nux vomita or arsenicum albunm

Six month ago after a stressful /passionate relationship breakup I got some panic attacks at nights. After that I don’t sleep very well. Now everything is fine I feel good but I don’t sleep well anymore. I just wake up every 3 hours at night after 3-4am.
I’m 38 slim male, good professional life, good personal relationships. I used to practice yoga and meditation. Sedentary life-style.
I practiced homeopathy before for digestion problems (Lycopodium clavatum).
No other physical problems.
Thanks

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
When you say 'practiced' homoeopathy, did you mean to say you took homoeopathic medicines? Practicing homoeopathy usually means you are a homoeopath prescribing medicines for others.

Why have you titled your post 'nux-v or arsenicum' if you used lycopodium previously?

For a prescription to be made with any success, you will need to give much more information - what you have given so far is not enough.

Please follow these links to see what kind of information a homoeopath needs to prescribe for you.

Thank you for the answer.
Sorry if I didn't explained me very well but English is not my native language.
A homeopathic specialist said that lycopodium was my best match.
I was using lycopodium for billiar vesicle problems but at the end it was fixed with a surgery. After that my digestion are much better. It was 10 years ago.
I saw that specialist 5 month ago and she recommended using 10 drops Lyc 200CH before sleep. After two weeks the sleeps problems and worries remain.
In this website I was reading that nux and arsenicum are good for imsomnia.
The only problem I have now is the insomnia. I can’t sleep so deep, I wake up every 2 or 3 hours with some anxiety and fear. During the day I feel good but worry about that.
I’m a very responsible person, worry about the details. I don’t want to take regular medications for sleep. I believe in the homeopathy, acupuncture and the other holistic medicine methods.
I don’t think that “Lyc character” describe me so well now.
Please let me know if you need more details I don’t know what else can be useful.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,

A friend recommended me to start taking Nux Vomita 15ch 4 balls at nights for the sleeping problem. After 4 days I start waking up after 5 or 6pm. I feel better in the mornings and less worry during the day. But I would like to sleep a little bit more.

For how long time I should take this.

Thanks for your help.

Nux V 15 CH (every night) works but just for one or two nights and after that some discomfort appeared on my back.
Using the “Remedy Finder” it recommend “Sulfur” but I have no idea what potency and frequency. I would like to hear some recommendation from a specialist. I just included all the information requested on the form.
Thanks for all the information that you share in this website.

this is the grid from the Remedy Finder:



thanks,

It is actually quite interesting to see that grid. Reperorization is quite a difficult art to master, and you can see how easy it is for those untrained in homoeopathy to make mistakes with it.

One of the most common mistakes for students of homoeopathy you see is the 'overloading' of certain symptoms. This means that the same symptom has been used several times in different rubrics. For example Preoccupied + Preoccupied making plans evening ; Mind theorizing + Mind theorizing evening ; Mind restlessness + Mind restlessness at night + Mind restlessness 3am/4am; Head, pain + Head, pain, night + Head, pain, back of the head, evening etc.

Another mistake is to use general common symptoms that have no differentiation at all eg. Headache.

There are other mistakes here too - using rubrics that are too specific for example eg. head pain back of head 3am. You only need use the quality of the pain as one rubric, then the time aggravation as another. Because the general public doesn't understand provings or how the information is collected, they wouldn't understand that one prover might show part of your symptom, while a second prover shows the other part. You as the patient however, would show both parts together, even though no single symptom in the repertory displays the whole thing.

You only need to use the more precise symptom, the one that most characterizes it. By using multiple rubrics that all mean the same thing you are giving unnatural weight to particular remedies and to particular symptoms.

If one takes those symptoms as important and accepts that the rubrics you have chosen best represent the problems (and this is not certain), and then does an analysis the way it should be done, the best scoring remedies are...

China
Bryonia
Lachesis

Personally, if I had no other information, the remedy would be China. However, without a properly taken case that would still be a guess.
