Medication Update....

I felt bad becasue I did not explain the med change yesterday as much as I could have. Learning together is why Bella's is here ... and I'm glad to share as I work hard at advocating. I got called to my sisters for the day so I have some time to Blog....

Re: Meds (I'm not a doctor or practitioner SO ...these are just my opinions exspressed here today.

So far I have been on meds that treat depression .... I am one not to go on meds but this brain thing got me .... I knew I had to humble myself if I NEEDED a doctor to listen to me someday! I also knew this was the route to take in order to gain control and understanding over my life. This choice has served myself and others I share this experience with really well!!

Let me get critical ... as I have said before this beautiful mind is electrical not emotional or suffering from phycosis!! Depression meds treat the three various hormones in the brain (seratonin, dopamine, and norepinephe). Can I ask ...what do organic chemicals (if you will) have to do with electricity and or Neuro firing in the brain?



Stay with me I'm making my case here. I told DR. Future (my psychologist) this in lay terms and he nodded .... I also told him the research that is out there says they cant figure out if us beautifully minded people have too much dopamine pooling and or are the receptors of the dopamine not absorbing (he agreed again). My logic is this ....the electrical current comes first which pushes forward (if you will) all these natural hormones which means this to me.....
So ... the drug I think is genius as of late it a drug that treats seizures. (I may have mentioned this before) if not here we are. :) FOR NOW (OR UNTIL I CAN FIND A NATURAL REMEDY) I take it at night ...it helps me sleep ...and my brain settles down and LOW AND BEHOLD I feel good the next day like none other! All the exercising and supplements and depression meds have not settled down this electrical process which (i think) affects MY hormonal balance. It makes sense ...(in my eyes) I'm now treating the core, the very root of the beautiful mind. This way the rest of my bodily systems get a chance to respond naturally ... AGAIN ... I take it at night...it calms my electric brain...which (I think) changes how the hormones fire. Very importatnt if I'm correct in this!!

Lets us stop here and ponder this for now ...

I have a beautiful mind and I'm thankful!!
