The ABC Homeopathy Forum

PLEASE Help!! Phosphoricum acidum

Please help, I read few online articles how Phosphoricum acidum can help with the weakened sexual drive and for mental relaxation, so I took it for 20 days or so, thinking homeopathic medicines are harmless. Since past 4-5 days I have been feeling extremely nervous and badly anxious, I feel I am stuck as this was a crucial time for me, from work point of view and marriage.. I am feeling very scared, Is there anything to revert the effect of this remedy, a home remedy first would be highly helpful.

Thanks so much!!!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Staphysagria, Camphor and Coffee antidote Phos Acid. You may take a single dose of Staphysagria 200 (only one day, not daily) as your symptoms point to Staphysagria.

Can you please report what potency of Phosphoricum acidum have to taken. For example, it is 30c, 200c, 1M?

Also how many time did you take it in a day.

Thanks
 
Reva V last decade
I took 30c, around 4, 3 times a day.

Thanks so much!!

This is a very deep acting remedy. Your potency seems right, but the repetition seems too strong.

Boericke documents three remedies to antidote:
Camphor, Coffea and Staphisagria

You can try to smell Camphor. This is the first try. Drink Coffee - this is the 2nd. If not you may have to take COFFEA CRUD 30c, Homeopathic Medicine to anti-dote this. The last is no less. Staph 30c is also a great antidote.

Any one you try, in Homeopatic Potency, only once or twice.

Thanks Ravi and Kadwa,

Will taking Staph adversely effect sex drive or the reason you recommend just one dose is so that it only acts as antidote and thats it.

Thanks, much appreciated.

You described your mental state as
I have been feeling extremely nervous and badly anxious, I feel I am stuck as this was a crucial time for me, from work point of view and marriage

Staphy will antidote Acid Phos and will also help you in mental symptoms. It needs no repetetion.

I ordered Staph 200c 80 pallets.

What would be exactly one dose, 4 pallets?

Thanks, best regards.
 
sam82 last decade
Yes.
 
kadwa last decade
Thanks, it should come soon, I am waiting for it, I will post how I feel after taking the dose.

Much appreciated.

Kadwa,

I have received Staph 200c today, I am not feeling as nervous and anxious anymore, still head seems to be heavy and mind hazy and feel nervous of driving and going to a height. Should I still go ahead and take it? As I have always been a nervous and anxious person.

Also if its of any significance to mention here, in 2007 I took, Gelsemium Sempervirens 12c, 80 pellets for about a month. Not Sure why I took it..
 
sam82 last decade
If you think that your symptoms due to taking phos acid are going away on their own you may postpone taking staphy 200.

A remedy taken in 2007 is not relevant now.

Please read my posts on the breathing exercises called as Anulom Vilom Pranayam and Kapalbhati Pranayam by following the links given below. Please practise these pranayams regularly for half an hour preferably in a garden early in the morning. You may practise at any other convinient time. The only restriction that you have to follow is not to do these exercises within 4 hours after meals. You can have meals not within 15 minutes after finishing these exercises.

Thanks Kadwa for the suggestion and exercises!!

After giving lots of thought to it, I decided to take staph 200c, 2 days back.. I cannot believe how better I feel, looks like bad symptoms that cropped up due to Phosphoricum acidum are fully gone, infact I feel the same I felt when I used to feel healthy and happy.. I feel more positive, energetic and implicitly taking interest in the things again. I hope this is long lasting effect. Also it has been atleast 4 months now that I am awake at 12am and still not completely tired... magical results.

Also along with this I read in an article on ayurveda for the remedy against nervousness. It is mixing honey + nutmeg in orange juice, since 2 days I am also taking that. Not sure if it is helping..

Dr Kadwa,

After few days of feeling better, I feel little anxious again today, I had sweaty palms and feet whole day today and mind seems to be little confused.

What can be done next??

Best Regards!!
 
sam82 last decade
In the long run we can be happy and peaceful only to the extent we are able to make others happy and peaceful. Now this is a very subtle concept like a person doing social work may not derive any real benefit at mental plane if he becomes egoist due to his self perception that he is doing some great noble work. Please don't take the homeo remedies unnecessarily. You should not consider taking another remedy for atleast 15 days having taking Staphysagria 200.
Please do the breathing exercises regularly.

