Subject: [K-list] anti-depressants and k
From: mediaone

On 2002/01/08 18:52, mediaone posted thus to the K-list:

I started to write a post about this topic a few days ago and then my
computer froze up while I was reviewing it and I lost the whole thing. At
the time I decided to put off rewriting it--couldn't face putting the effort
in again. But something from one of the posts about seratonin levels made
me decide to try posting this question tonight.

I have been taking anti-depressants in one form or another since my early
20s (I am now 34). Started taking them for severe depression (I was
motivated to write about this the other day after the "Dark Night of the
Soul" posts) and found that it helped tremendously. Also seemed to relieve
CFS symptoms--less fatigue, muscle pain. However, the medication seemed to
have a real dampening effect on K activity--dramatically reducing the energy
and incidence of K. I have recently decided to try to decrease my meds and
perhaps to wean off of them completely. I had found myself wondering if I
was just postponing my "DNOTS" by taking the meds, and whether the
suppression of K energy is perhaps not in my longterm best interest.

My question is, does anyone know anything about anti-depressants and K?
Know anyone who has K awakening and has taken or takes meds? What about the
whole DNOTS issue? Am I just postponing the inevitable--putting off my
existential anguish through psychopharmacology?

Information much appreciated!
