women on Zoloft

[Gisela Ahrendt]

Hello everyone - I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS BEEN ON Zoloft for the last 6 years she is gaining a lot of weight and has stopped taking it - but she is depressed and has low energy - she is otherwise healthy apart from suffering from bouts of Rosacea. I came up with Radium Bromatum - can any one tell me
if I am on the right track - I am a little concerned about the long term use of Zoloft.
Really appreciate any feed back.

I found the following website very helpful in describing prescription drugs, etc. It is really thorough.

Thank you Mary Ann
yes I read the side effects of Zoloft - but what about the Radium Bromatum - think I could get her off the depression? Wonder if taking it for so long she poisoned her body and really need a detox?
What do you think?
Gisela

Is she taking anything else? How long has she been taking it? What is the dose? I think it is extremely difficult to get off anything for someone with depression unless they are committed to it. The relative I have been working with has had great success but at the same time has to fight his doctor constantly. He is on state mandated care and this week he just flat out said no when she wanted to put him on a plethora of things because he had a bad spell. Unless she changes her nutrition, sticks to it, exercises, takes things like Omega 3 in a usable form and does other things to remove the maintaining cause along with her remedy I think it is likely to take a miracle. The problem is that the drug itself can cause the depression to become worse so she has to fight what has happened since she began her prescription. Not impossible but a planned out, concerted, committed effort is what will make the difference. Of course, worth every effort but unless she takes responsibility for it also it is unlikely to happen. Does she have a good emotional and mental environment at this time which will provide the security she needs to move forward?

Oh, I definitely think a detox would be good as the very first effort, maybe even using gemmotherapy which I found particularly effective.

Hmm - I agree with all - she is currently not taking Zoloft - for about 8 month now but feels depressed and unhappy - she also has a 'unhappy and sad life she says. She works at a job she does not like any more (38 years) HER HUSBAND IS A PILOT AND GONE A LOT. She is lonely - I wonder if I give her Star of Bethlehem and Radium Brom - if that will make a difference.
Normally I do not struggle that much but this case is difficult for me because most of the time I deal with acutes.
Thanks for your helping I appreciate it.Sometimes a different perspective is what we need.

Gisela,
You may end up having to potentize the Zoloft to complete her withdrawal. I've had to do that with Xanax.
Peace,
Dale

Dale
that sounds good - will give it a thought. But I still would like to know what you guys think of Radium Brom - please.

Right on topic, Gisela, thanks for sharing this case.
Open with a dose of Sulfur. Radium bromatum has a relatively narrow spectrum of action. It is followed well by Rhus tox, also indicated here.But rad-b only covers one of the four symptoms you've given us,rosacea. Sulphur covers all four, as do more than a dozen other remedies.
Ask what kind of woman is this? Sepia? Veratrum? Lachesis? Rhus-tox? Give us some more symptoms, esp something unusual.
Potentizing Zoloft is isopathy at worst, homeopathy at best, but not true homoeopathy. Stand your ground as a homoeopath and treat this case prima facie, what's in front of you, irregardless what you think caused the symptoms. If I was treating the cause I would be inclined to use Fluoricum acidum to antidote sertraline hydrochloride, not Zoloft. She doesn't need more of the same, does she?
Look for the symptom that makes this case distinctive, something unusual. Go from the generals to the particulars.
I have developed a symptom analysis algorithm that reveals those symptoms unique to a remedy, what I have called the "Genius of the Remedy." Here is the Genius of the Remedy for Radium bromide. See if any of her symptoms fit these symptoms unique to rad-br:
Out of 86 sx there are only two.
CLINICAL, BURNS AND X-RAY BURNS
GENERALITIES, AS IF BONES ARE PROTUDING
For these two symptoms, Rad-br is the only remedy noted in the MM. Dies one or the other fit?
Without seeing the case or knowing more I'd go with Sulfur and see what you can find more particular. Look for what makes her unique.
best wishes,
John

I definitely would encourage a controlled detox diet.
Also, she may be nutritionally deficient. We need to remember
how such deficiencies can cause mood changes. For example,
I find Vit D deficiency increases SAD in me. B vitamins need
balance and sufficiency.
So many years on drugs can also affect the gut probiotic colonies.
Maybe some attention to be paid here.
