Emotional / Neurological

I was feeling depressed and stressed because I didn’t like my job and didn’t know what to do with my life.  I started taking Lexipro but it really affected my libido so I stopped taking it.  I tried acupuncture because my husband said it helped him when he was depressed years earlier (before he met me!)  I went to Raleigh Acupuncture and started treatments.  They were really knowledgeable about Chinese medicine and explained how the body gets stuck in depression, and how the acupuncture gets the body unstuck.  They really listened to me and helped me figure stuff out.  I started feeling less depressed.  Then I actually started getting more clear about what I wanted to do with my life career-wise.  I decided to go back to school and now I’m almost done with my degree.  I haven’t felt depressed at all since I was treated and I’m really excited about my life.  I’m very grateful to them for being such great healers and such a great support to me when I really needed it.

I haven’t slept well for 20 years.  That all changed when I was treated at Raleigh Acupuncture for my insomnia.  They said it would take 12 treatments, so I took a leap of faith and tried it.  I saw changes start to happen after just a few treatments.  Over the course of three months I was able to sleep better and better.  I weaned myself off of Ambien, and am now sleeping like a baby again.  I never thought I’d see the day!  It really worked.  And guess what?  I’ve got more energy now.  Imagine that – a good night sleep gives you more energy!  Rocket science!  Thanks guys!

I came in for acupuncture highly skeptical that it would be able to help me. I’m an A-type personality and very wired. I feel like I’ve been anxious my entire life. My wife must have been secretly researching treatments for anxiety because last month she announced that I WOULD be trying acupuncture! She did well picking the practice, as the doctors at Acupuncture Associates were top notch. They explained how acupuncture worked to deal with anxiety and then set about doing it. Well, I wouldn’t be writing this letter if it didn’t work. So you know the outcome. Highly satisfactory! I’m still an A-type guy, but with a fraction of the anxiety. The feelings of dread that were constantly lingering around me are gone. In it’s place I feel a sense of peacefulness, albeit a wired peacefulness.
