Depression Drugs and Migraine Drugs Don’t Mix: Treat Both with one Drug-
When news breaks that drug interactions pose significant health risks, patients seek
healthy alternatives to help manage their symptoms. EFT is a do-
A recent FDA Public Health Advisory warns that mixing certain antidepressants,
including Prozac and Zoloft, with a certain migraine drug, Triptans, could cause
serotonin syndrome, a life-
The theory behind EFT states that migraines
and depression are symptoms of a disrupted energy meridian system (Chi or Qi) which
is put out of balance by unresolved emotional issues. When negative emotions like
fear, guilt, and anger are addressed with EFT, the energy meridian system balances,
and symptoms of depression, and migraine pain dissipate. Complex cases may take several
applications of EFT but most people report an immediate improvement in their depression,
and pain symptoms.
Dr. Joseph Mercola uses EFT in his busy medical practice to treat
patients with migraines as well as depression. According to Dr. Mercola, “Migraines
are another example of a physical problem that usually has an underlying emotional
cause. It is very rare where EFT is unable to completely remove the pain of this
type of migraine. It usually works within seconds and the relief tends to be permanent.”
Dr.
Mercola indicates that at one time, he prescribed antidepressants to thousands of
patients. “They seemed to work well for many however; in not one single case did
they solve the underlying foundation reason as to why the person was depressed. In
2001, I learned how to use EFT to treat depression and it is very rare where I need
to use antidepressants for any patient. I believe I can count the number of prescriptions
I have written for them on one hand since I started using EFT.”
One EFT user, Kimberly,
wrote to the EFT website with her story of how EFT helped her migraines and her depression.
Kimberly had been hit by an SUV while crossing the street. She turned to acupuncture
and that helped control her pain where conventional medical treatments had not. On
the day of her acupuncture treatment, she developed a serious migraine.
On a scale
of 1 to 10, her migraine pain was an 8 and acupuncture needles brought the pain down
to a 5, but no further. Her acupuncturist also practiced EFT and asked Kimberly if
there was any emotional issue tied to the migraine. Kimberly says, “Suddenly it was
as though my brain was screaming at me ‘I HATE MY JOB!!!’ and it took me totally
by surprise.”
The acupuncturist did EFT on Kimberly for several minutes and eliminated
the migraine pain. Kimberly realized that she was not only pain free, but had an
enormous amount of energy, although she usually felt drowsy following acupuncture.
Kimberly
says, “I realized something else -
According to Gary
Craig, “We see this phenomenon repeatedly when people do EFT for physical symptoms
– their emotional symptoms subside or they address their emotional issues and their
physical symptoms disappear. I know of no other self-
