Ocd and depression risk free meds?

I have very bad ocd and depression at the moment, and have been prescribed an ssri, (setraline as it's called here in uk, i think it's called zoloft in the usa) i am hesitant to take it as i have a sister who years ago had a manic episode whilst on an antidepressant and was diagnosed as bipolar, she has since been off medication for 5 years now and is fine. but i am Very scared of becoming manic or hypo-manic, are things like st johns wort, 5-htp, Rhodia Rosea, and inositol still risky and capable of inducing mania as are ssris? does anyone have any ideas of what i could take? thank you all.

This will help you vastly and educate you on our health care system and its limitations
All treatment recommended by the doctors should be tested and approved and quite rightly so.
That makes sense right obviously it costs vast sums of money to test and approve treatments because of the possible damage to people and the subsequent litigation costing millions of pounds.
Drug companies Fund most research and only and I mean only look at treatments, which show the promise of good deal of a profit, will even get examined. …….and thus other therapies do not get recommended by your local doctor or hospital. Despite the fact that some of them do have overwhelming benefits some, which have saved needless operations, needless amputations, needless pain and trauma, needless kidney failures and much loss of life. Drugs are not the answer for depression with mind altering chemicals or any other mental ill ness
This does not help you does it though. when you are ill and suffering—not hearing about therapies which can help from a person you look up to and trust Have you heard your local doctor recommend, Massage Spiritual healing, Knieisiology Herbs, Light therapy,Colour therapy,Regression therapy, Osteopathy,Magnetic devices, Electrical Frequency devices.

Depression protocol but these therapies will work for many complaints of a so called mental nature
my research centers around the teachings and study of the Edgar cayce material , with added principles where appropriate. we have thousands of testimonials and results showing years of successful applications of the Edgar cayce material. Please make no assumptions or cast aspersions unless you have studied the material at hand .
Do this and I will guarantee improvements to you inside a day its that simple, of course getting these things in place can be much harder. but we have personnel experience of the effectiveness of them and they do work. Every one of them can have a very beneficial influence on you.
Print this all off save it and enact it and share it --- of course someone to help you get these therapies in your life is invaluable but do not be swayed by them trying for short cuts ….
1,get someone to massage your back and legs at least 3 times a week use peanut oil or a mix of 50-50 olive and peanut oil.
2 use the violet ray machine an edgar cayce device google search this --- 3 times a week on the other days especially on the spine….we use it every day with very positive results
3.get a tent sleep out side 3times a week utilising earth energy - nature can help big time especially with how you feel how much energy you have
4 study and apply good nutrition adequate minerals all of them particularly calcium and magnesium iron essential fatty acids as well omega 3 6 9 protein etc
5 ensure your thyroid is working well
7 ensure you do at least I hr per day some kind of voluntary work when you are able..the reasons you are ill , or poor or have allsorts of bad things happen to you is because of karma -----usually from past lives but some from this one –voluntary work will offset your mistakes--- how much it offsets well that is down to god and how much you do. Healing us is in direct proportion to the help we give others ie your healing comes with helping others achieve theirs so if people are doing very little in helping others ---they suffer more and longer...and if they are doing a lot they get well faster....so now you know what to do ,,and like a lot of us are already doing being of service.

16 avoid at all costs exposure to violence, murders, suffering ,death ,tragedies, this is what is pumped at us and they call it the news ..feed upon good things , uplifting things, things that feel like a breath of fresh air. Be careful who you mix with .
17 Positive affirmation- that’s right programme your self in the mirror , thoughts are things words are things actions are things , all have influence, few people realise these things can have an effect on themselves .
18 a detox ------ toxins can influence how you feel big time colonics castor oil packs 3 day apple diets

I have suffered with chronic depression for 8 years and have taken a tricyclic type antidepressant called Anafranil. It works brilliantly and even the psychiatrist didn't know why it worked so well for me at such a low dose! 50mg daily is required for a slight effect and I only take 30mg a day!
SSRI's did nothing for me and Anafranil has quite literally saved my life. I am myself again, it's amazing.

I can only think it works for me because my depression is very anxiety/phobia based and this medication treats obsessions and phobias as well as depression.

It might be worth asking your doctor about trying it. It's an old medication, not many prescribe it these days. My chemist stocks it for me as though it's made, there is little demand - people seem to be on SSRI's!

I've posted a couple of links on Anafranil so you can find out more about it. Hope you find it helpful...

I am not a doctor, but I was offered Zoloft at one point for feeling anxious now and then and I absolutely refused it. I just am not comfortable taking it at all. This is an intuitive feeling on my part. in my case, I chose to manage my anxiety instead of treating it with Zoloft. while I cannot tell you what to do, I can suggest you seriously reconsider any thought you may have of taking Zoloft in any form at all.
