But also wanted ultimately to be off of meds. I am now focusing on more natural or holistic ways of treating my mental health with the help of my psychiatrist and therapist. Im a huge believer in therapy and self advocacy. It was very hard for me to say, hey doctor I can't orgasm and I'm miserable. Lol, but it's worth it. Good luck to you and know it's totally valid to want to treat your symptoms in a way that is best for you. Medication is just one tool in the toolbox.

The meds did all the same stuff to me so I had to stop. Also, be careful with bc. Even a low dose causes estrogen dominance in women which can lead to a whole host of problems, including anxiety and depression. Look into brain retraining/neuroplasticity. I found I liked the Gupta Program the best.
