Natural alternative to help withdrawal SE's

Posted by Wildflower on November 24, 2003, at 14:06:59

Any advice on what I can take to alleviate the lightheadedness I'm experiencing from lexapro withdrawal? I've decided to take myself off the med almost cold turkey. Yes, I know it's not the best way but I just couldn't take it anymore...

Dr. Healy (sp?), an outspoken Welsh psychopharmacologist, suggests St. John's wort can be used to lessen withrawal effects from SSRI meds.

Thanks Larry!

I hate to ask but does Sam-e have withdrawal effects too?

The only way I could imagine it does would be if you're innately deficient in it, which would mean you shouldn't go off it...
