> So you wouldn't tell someone with bipolar or psychosis to meditate themselves off medication, but you would tell someone with suicidal major depression with comorbid anxiety too??
Nope, indeed I would not. If you were taking a medication that was assisting you then I would not suggest that you meditate yourself off it. But from what I gathered from your posts the problem is that you do not currently have anything that is working for you. You asked what might assist anxiety and I replied that meditation may assist. You posted that you have experienced problems with medications and so I thought that meditation may be particularly helpful to someone in that kind of situation.
>The suicidal ideation only lessened after adding remeron.
Terrific!
>To some extent I believe it is medication induced and I am looking for something to add to the measly amount of remeron to help balance me out.
Hmm. If you think that your anxiety is medication induced then I don't understand why you are so keen to have even more medication to assist with side affects. Another medication may assist with the side affect of anxiety, but may have side affects of its own. And then (by that logic) you would require another medication... and so it goes on...
> I think we have covered the topic of meditation thoroughly, so what is your motivation by continually bringing it up again?
Probably the fact that you respond to my posts on meditation... and then I respond to your response... and you respond to my response to your response... and so it goes on. That tends to be how conversations work. That seems to be how topics of conversations are continued. I do not think that I am 'continually bringing it up again' - rather it seems to be the topic of our conversation.
Any way, good luck with the search for the 'cure'. I hope you find what you are looking for.
