This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
You should never take more than one medicine at a time, and you should not take a different medicine from the first one until a proper assessment of the response has been done. Changing remedies should only be done if the first remedy has ceased to have any benefit.

Taking remedies together (too close together) can not only create side effects, but can make it difficult to work out which remedy is doing what, or if remedies are cancelling each other out or causing interactions.

Thanks,
Glad on receiving a quick response!

I was taking 5 medicines of 30 potency each and they were complementing one another. I wish to increase the potency. I am doubtful as 200c is a high potency dosage. Therefore, I have certain apprehensions in taking them together. 30c potency combination was working ok. Mine is a long history of ailment, therefore I want to go for a high potency.

This is not the right way to be using our medicines. You are taking a great risk in using them this way. You are unlikely to be cured unless the basic principles of homoeopathy are followed (single remedy, minimum dose, law of similars, totality of symptoms, direction of cure, miasmatic state).

Homoeopathy is very powerful, and if used in a casual way it can create side effects, new symptoms, even whole new diseases.

The remedies do not work in a complementary way when all taken together. The only way for one remedy to complement the other, is for the first remedy to be given a chance to make a change, then that change is analysed and a new remedy given on the basis of the new picture.

I can take your case if you want, but I can't approve taking remedies I haven't myself worked out that you need. Did you want me to do that?

let me explain my case:
I am v shy,reserved and escape from social gatherings. My symptoms started during my teens and have aggravated with time. I am highly qualified but jobless due to my inhibitions and shyness. I avoid making eye contact with ppl and appear nervous and anxious. I speak in a low tone and v conscious of my appearance and the way i speak. I have very small frnd circle. I get so nervous and anxious that i wish to just run away;Instead of facing the situations i try to evade and escape.
I have been taking the medicines i mentioned earlier in this post, with little relief. I do nt gel up with ppl and hv serious disposition.

HOW TO DESCRIBE YOUR COMPLAINTS

In homoeopathy, prescription is based on precise details of various symptoms from which you suffer. To tell or write to a homoeopathic physician 'I have a headache ', ' an eruption ' or “a cough” would not be enough. If you inform him 'I have headache with sharp shooting pains in the left side of the head and temple, these pains always come on when the slightest cold air strikes the head. I feel better by pressing the head very hard.” Then only you have given all the information required for making a good homoeopathic prescription. The success of the prescription depends; largely on how detailed your description of the symptoms is.
We require the following details about your symptoms.

LOCATION: Please give the exact location of sensation, pain or eruption. Also describe where the pain or sensation spreads.

SENSATION: Express the type of sensation or the pain that you get in your own words however simple or funny it may seem. You may have a sensation that a mouse is crawling or the heart was grasped by an iron hand or you may have a pain that is cutting, burning jerking, pressing. Express the sensation or pain as it feels to you. Try to explain the whole sensation in the exact way it is happening and not just the word. We need to understand the whole process of the sensation as it is happening to you.

WHAT MAKES YOU WORSE OR BETTER:

Many factors are likely to influence your complaint. Some factors may intensify it and some factors may relieve the trouble. A detailed list of the factors is given at the end. Please refer it while describing each of your troubles and indicate which factors make the complaint better or worse.

DISCHARGES: You may have a discharge from nose, ears, mouth, eyes, ulcers, fistula, eruptions on skin, private parts, etc. Please describe your discharge under the following aspects.
• The quantity and the time or condition under which the quantity varies i.e. when is it better or worse, when does it increase or decrease?
• The consistency: Is it thin or thick, stringy or clotted?
• Is it like jelly, white of an egg, like water, sticky forming a scab etc.?
• The odour, what does it remind you of?
• Does it make the parts sore, and in what way?

I was taking ambra grisea 30,ignatia 30,baryta carb 30 and gelsmium 30. I was feeling fine but not completely well. I used to feel nervous and self conscious in company.There was a slight change for the better. Then a dr prescribed me ignatia 1M . that aggravated my condition. He told me to stop it. I returned back to my initial medicines of 30 potency each. I FELT FINE NOT COMPLETELY WELL. I thought of increasing the potency to a slighter degree. I bought all these medicines of 200c potency each. Yesterday, i took ambra grisea 200c, and am waiting to see its results for a week.
Could u pls guide me about my further course of action and the medicines i shd take? Shd i take gelsemium 200c today or wait?
 
likecureslike last decade
I cannot guide you if you are going to self-prescribe. I have spent several hours now working on your case on the assumption that you wanted me to supervise, but if you are going to take remedies on your own I will leave you to do that.
 
Evocationer last decade
I am taking medicines which i find suitable. As i wish to cure myself, I am open for help. I will stop taking my medicnes. I was taking these medicines as i had no alternative. if u prescribe me, i will stop taking my medicines.
 
likecureslike last decade
I have told u my case history with the medicines i used to take(as asked by you). I wish to cure myself, therefore whatever remedy comes my way, i go forward with that.If u do nt wish to take this case, it's fine.
 
likecureslike last decade
You will have to wait at least 7 days now to see what that last remedy does.

You cannot cure yourself with homoeopathy. No homoeopath in the world can treat their own chronic problems, especially not mental and emotional ones. You must have someone prescribing who is objective and can see clearly. There is no shame in this - none of us can do it. I have worked as a homoeopath for over 20 years and taught homoeopathy at a college level, and I am unable to self-prescribe.

I have already fully repertorized your case and decided on a remedy, which is not any of the ones you have been looking at. I will give you the name of that remedy once the 7 days have passed. Please repost with a report on the results of the Ambr 200 at that time and we can move forward from there.

ok...thanks

likecureslike last decade
hi!

First,I would like to thank u for taking out time to study my case.
As u told me to report after 7 days. It's been a week since I took my last dosage of ambra 200.
My initial 4-5 days were v bad. I had severe anxiety and negative feelings. I was restless and felt frustrated. But from last two days, I felt a little better. My nervousness and anxiety decreased a bit.Though, I was not v well. I interacted with people.
Overall, I had a mixed nature of feelings. Initially, very bad , later a bit better.
I would request to pls advise me.
