Crying or Very sad

I was taking ayurvedic treatment for 4wks as prescribed by an ayurvedic practitioner to treat my depression. I was also taking medication (low dosage of Zyprexa, Prothiadon, Xanax - all small doses as prescribed by psychiatrists). It was advised that Ayurvedic medication would not interfere with normal medication, and I could take them together. The Ayurvedic formula included Aswagandha, Brahmi, Vacha and 24 carot gold! It was a mixture of tablets, pastes and oils and a diet.

A week ago I stopped the Ayurvedic treatment, I'd taken it for 4wks and felt no significant improvement. I also stopped taking Zyprexa a week before I ceased the Ayurvedic treatment.

Now I'm much worse! I'm feeling suicidal, incoherent - I mumble and murmur strange words, I'm having severe panic attacks, I can't be left alone for 30mins, and my relatives are talking about having me hospitalized.

Able to write this evening after taking some Zyprexa. This won't last and tomorrow I will wake up just as bad.

Are these withdrawal side effects from the Ayurvedic medication or from Zyprexa ? Has anyone had bad symptoms from taking Ayurvedic herbal remedies ?
The practitioner says there's no side effects with Ayurvedic remedies, and he will not take my calls.

It took almost a week for this severe withdrawal to occur. What do I do ? I can't go on like this. It's like living inside a cyclone of self-torture.

Any answers or suggestions. Please help!!!!!!!!!!

This is for nisha hurting-wow im very sorry u are feeling so bad cuz I myself have a strong faith in herbal remedies.I unfortunately stopped doing any of my herbal treatments since i got married cuz i have health insurance and I really have to say I wish I would have never turned my back on natures finest pure drugs.I feel that since I have gone towards the conventional med way my whole body has done a 160!I want badly to ween myself away from the conventional meds and go to an herbalist or ayurvedic doc but I am having a hard time as well with getting away from meds cuz they really take u to another level sometimes and to some places u never wanted to go-evil and sick places.I am by no means a doctor but I do believe that your body is the answer to everything.If u dont listen to it than why would u listen to a textbook solution to your issues?I want desparately to be able to answer your question but I dont have one but i do have advice.Whether u take it is on u.Please do yourself the favor of going straight to the source of where youre meds stopped working and became youre enemy and try to get some answers!!It nakes me sick how docs hand out meds like candy but when u are having issues with them or have questions they are nowhere to be reached!Good luck and hang in there sunshine!We all have days like this and it will pass I promise!Now if I could listen to my own advice sometimes life wouldnt be so tangled and webbed!!!
