Trying to get off meds...

[Kashe]

I have been an anti depressants and anxiety meds for 2 years now. I still have anxiety with the meds. I would like to deal with it, rather than mask it with drugs. Has anyone done this? What should I expect? What help?
P.s. I just joined this site. :)

Medication should really be p[aired with therapy. Speak to a dr about therapists in your area and see what they recommend about medication and where to go from here. Also worth looking at your diet. it plays a big role in how we feel mentally.

What kinds of foods could help?

[raggamuffin]

Avoid processed foods, ready meals, sweets, junk food. processed sugars especially. Look for wholefoods, raw vegetables, wholegrains and fruit. Plenty of water. A radical diet change can do wonders but it takes time. There is no overnight cure for anxiety or depression as much as we'd all love to find one. But eating healthily is a good first step to take.
