i see a natural path doctor for a few issues i have.. some anxiety and depression.
my doctor has given me the option of having acupuncture done.
he told me about it a little bit, showed me some of the needles he will use. he told me that it will probably help me to feel better in some areas, but im very nervous.
i am quite afraid of needles, no matter the size.
i also have a HUGE imagination, and i don’t like the though of needles going into my skin. it just makes me nervous.
so i was wondering if anyone knew anything else about acupuncture that they could share with me?

anything AT ALL would be helpful.

I have tried zoloft and paxil with extreme negative side effects including worsened anxiety, I’ve also been trying alternative therapies such as acupuncture and chinese herbs. They helped for a while but the attacks are back with a vengeance. Daily functioning has become hard. I’m curious about Lexapro and if anyone with the same probs may have benefited from it. Also, how long did it take to notice a difference? Please help Thanks

Is it good for stress and dose it make a difference.

I was just wondering if anyone has tried ear beads. I am going to the acupuncture therapist for anxiety and HPB. I mentioned the weight gain associated with the meds and she told me that we might try ear beads. Just curious if anyone else has tried. BTW – I realize diet and exercise are the best ways to lose weight but when you are on these meds it goes very slow if at all. Just looking for anyone who has tried this. Thanks!

I am a smoker (obviously) and I want to quit, BUT I have tried everything else to quit and it’s just so so so hard…and with the stress in my life right now, I pretty much give up on everything else, but wanted to know if anyone here has had acupuncture to quit or know someone that has had it and if it worked!! I appreciate your answers and suggestions

I do acupuncture for stress related issues, but I saw today that it helps with weight loss. does anyone have any experience, information or a link that they could give me? thanks!

I go to an outpatient treatment center (for drugs and alcohol, if you must know) and there is an acupuncturist there every Wednesday. I opted to have acupuncture done today because it’s only $5 and is supposed to ease cravings, stress and anxiety. It made me feel really good/weird. I’m just wondering about anyone else’s experience with this. I think I will have it done again next Wednesday. I have so much going on in my life right now and for the first time in weeks I am able to think about it without having a panic attack.

I live in northern Virginia and I’m thinking about getting acupuncture treatments for depression and allergies. Can anyone in the northern Virginia area recommend a good practitioner to me? I’ve searched online, but I can’t find many reviews for acupuncture places around here. Also, what can I expect to pay per session for the treatments?

I am sick of prozac and so i’m looking for alternative treatment. Has anyone tried acupuncture or know how successful it is?

Thanks
