The ABC Homeopathy Forum
generalized anxiety disorder
Hello,I think GAD is starting with me and I would like to ask for some suggestions.
My story started with my parents: my mother had great expectations about me and she was violent and impatient with me. She always beat me for any little thing and punished me in front of my friends. On the other hand my father was an alcoholist but he was very silent and clever and I admired him.
When I was 16 my parents separated and I started to drink alcohol and take pills,and I had insomnia. Then I comitted a non-serious suicide and I lied 2 weeks in the hospital. After that I took antidepressants for 2 years.
I went to the university but after 1,5 year I had a nervous break-down because of insomnia so I stopped learning, went home for a year and I visited a psychologist. I had anxious depression I again get pills. After half a year I recovered, left the pills and went back to university finished it and started to work.
I have to note, that I always had a big motivation to recover, to get better.
In my first workplace I had a very particular boss, who was mean and tough and kind and clever in one time. After some time I had some serious conflicts with him and also the whole place was very stressy for me. I belive that because I could not deal with this situation I become sick. I delivered hemorrhoids because I always had a strain in my bottom, my shoulders, my eyes etc. Varicose veins started on my legs and my body is full of with small red spots, like capillary eruptions. My hair fell out on the top of my head. But the worst is that now I slightly fear of everything. To talk with people, to travel, to walk on ice or other slippery surfaces. I liked to go on excursions but when I have to come down from the hill I start to panic that I will fall and I am quite pathetic, sometimes I have to sit down. Also I sometimes shouting and crying when we are on a hill, ecause I think that I won't be able to come down. I couldn't enjoy it just able to think about that we will survive it and go home.
I had a panic attack in a monument on a stair which was very narrow and dark. I thought that I will die, my mouth was full of with my tongue, my legs were shaking. Because of this now I fear of cellars and dark narrow places,I feel that I will drown.
I would like to get back myself, enjoy again travelling, new situations, excursions, I don't want that fear rule my life. It would be good to be able to relax and not feel tension from some part of my body.
Could somebody advice me a remedy?
Thank you and sorry for my english!

Hi
Really sorry to hear of your condition. Your current situation is an outcome of many situations and you will have to be a little patient during the course of treatment.
To start with, you need to procure a homeopathic remedy called Stramonium 200c in ethanol solution. Procure a 30ml sealed bottle.
Let me know once you have take the solution. I will then let you know on how to take the remedy.
Best wishes,
Niel

Dear Niel Madhavan,
Thank you for your encouraging words! I will try Stramonium, but in my country it is not allowed to buy remedies without prescription higher than 30ch. They sell pellets. Should I take them daily?

In such a case, buy 30c in pellets.
Put 2 pellets in some 100 ml of water. Allow it to dissolve for about 10 minutes. Shake it 10-15 times. One teaspoon from the solution is one dose. Take three such doses separated by 20 minutes each on a single day ONLY. No repetition after the first day.
Let me know of your condition after 7 days from taking the remedy.

Niel

Thank you, I will try it. One more question. Here one dose contains 5 pellets. Despite of this should I dissolve 2 pellets for that procedure?
I am much obliged for your help!

Dear Niel,
I took the Stramonium 30CH following your instructions. My experiences: on the first day, 24 after I took it i felt myself quite strange. I felt dizzy and like I am shaking inside. I was afraid that I will collapse and hurt myself. After that I slept quite well. I am now able to walk on ice normally, not afraid of falling. Also the strain from the anus disappeared. Beside this I don't feel more improvement. Today and yesterday I had some angry outbursts, I was a bit hissy. I feel my veins also. Should I follow with the stramonium?
Also I read that Nux vomica is an antidote for Stramonium. In the last few month I sometimes took Nux to sleep more well. Could this attenuate my reactions to stramonium?
Many thanks!
Rita

Hi
Please repeat Stramonium 30c in just the same manner as last time. Three doses separated by 20 minutes each on a SINGLE day only.
Nux vom taken earlier would not effect. Don't worry about that. Do let me know of your condition 7 days after taking the remedy.

Niel

Dear Niel,
7 days after the second Stramonium I report.
I am definitely more calm. What is the most apparent that I manage situations less emotionally and this save me a lot of energy. And even when something makes me angry I calm down very quickly without any bad feelings. This I like the most, it is completely new to me!
But my veins have never been worst. The next day after the remedy my legs became extremely cold. This coldness reached the half of my shin. My veins were blue also on my hands and I felt that I have no circulation. In my leg I felt every vein separately burning in the shin and on my ankle. It was so bad that I used a Hippocastanum gel.
Two days I cought cold and I took some paracetamol. I hope these won't influence the treatment.
So now my legs still cold (they've always been) and especially on my left leg visible blue veins remained. The burning is still persist but not that severe, unfortunately this could be because of the paracetamol.
Shall I repeat the Stramonium? Will my veins recover? Will this balanced state of my mind be permanent?
Very many thanks!

