Hi Gill,
Thanks for writing - nice to see another Brit on the list.
My own feelings about prozac etc is that I'm fine on them: no
real problems. You should have seen me when I wasn't on them!
I don't really want to go back to that kind of psychic meltdown
scenario, so I'm staying on these things for a few more years
before giving them up and making it on my own. I can make
progress anyway in the meantime. These medications only
restore the brain to its proper neurochemistry levels anyway -
would you tell a diabetic not to take insulin?
One thing I notice about Prozac is that I sometimes have a devil
may care attitude which I didn't have before, but that's maybe only
me as I am when I'm not feeling depressed or apathetic.

Hi Tom,
I have been on Prozac in the past. One thing the doctors often don't
tell you is that it can stop working, sometimes quite suddenly, and
that when it does you feel worse than you ever did before (hence
Prozac-related suicides). Kundalini can cause huge emotional
ups-and-downs anyway, so the chances of it landing you in serious
trouble are pretty high... Please, wait till you are over the mental
problems that you are taking the meds for, before trying anything
more than short periods of meditation.
OTOH, I would guess that maybe 20 mins of meditation per day would do
no harm, and would probably be beneficial.

ps My knowledge of depression and Prozac I got first-hand, but my
knowledge of Kundalini is second-hand (mostly learnt here) so it's
all very much IMHO.