I am doing my best for the close ones and the world, to the extend my responsibilities go and then little beyond.. Just that I feel I have many health issues, which in turn could all be tied up to the anxiety of some form, inside me due to the uncertainty of this world and certain things which my subconscious mind thinks are very important although it feels that consciously I am not paying as much attention to those things..

Even though yesterday I was little anxious but I had a very nice whole night sleep and I **did not** woke up in the middle of the night feeling something is wrong with my health.. I am really confident staph is doing the cure, just that I am not sure what to expect.. will it slowly improve or there should be a next dose after 15 days?

Thanks Kadwa, much appreciated.
 
sam82 last decade
Please don't repeat staphy every 15 days. i would suggest you to come here after detailed information after 20 days. A homeo remedy is suggested on the basis of totality of symptoms and it works as a stimulation to vital force. Cure is effected if the remedy is able to stimulate vital force.
If you are ready to provide all your details a remedy that covers all your symptoms may be worked out for you. For doing that you should copy both the questionnaires from the following thread and paste all questions here duly answered. Please note that the effectiveness of remedy selection depends on the quality of details you provide. Please note that mental symptoms are very significant for arriving at a remedy. Please don't think that they are not relevant as your problems are physical.
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/204681/
Please come with the above info only after 20 days. It is better to avoid any remedy till then.
 
kadwa last decade
Hello Kadwa,

Here is the reply to your questionare:

1.Describe your main sufferings and other related or unrelated sufferings in your own words with exact sensations, locations, modalities and probable causes.
– I recently have developed Panic attacks syndrome (..I feel after taking Phosphoricum acidum for 3-4 times a day for about a month), In this I feel myself highly nervous when I wake up in the middle of the night with cold sweat on my head and feeling nervous almost having strong sensations of something wrong happening to me or I need to be taken to ER for something life threatening. It seems to be improving a little as I m able to control it, I am also taking an allopathy medicine to control panic attacks.
– I have neck pains, on the back side where neck and skull meet, Have heaviness in the head most of the times, mainly towards the sides and sometimes I feel a funny head pain, which feels like burning under the skull which starts from the front of the forehead (where hair line starts) and goes all the way up to the center of the head. The head pains are annoying mostly feel like tingling and something under the skull with heaviness.
– I feel I have lost the sense of hunger, I hardly feel hungry in stomach till the point where I literally start panicking due to less energy in body, my body as such require more energy on a regular basis, taking energy supplements is very common and I have been taking them as part of my daily diet since some time now.
– Body pains.

2. Write an essay on yourself as a person. Describe your nature, likes and dislikes, fears and dreams, your ambition in life, your inner-most desires, your place in society etc.

– I consider myself helpful and self sacrificing when it comes down to friends and family, but lately I have seen myself becoming more self indulged more worrying about my health all time, and getting easily stressed by looking at any of my families issues. I like watching TV and basically using my laptop whole day long, even after work I would switch on my computer to check emails unnecessarily, I like chatting with my girl friend but if she says something stressful it makes me feel shaky and as if something wrong is happening to me. My biggest fear is to sleep at night and have a major health issue. If I get too much mentally tired I get a rough night – palpitations, cold sweat, panic. My dream is to be able to have a perfect health with no fears, everything normal, being married to my girl friend and no major financial burdens, My ambition is to choose a kind of profession which gives financial stability, instead of switching from projects to projects.. My inner most desire is that my responsibilities become little less and I am able to take decisions and risks to make myself happy rather then always playing safe professionally. I contribute to the society through my resources when I can, I am educated, professional and get certain amount of respect. Everything is fine, its just me inside which is scared firstly due to panics during the day and night and secondly being tied up to the responsibilities and unable to do as I wish.

3. What is your profession? Do you enjoy yourself at work? Is it a profession you have willingly chosen? If not, what would it be as per your choice?

I am an IT professional, I enjoy what I do, but I hate the management part of it, I.e being a lead or manager, If I could choose my profession again, I would do something which requires working for myself rather then anyone else, mainly for my economic stability.


