Sabine’s story
I suffered many years before my illnesses were diagnosed in the early 1990’s. But my suffering would not end there. My illnesses went on to take the precious time of Medical and Psychiatric Doctors and countless visitations for treatment. I was diagnosed with rapid cycling manic depressive disorder (bipolar depression), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), borderline personality disorder, and fibromyalgia – the list of symptoms for these illnesses is much too long to list here. The prescribed treatment included aggressive drug cocktails that included Effexor, Haldol, Risperidal, Lamictal, Prozac, Serzone, Neurontin, Seroquel, Olanzapine, Oxazepam, Cogentin, Ativan, Diazepam, Amitriptyline, and others.
My life was not a life in this condition. I was either in the hospital or bed-ridden at home, and in such a drugged state that I was up only a couple of hours per day and had extremely limited ability. For many of those years I have little or no memory other than pain, both mental and physical – no memory of time with my three children or time with my husband since there was precious little of that in my state. The aggressive drug ‘therapy’ brought no relief and was at best only sufficient to keep me out of the hospital and confined to my bed. On top of it all, the drugs brought about severe and unwanted sideeffects. Years went by in this state, with prescribed variations in dangerous drug cocktails.
Prescription costs were enormous with many months averaging well over $1,200 per month. I knew I could not live much longer in this state, nor did I want to anymore. Then, in the spring of 2001, I began taking Empowerplus vitamin and mineral supplement while at the same time keeping my medical and psychiatric doctors informed. With supervision, I weaned off of the drug-cocktail over several months and by continuing with the Empowerplus supplement my mental and physical health improved rapidly and beyond belief. Empowerplus has given me back my health and life and has allowed me to become a wife and mother
