Can I combine my allopathy medications for anxiety, depression, and insomnia with homeopathy medications?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

You can take medication combined with homeopathy if you are not taking it for mental illness. You should take psychiatry medication under your psychiatrist's prescription. You should also follow the below guidelines to deal with your problem. You should exercise 30 to 45 minutes daily, like at least going for a walk. Try doing meditation for 20 minutes daily. Just sit at one place in a comfortable position and try to concentrate on your normal breathing, do not stop or force yourself to stop your thoughts. Just let it be. Start eating healthy home-cooked foods, and avoid junk foods. Drink a lot of water. Spend some quality time with friends and family daily or do video calls if you are living away from your family. You can also spend time on creative hobbies like reading good books, writing journals, painting, drawing, and learning new skills, language, or musical instruments. Get good sleep of 7 to 8 hours daily. Avoid the consumption of tobacco, alcohol, or any other substance.

It is not important which type of medications you are taking. The important part is to treat your depression. If you are stable without medications, you do not need antidepressants or homeopathy. It is like diabetes. If a patient with diabetes can control sugar, then the patient does not need medication. If he cannot control it, he needs medications to control sugar levels. And still, he is not able to control it then he needs the support of insulin. So the basic point is that he needs to control his sugar. In the same way, if you can control your thoughts or stress, you do not need allopathy or homeopathy medicines. You must take at least six months of your medication before tapering off.

I am sorry that homeopathy is not so effective if you have a chronic and long history of depression. I am an allopathic doctor, but I have seen many patients who tried homeopathy but then returned to allopathic as they were not stable on homeopathy. Still, if you want to try, then you must try homeopathy. But you should not take both medications. Otherwise, how will you know which one is effective? You should taper off your allopathic then you should start homeopathic medications. You must not suddenly stop your allopathic medication. Otherwise, you will have withdrawal symptoms if you take it for a long time. You need to ask the homeopathic doctor for its course and duration. I am not able to answer it. Can you tell me the name of your current antidepressant medications, doses, and duration?

Tablet Rivotril (Clonazepam) is antianxiety medicine that helps you to deal with sleep. I think that the tablet Metoten (Phenothiazines) is not an antidepressant. Ask your doctor to prescribe antidepressants like tablet Escitalopram (Lexapro) 10 mg or tablet Sertraline (Zoloft) 25 mg. I am sure it will help you deal with your anxiety and depression.
