Trying again

Last Oct (06) I went to my md/homeopath. She spent an entire hour interviewing me. My symptoms were depression, low self esteem, no sex drive. I suffered depression for ten years after a stroke and anuerism at age 37. (I am now 58). I thought I had it beat but it returned this year. She gave me natrum mur. I felt incredible after the first dose. Not immediately better, just different. Hard to explain. She told me that coffee was an antidote and I should give it a few months before I had it again. Well, I didn't. I drank coffee a couple of weeks later, and bingo...back into the dumps. I returned to her and she gave me another dose and said that it was good that I antidoted because it showed that it wasn't a placebo. So then, it worked for about a month and I started going downhill again. I returned and SWORE that I had not had any coffee (which I hadn't) but I asked her about moth balls and she said, yes, definitely and I had just put mothballs in my closet. so she gave me another dose. Said that it could have diminishing effects if I took it too often. It worked but not as dramatically as the two previous doses.

So then after a terrific Christmas I got sick. Cold, flu, whatever it was. Lost my sense of taste and smell for over a week. I was sick of being sick and (she was out of town for the month) so ended up drinking more coffee. Now feel lousy and am embarrassed to call her AGAIN.

She told me that if I take it too often it loses it's affect. Also, I know when I buy homeopathic remedies over the counter, you are to take, for instance, three doses/day. She told me that in a perfect world I would never have to take it again. However, she conceded this was NOT a perfect world. Apparently there are two types of homeopathic remedies?

Anyway, would like some input on my predicament. Thanks.
