The need for Antidepressant addiction help is on the rise. Antidepressant addiction symptoms can stem from a physical dependency to these medications, long term use or just plain addiction to the drug. These drugs take depression away; most people do not want to feel depressed. Once they have been taking a drug for depression and their depression fades away, this makes many people happy and not wanting to be without these drugs. Antidepressant abuse is practically advertised as a legal version of opium addiction; drugs that can make depression disappear and restore euphoria in life. Prescriptions drugs do not cure or fix depressive symptoms, they lessen depression while they are in your system but if you stop taking them you are right back where you started.
Who wants to take the time to maintain mental health and identify the underlying causes of their own depression when you can take a pill everyday that makes you feel good and takes your depression away? The majority of people would rather take the pill everyday but the depression is still there, just covered up. Are antidepressants addictive? They can be. Some form of rehabilitation is often needed for Prozac addiction or dependence to other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). These dependencies are real addictions; but many people do not feel the guilt of being addicted to antidepressants because a medical health care professional prescribed it to them. People can develop the same physical (and mental) dependency upon antidepressants such as Trazodone as a person would from using heroin. Additionally, people usually require professional Antidepressant addiction treatment and alternative mental health therapies when trying to end Trazodone addiction.
Many people are physically and mentally dependent upon a depression medication without wanting to be, unwillingly. Other people, on the other hand, are willingly aware that they need and want to take anti-depression drugs to make them happy, they may even abuse their drugs and take more than prescribed to relieve depression. Antidepressant abuse can cause a barrage of problems including SSRI or SNRI addiction and Antidepressant withdrawal. Physical dependency and addiction to these drugs are common reasons for discontinuation of use. Antidepressant medication withdrawal should not be attempted without Antidepressant addiction help. Many people are highly misinformed about the potentials of Paxil addiction, Effexor addiction, and dependency to other antidepressants. Individuals may also be misinformed about Antidepressant withdrawal, and side effects of SSRIs, SNRIs and other anti-depressant drugs.
Most of the time, a person is given an antidepressant before there has been any effort into investigating why the person is depressed and exploring alternative to psychiatry approaches. Does this person just have low Serotonin and there are no other contributing factors? What about a low thyroid problem? What about an accumulative presence of environmental neurotoxins like heavy toxic metals that devastate energy metabolism? Allergies to food, which causes internal swelling that slows down metabolism, may also be a factor. Or, if the individual has a diet so poor in vitamins and nutrients, they may not be able to create what is required for proper brain health. Often we forget that the same insults of an undernourished diet that are body is subjected to, our brains are also subject to.
And maybe the person is just involved in an unsatisfactory lifestyle, and requires a more supportive environment to make positive changes. For many persons, an anti-depressant is prescribed during an emotionally traumatic time, but years later they are still taking the medication, and suffer antidepressant medication withdrawal symptoms if they attempt to come off of the drug. At Alternative to Meds Center’s Sedona treatment facility, we discover the medical causes of why an individual may be depressed or suffering with other symptoms. Our Arizona drug rehab program includes lab testing to identify these causes, alternative to psychiatry approaches, orthomolecular medicine, natural substances to stabilize and support the neurochemistry, cleansing of the body to remove environmentally accumulated neurotoxins, medication withdrawal techniques, peer support, massage, orthomolecular IV amino therapies and other nutritional therapy, personal exercise training, yoga, and alternative mental health therapies equipped to provide comfortable and effective Antidepressant addiction treatment.
At Alternative to Meds Center, we find success every day. Every week, we have graduation parties to celebrate the success of participants who were previously addicted to antidepressants or other substances. There are about 50 people who attend, that include friends and family, staff and other residents. Mind blowing stories are spoken of at graduations, sometimes recounting many years of unnecessary suffering, with amazing clarity. Seeing this inspires us, knowing that the participant has the tools to continue a healthy lifestyle and become an encouragement to others.
You are invited to call us and talk, and find out about the kind of Antidepressant addiction help which is available.
