lopey

are there any psychiatric hospitals that practice alternative meds
and/or treat candida?

i was put on prozac 15 years ago (for an eating disorder), i stupidly
came off of it cold turkey last january because i had unexplained
gastro symptoms (later found out candida/yeast) by june i was getting very
bad withdrawal symptoms with anxiety (happened before when i
tried to stop). my candida was really bad too at that point as was lgs
and i couldnt eat ANYTHING without allergy shots. my doctor didnt
believe about the candida so i didnt tell him (last time i had candida
he just thought i was depressed). i tried to go back on the prozac to
stop the withdrawals but it flipped me out. so i stopped but then i
was acting weirder so my doc kept pushing it. at this point i didnt
know whether i was acting weird because of the drug or withdrawal
from it or that i am just completely insane! it was just real bad timing
with the candida and food intolerances (gastro functioning). should have known better if i
couldnt even have a sugar tablet without getting lightheaded. should
have known better than to give up the prozac after 15 years too.
anyway, i was acting weird and ended up suicidal. i stupidly took an
overdose which made me act even weirder. my friend just thought i
was being more normal because i guess the sleeping pills
counteracted the prozac, but after i woke up i was in a really bad way.
i ended up in hospital about 1 week later, where they took away my
allergy shots , and gave me even more psych. meds. i was always
tired and light headedbut didnt know if it was the food intolerances
or the meds.
at this point i am quite scared i have brain damage from all the meds!
but of course when i tell my doc that i dont remember things he says
its because of depression and wants to give me more
antidepressants! oh yeah, cant make decisions about anything
anymore and doc thinks again its depression and meds will help- me
make decisions???

anyway, didnt have yeast meds either but i cant even tell the
symptoms of that anymore (i am sure it came back because i was
eating lots of sugar and carbs in hospital and i never took probiotics
with the nystatin the first time (i was even allergic to those).

but nonetheless i am acting really weird. i snap at people, i hear myself say things and cant believe i am saying them. i wont leave the house. i call my friends repeatedly but there is no advice they can give to help. the yeast makes me really tired and lightheaded but everyone just thinks i am lazy. i dont know if i am naturally going crazy or its the drugs.

after 15 years prozac nd
abrupt withdrawal do i need it? i was acting stranger on it this
summer but still. i tried to give up the diff. antidepressants the doc
gave me in hospital but i got really lightheaded and felt like i wasnt
really "there".

at this point i dont even leave the house (living with relatives) and i
look like a zombie. and i feel really weird. taking small dose celexa. i
was offered a small dose of prozac again. i diont know whether to
take it. i am back on nystatin. i am so scared. i really dont know what
to do. its a catch 22! i would go to a psych hospital but i dont have
the money for a good one, and they would just give me more drugs.
and wouldnt even believe me about the yeast, when thats what
caused this whole nightmare of me coming off the prozac

its like i have forgotten everything, i dont do anything but eat and
sleep i cant interact with anyone nothing. i even thought i
developed autism lol. and i just repeat myself (like "i should have
done x"), its really weird, i know i do it.

any ideas? everyone says just go to a psychiatric hospital that would
treat the candida, but like where??

at this rate i am going to lose everything, my job, house etc.
really scared.

trying to do candida type diet (hard at grandparents) but other than
that, i just dont know what to do. my brain is so messed up from the
drugs, or is it depression? no, i am acting well strange. dont even
have food allergy shots anymore, and i dont know what i can even eat
anymore (i swear ssris affect gastric functioning).


i cant beieve i gave up the prozac when it was candida all along. its
even suppsed to have antifungal activity! ack. i just wanted to fee
better and ended up destroying myself.

serious though, i am scared, any ideas anyone?