Hi Sambucus
These are great signs indeed. For now, let us do without Stramonium for a week. For your legs, you can order Calcarea fluor 6x, a biochemic salt. Please take three pills with warm water 4 times a day for a week.
Let me know of your situation in 10 days.

Dear Nataly,
It is not good to hear that your're not well. What I observe, it really strange for me. Most of my troubled friends develop more obvious syptoms in consequence of anxiety, for example digestive disorders, stomach problems, gall bladder or pancreas problems. I never thought that circulation could be impaired if you don't have high blood pressure. I hope, you will recover soon.
The bests for you!

Dear Niel,
My state now:
some days after your last post I had ticks on my face for two days, also some angry outbursts. I sometime lose my temper and feel again anxious about to talk.
These are not that severe as before, but again I can't sleep well: I fall asleep after a long time and I am tired and unfocused in the evenings. I am facing a great exam in one month and unfortunately I can't learn efficiently enough.
I am still taking the Calcarea fluorica, but no improvement, my veins burning, I can feel them even in the depth of my leg and blue veins appeared on my thig also.
What should I do next?
All the bests!

Stramonium seems like a good prescription.
Niel would you consider adding succussion to the dosing to increase the potency slightly?

Thanks for the suggestion, David. Much appreciated.
Dear Sambucus,
Please add 2 pills / drops of the remedy in some 100 ml of mineral water. Allow to dissolve for sometime. Add a teaspoon of alcohol to it to preserve the solution. You may use Vodka or White rum. This prepares your stock bottle.
WHAT CONSTITUTES A DOSE? Put one teaspoon from the solution put in a glass of water. One teaspoon from the glass is one dose. Before each dose, give the stock solution 10 succussions. Succussion implies hard strokes given to the solution on an elastic solution from a distance of about 2 feet.
Take a single dose like this and observe your condition very very carefully. Like previously, the first level of improvement will be seen on the mental plane. Once you find the state reverting a bit, you will need to take another dose - again with 10 succussions. You will need to decide on the time of repetition after careful observation.
Stop after three such doses and let us know of the results. In the meanwhile, stop CALC FLUOR.
Do let me know if there are any confusions.
Regards,
Niel

Dear Niel,
please tell me, if I understood well:
I make the stock solution, with alcohol - where should I keep it? In room temperature with soe cover to protect from sunlight?
I take one teaspoon from the stock solution and put it - into how much water?
After I made the succusion, should I drink the whole amount, with some incubation in my mouth or only one spoon from the dose?

Keep it in room temperature protected from sunlight. The stock solution should be made in a 200 ml bottle as the succussions would need to be given to the stock bottle.
One teaspoon from the stock bottle needs to put in half a glass of water. Take a teaspoon from the glass as one dose. Throw away the rest.

Dear Niel,
I have just taken the third dose, because in the last two days I lost my balance again.
The first dose was on 26th of January, the second around 4th February and now the third.
My observations: it seems to me, that every time I take another dose I catch cold and each time it becomes stronger and takes more time to recover. My mood used to be very confused for some days after one dose and later gets normal, than instability comes back first with strain in the anus and with causeless outbursts. In the meantime I feel quite average, relaxed and- I would say indifferent. Like I am alienated - which does not bother me until the strain and instability comes back. Than I feel like I am awake and realize that I haven't pay attention to others sufferings and feelings and I ignored them. This is not a fictious thought, I know that I just didn't care about. I don't like this state because my boyfriend goes through hard ties and I lose contact with him. This is true for intimate life also: I get back my feelings and desires only when the bad feelings come back.
Other things: my digestion is very good now, I also lost some weight and my appetite and thirst is also less. I eat a lot of sweet things. My back is getting straight again, I don't feel that compression what took me a bit round-backed in the last years. I am still afraid of meeting stangers, such as the hair-dresser.
The burning from my veins disappeared.
What should I do now? Probably I can manage to order higher potency Stramonium from abroad if it is necessary.
Also I would like to take Silicea (schussler or other low potency) to strenghen my connective tissue before pregnancy, should I?
Thank you and the bests!

One more thing: Silicea only exists in D6 and D12 in biochemical salts. Should I substitute it with pellet 3D or 3CH or use D6?

Dear Niel,
In the meantime I would like to ask, if I can take some dose of Ignatia before my exam. I am very nervous I am not sure whether I can deal with this. My hands are sweating, strong heartbeats (I have originally sinus arrhythmia and bradycardia) and I always sighing.
