Arsenicum Album anxiety

How do you know your irritability is due to the remedy?

One dose of 30ch potency once a week is considered pretty safe. How many doses have you taken?

Have you taken any other remedy earlier and in what potency? Do you think you are sensitive to potencies?

If Ars Alb is helping you feel normal again, its likely that the cause of your irritability is not Ars Alb.

Actually I would say any new or exaggerated symptoms have to be considered part of the state, and therefore part of the remedy reaction.

The problem with getting advice here, is nobody knows if this remedy is the right one, and so it is difficult to judge what is happening and give advice.

You may be proving the remedy, you have suppressed your symptoms and created a new condition, you may be taking too large a dose, you may have moved away from Arsenicum and into a new remedy state, Arsenicium might only be a partial similar. There are a lot of possibilities really.

Depending on which one of those situations is arising here, would determine the action you would take, although the one safest course is always to stop the remedy for a period of time and see what happens.

There is no real answer to that question. Some people need more of a remedy, some people need much less. Take too much and you can create serious problems, take too little and you will never be cured.

This is why you need a homoeopath supervising and prescribing. They should have the training and experience to manage the extended use of a medicine, if such use is necessary.

You may fill this questionnaire if you want to give your case here.
