Can I Take BOth Gelsemium and Aconite at a time?

Can I Take Both Gelsemium and Aconite at a time?
 
  pocari on 2009-12-27
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Aconite is indicated when the symtoms appear suddenly. Gels is indicated when the symptoms develop gradually. So these two should not be taken together.

thank you for your reply. what mean by the term , appearence of symtoms suddenly and development of symptoms gradually. Actually I read about gels and aconite and my symptoms are very similar to these two medicines? what should i do now? Please help me out, I'll be thankful to you
 
pocari last decade
Suddenly means if someone goes outside in winter and catches cold due to cold winds. On the other hand if someone always suffers from cold then that is not suddenly.

As a thumb rule if your complaints are old, go for gels. If they have have developed recently go for aconite.
 
kadwa last decade
How can you resemble both dear?

Aconite is an intense remedy - fast & furious. It often comes in during the onset of symptoms (disease if you will).

Gelsemium is a chilly remedy - dull, droopy & drowsy.

The character of remedies is very different. It is very difficult for the uninitiated to differentiate between the remedies. It would be better for you to post all your symptoms and let kadwa pick a remedy dear.

And as a rule of thumb, no 2 remedies should be taken at a time.

I am 28 years old with fair complexion, my height is 5.5 feet and my weight is 68 kg.
First of all I have sleeping disorder, I often feel that I have incomplete sleep, my sleep has no specific timing, for whole day and night there is no sign of sleep and when it came, Oh! My God, continuous 12 hour or even 18 hours, it seems that I have sleeplessness as a disease.
Second problem is related to my mind, I am very coward person, it seems that freight is located in base of my mind, I feel all kind of fears (height, riding, water, air rain, noise etc) and my every day life is strongly effected by fear or freight.
Third one I am slow beginner, I need a lot of courage to start any work even for basic necessities like taking breakfast, law of inertia is fit on my condition I need a lot of force and courage to start a work and during work I am not ready to stop.
Fourthly I do not have will power or power of decision.
At last but not least, main problem is related to my body, I have severe trembling shivering in my whole body
At sitting position there is trembling in my head and in my hands, at standing position my legs also start trembling accompanied by head and hand. When I stretch my body there is trembling and shivering in every part of my body. These conditions become sever when under anxiety.

Please take three doses of Phosphorus 200c thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

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.

Interesting prescription Kadwa. Can you explain the choice?

From the given info and subject to further elicitation, I thought Opium or Carbo Veg are indicated. Have you considered those?
 
srisri last decade
The mental symptoms of the patient are marked by anxiety and fear. The prominent polychrest that are indicated here are ars, lyco and phos.
The pattern of sleeplessness and deep sleep alternating also point to phos.
Lyco follows phos well.
Such patients are best treated by breathing exercises as these exercises help in balancing mind and body over a period of time.

Sorry doctor, I did not mentioned my case history it starts in 1998, here I am going to summaries.
First I thought my trembling symptoms are due to general weakness and went to a doctor, he gave me multivit-tablets and capsules, I used that for long time but symptoms remain same.
Then I consulted a Homeopathic doctor he had given me same prescription as you advised me, I had taken these medicines for more than four months.
After that I visited Psychiatrist for better results (because I thought I am suffering from lack of confidence or I have low confidence), he gave me Tranquilizers sleeping pills, it worked but as for as I am taking the medicines I am fit if I miss one dose then I am at start point.
At the end I went to a Neuro-Physician he diagnosed my symptoms as Essential Tremor and given me prescription as taking INDERAL 20mg one tablet in the morning, half tablet LEXATONIL 3mg before going to bed and breathing exercise before sun rise.
Now I feel that I am minimizing symptoms only and not curing my disease

I need a remedy that is indicated when any one has feelings of weakness (not weak), trembling (whole body, every part of body specially head) , general debility, trembling from nervous weakness and mental dullness (being 'paralyzed by fear'). that is also useful when a person experiences anxiety about an upcoming event such as stage-fright about a public performance or interview, or anxiety before a test, impending visit to the dentist, or other stressful events. Chills, perspiration, diarrhea will often occur with nervousness. Fear of crowds, a fear of falling, and even only fear.

thank you doctor, i will follow the instructions.

another point that i have not mentioned that i am using inderal 40mg should i continue with that or stop using that medicine.
 
pocari last decade
You should taper off the allopathic medicine after starting the homeo medication. By the way if your problems have started after drug addiction, you should start your treatment with Opium 200c.

In that case

day 1
Please take three doses of Opium 200c thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours.

day 2 to day 15
please take 4 pellets of kali phos 6x thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours

and the treatment plan given above will shift forward by 15 days.

Opium 200c doesn't contain a single molecule of opium, so you needn't worry while buying.

thank you very very very much
 
pocari last decade
dr. kadwa! your attention is required, i have bought phosphorus 200 in pills form and kali phos 6x in tablet form not in pills forms, last time you told me that i should take 4 pellets of Kali Phos 6x three times in day, now how many tablets should i take?
 
pocari last decade
If 'Two Grain Tablet' is written on the container you should take 2 tablets. If nothing like that is written 4 tablets.
