Also, put the word &quot;antidepressants&quot; into a google search engine and information both pro and con will come up. You should find enough to take to your doctor.<\/p>\n<p>\tFrom my knowledge and information, it would be best to work with a wholistic type doctor to wean yourself from the medications. Sometimes medications have such a vicious hold on a person&#39;s physiology that to drop them cold turkey is not wise. As you get more into the raw lifestyle, you should start feeling much better and depression will lose it&#39;s hold on you.<\/p>\n<p>\tAgain my suggestion is to find a wholistic doctor to help wean you off the medications at the appropriate time.<\/p>\n<p>\tWith blessings and peace,<\/p>\n<p>\tRhio<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>< In a message dated 6\/24\/03 2:18:48 PM, Bridgitte writes: Hello, I&#39;m just starting out on raw foods, and I&#39;ve been looking for information on raw foods and stopping medications (specifically anti-depressants).
