Recently I have had a flare up of anxiety/depression episodes and I have had ibs the doc put me on amitriptyline again to help with the anxiety/depression I was on it a few years ago for a slight case of social anxiety and to help with the abdominal pain from the ibs I am looking into getting acupuncture but I wanted to make sure that there's no chance the acupuncture can some how make it worse has anyone here ever been treated with acupuncture?
Hi Raykenny, Ive never had acupuncture but can't see how it would make symptoms worse so give it a go. Neil
I've had acupuncture for years. For me it really helps me to relax. I believe it has kept me off antidepressants a few times in the past. At the moment my anxiety is really bad and acupuncture isn't enough but when it's a little milder ot makes a huge difference to me. You need to find a good therapist you can trust.
Hi Can you recommend anyone ?
Where abouts in the world are you?
