Alexandra,

So you wouldn't tell someone with bipolar or psychosis to meditate themselves off medication, but you would tell someone with suicidal major depression with comorbid anxiety too?? That doesn't make sense. The suicidal ideation only lessened after adding remeron. Unfortunately, I can only take a low dose which is not doing enough for the anxiety or the depression. I never had anxiety like this before going on paxil/going through withdrawal. (Yes, I had social anxiety and GAD but never this physical, for no reason whatsoever anxiety) To some extent I believe it is medication induced and I am looking for something to add to the measly amount of remeron to help balance me out. Like I said, I tried for over nine months to get energy healings, meditate etc etc and I wanted to kill myself everyday until I was finally able to get onto an AD.

I understand your reluctance about benzos. But I can't take benzos so it isn't really pertinent to this conversation. On that note, though, on other boards, there are people who say they would pick benzo or opiod withdrawal over effexor or paxil withdrawal anyday. I have not been through benzo or opiod withdrawal so I don't know if that is true or not. My withdrawal was the worst my pdoc had ever seen.

I think we have covered the topic of meditation thoroughly, so what is your motivation by continually bringing it up again?
