PLEASE help!! Strange rxn to Phosph!
A homeopath recently prescribed Phosphorus 7 as follows:Day 1: 5 pellets 3 times a day
Day 2-4: 4 pellets dissolved in 100 ml of water, 1 tspn 2x a day for 3 days.
My symptoms are: anxiety/fear about health, rapid resting heart rate, acid reflux, burping, slow metabolism, head pulsations (this appeared after taking Sulphur 3 wks ago), muscle twitches/ spasms, arthritic pain.
I am having bad reactions to this and am not sure if I should continue or stop. The doctor said to finish the treatment, but is this normal?
Day 1 reaction - Felt good after dose 1 and 2. Burping & Gerd decreased, anxiety reduced, symptoms were light.
Third dose at night was horrible: my hands and feet felt bloated, as if they were on fire, jerks in legs and fingers started, insomnia, thirst, extreme jitters, feel clumsy, extreme anxiety / fear, restelss leg - shaking more.
Day 2: First diluted dose improved the bloating hands and feet. Other symptoms stayed. Dose 2 at night was awful - resting heart pressure past 100 bpm most of the night, insomnia, jitters, all over shaking, very thirsty, muscle burning like I worked out too hard, anxiety / fear was unbearable, headache in left temple. I drank chamomile tea which helped a little for sleep.
It is day 3 and I don't know if I should continue. The homeopath says to keep going but I am afraid I am just getting much worse. I am tired, clumsy, hazed and have all sorts of side effects. Is this normal? Should I stop taking it? Will the new symptoms go away if I stop taking Phosphorus?
Please help me!!!! I don't know how to proceed.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
It is also important to note that some of the symptoms I have (jitters, muscle spasms, joint pain, cold hand and feet), headaches, etc came after using Arsenicum 7 and 30 with HCC(?) last year in Sept for about one mth. They went down after a couple of months but never really went away completely.
This year, we have tried different types of remedies to improve the symptpoms as well as the reflux (Sulphur, Psorinum, Nux Vomica) but I could not support them for more than 1 day - my symptoms would get much worse immediately after the does. My anxiety is what causes me the most grief. I hjave health phobias. Please help me! My doc says to keep taking Phos despite the reaction.

You feel that your symptoms are strange, and you are asking how to proceed. It is not appropriate for a professional to interfere with someone else's prescription on a forum. If you do not feel that the prescription is right get a second opinion. But firstly find out what kind of homeopathic education the homeopath has and do your research about their clinical experience. The information you give in your post about the remedies is not complete and, I believe, not accurate. You are playing with fire to proceed in this way.
Your symptoms are obviously acute, and very troubling to you so I would advise you to act quickly. Good luck.
