Hi!
I am taking 5 mg Lexapro (weaned off 10 mg. 5 months ago) and when i tried to cut down more than 5mg i felt very terribly bad, a lot of anxiety, insecurity, inability to do things, to relate to people etc.
I am going to a doctor who knows about ortomolecular suplemments and he gaves me:1)St johns wort (1 morning and 1 lunch)
2)5-htp (at night)
3)Calcium/magnesium Valerian (3 day)
4)Omega 3 fish oils (3 day 450 mg each)I am following this regime for 1 week and i feel less anxious althoug with depressed feelings sometimes.
I have to visit him in one week. i hope i could wean off completely of this drug that helped me in the short time but created more trouble in the long run with this regime of suplemments.I would like to comment with other people trying to substitute LExapro or other SSRI with natural suplemments