4. What would you like to change in your personality, if at all?
– I would like to become more daring, less worried about my health and being able to forget my worries and move on and enjoy the moment and life, I have so many things to be happy about, but I only focus on bad things or thing that might become worse in time.

5. Please pick out the adjectives which best describe your personality;

Nervous, Anxious, Shy, Worrying, Paranoid, Proud, Asocial, Guilty, Depressed, Hypochondriac, Untidy, Weepy, Emotional, Impractical, Confused, Suspicious, Jealous, Timid, Aggressive, Headstrong, Forgetful, Follower, Insecure, Immature, Impulsive, Rigid, Restless, Feminine.

Anything else you would like to add?

– Nervous, Anxious, Worrying, Paranoid, Depressed, Emotional, Confused, Suspicious, Aggressive, Headstrong, Insecure, Impulsive, Rigid, Restless.

6. Did you have any bereavement in life? If yes, how has it affected you?

– I have been living away from the family as a single since many years now, In the beginning I did not cared/noticed but recently I am thinking how I can go back to them, without worrying them about my health.

7. Do you often suffer from depression? If so, do you prefer company or solitude during those times?

– My Depression is only due to the worry that I have some undiagnosed health issue which becomes worse when I go into deep sleep while being tired, During that time it greatly helps if I know if there is someone who is having an eye over me.

8. Do you get angry often? If not, do you feel the anger inside at least? What are the things / issues on which you get angry the most?

– I dont get too angry about anything, there was a point (when I used to feel fully healthy) when people used to say, when do you get angry or panic, I would handle any critical issues without panicking at all, I used to smile all the time. I would only get angry in a situation if someone does disrespectful to my loved ones.

9. Did you have any issues regarding your parenting by your guardians?
– No parents always loved me and took good care of me, siblings sometimes used to tease or fight trying to correct me, thinking I am very nervous and expect too much.

Please take a single dose of Arsenicum Album 200c (not daily, only once) and report back after 15 days.
 
kadwa last decade
Thanks Kadwa, much appreciated, I will order it and take it.
 
sam82 last decade
Thanks Kadwa, I have ordered Arsenicum Album 200c today, I was reading about it and was amazed to see how nicely it covers the kind of personality I have recently become (even more so).. I almost had my moment of self realization :).

I am fully confident that this will work for me.. looking forward to receiving it.

Thanks for your time and attention!!
 
sam82 last decade
Hello Kadwa,

I took one dose (4 pallets) of Arsenicum Album 200c today. What should I expect and should there be any observations I should be noting down, also, when I should respond back?

Not sure if this is worth noting, I did Kapalbati for 2 days, even though I felt good but had Hot Flashes while sleeping, I woke up in the middle of night feeling very hot with sweats on my face and head, had to turn on the fan, after sometime it normalized and I slept again, I have not done kapalbati today, I will see if Hot flashes go away.

Thanks, Happy New year.
 
sam82 last decade
Kapalbhati and Anulom Vilom are great homrmonal balancers. The former works with excellent results at physical plane and latter at mental plane. So maintain continuity in doing these exercises. Whenever you feel uneasiness at night the best thing to do is to do anulom vilom pranayam lying in the bed until you fall asleep.
You should observe any difference that you feel at mental and physical planes during these days and report at the scheduled reporting time.

*******Happy New year********
 
kadwa last decade
Thanks Kadwa, as you suggested, I am doing both KapalBhati and Anulom Vilom now. I feel better, Also I am trying to push out anxiety and panic from my mind, sofar it seems to be working. Last night I was having a sensation of swallowing a lump in my throat, pain in neck which was internally pulling down (Kinda panic symptom for me), but I warmed up some water with salt and did gargles and sensation in throat subsided, but was having headache as I have stopped panic sedative medicine which I was taking since 15-20 days. I feel using this approach, I will be fully, able to come out of it.

I think the stomach is also clearing out, no fever but eyes are burning a little, body pains have become less to none in intensity, only head ache for now.

Thanks, I will report back in 20 days.
