Constitutional remedy not working
Hello all,My constitutional remedy is Sepia, and it has done me so much good over the past couple of years. I'm currently at 200c potency. About 2.5 months ago I gave birth to our third child. Since then, the Sepia is not working at all that I can tell. The way I had been dosing it is putting one pillule in about 1 oz of water (with a little alcohol to preserve it), succuss 3 times, then three drops in a glass of water, stir well and take two spoonfuls, dumping the rest. I tried increasing succussions but no change. Should I try adding more pillules, more succussions, or buy the next stronger potency? Evocationer has helped me in the past but he's always so busy.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
First thing to do in this type of cases is to go to the next higher potency. This is sufficient in most cases. If that does not solve the problem take one dose Sulphur 200 or 1m. In fact interpolating one dose sulphur between any two doses of medicine in chronic cases helps but you have to know where not to use sulphur.
If that does not solve you have to find out if some miasm is obstructing . Specific medicines for these are Psorinum for psora, Syphillinum for syphillis, Thuja for vaccines, Thuja and Medorrhinum for sycosis and Tuberculinum for tuberculosis.
If that does not work you are not Sepia.

Great, thank you! I have ordered the 1M potency as 200c was what I was using already. Thanks for the advice. Is it common to need to jump to the next potency after delivery?

Update 4 days after taking Sepia 1M.

It's been 4 days since the 1M. Incidentally, prior to it arriving, I was feeling so angry all the time. I felt like it was majorly out of character for me. I realized I may have had an aggravation from the lower potency sepia if it wasn't working anymore, so I took a dose of pulsatilla to antidote. The difference qas amazing, I felt so much better. I took the 1M the next day and feel even better emotionally, although the physical symptoms are still there like headaches (although they're a little better) and constipation which is not better.

About 9 days in to the remedy now. Emotionally, the "high" is wearing off (also dealing with a cold) and have been a little more grumpy. Physically no changes.

Although I have been waking up at night around 3am and not being able to go back to sleep until 5am, which is not like me.

I was feeling pretty irritable and antisocial so I took another dose. Ended up getting an aggravation of mental/emotional symptoms ( doesn't seem to affect me physically one way or the other), so I antidotes with Pulsatilla. Felt much better afterwards, so I'm now wondering if I need to either dilute the 1M way more, or if I need a different remedy altogether. I read about a proving of Amyl Nitrate that made me wonder if it would be a good fit for me.

Sepia >pulsatilla sepia or pulsatilla. > sepia > pulsatilla are not permissible. If you want to antidote Sepia use Sulphur instead.
Another line is you may be Pulsatilla.

Also, here is why I took Pulsatilla to antidote:http://abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/409488/
The entry on Sepia on abchomeopathy does not list antidotes, so I had to do a search to find an entry in it.

Another thing is, I would like to know why the 1M dose of Sepia worked so well for about 3 or 4 days, and I felt great--and then the decline into being in the same state as I was before. Shouldn't a 1M work for longer than that? And if it did stop working, why did it cause an aggravation when I repeated it?

Looks like herbs worked for me this time around. I'm using a tea of blue vervain and oat tops and that's working well so far.

You are probably not sepia.you can test by taking a dose of Sulphur 30 or 200 and then taking Sepia 1M after 3 days. If you get good action you are sepia if not you need a different remedy.

I'd rather not, I already tried Sepia 200c, then antidoted it, then Sepia 1M several times, and antidoted it. I'm pretty sure I've exhausted the attempts to make it work and I'm not wanting any more aggravations. The herbs are helping a lot more than the homeopathy was, so I'm happy with them.
