Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 I have used prozac but not for a long time, however i was on other anti depressants I have no withdraw symtoms. What i am taking now is 3000 mgs of vitimin C, also cottage cheese and flaxseed oil is another good thing to take. Use you own judgement but it did work for me. The cottage cheese and falxseed and be found on the net ..........

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Sorry about your problems. I was on welbutrin sr which is a lower powered antidepressant. anyway, I found it best to exercise and keep a well balanced diet. it was very tough, but my nerves are better since i got off of the antidepressants. Make sure you get plenty of sleep. that helps alot. hope this helps. Herbs are great and they help alot, but for withdrawing from an antidepressant, i wouldn't try to mix it with a herb. My sister robin was on paxil which is just as strong and she did fine withdrawing from it. take care and have a nice day.

I highly recommend it. Its been suggested to me from several different cultural traditions that when trying to do something major to have an Elder, medical someone, guru, spiritual guide, or at least some very good friends whose opinions I trust to let me know if I was " going off the deep end " with something. I would imagine whatever therapy you'd use to make your transition from what ever drug you were on would depend on the expertise of who ever was personally supervising your process.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Hi Samantha, I've never taken Prozac or any other such medication, but have helped someone withdraw from them. In my opinion, ensure gradual withdrawal. Reduce your dosage step by step. This is especially important if you've been taking it for some time. And yes, have a friend help you through this. It's important to have someone you trust to talk to, to help you over any humps and barriers. Improve your diet to include at least some raw foods, and as much organic as you can do. Take Total Nutrition daily. Ensuring optimum nutrition is very important to you being able to handle the withdrawal physically as well as mentally. Once you've withdrawn totally, I'd suggest a Total Body Cleanse to get rid of any residue in your body, as well as reverse any damage the Prozac may have caused your organs. love Lisa - Samantha herbal remedies Friday, April 22, 2005 11:16 PM Herbal Remedies - antidepressant withdrawal I am in the process of withdrawaling from Prozac, and was wondering if anyone had done this and what hebs or other ways helps with this and how you felt after off the meds and only on natural remedies>????Samantha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Oh, one more suggestion: take a walk every day. And while you're doing that, ensure that you look around at your environment, at things you see around you, until you feel better/more extrovert. This is a great help!! love Lisa - Lisa de Haas herbal remedies Saturday, April 23, 2005 9:19 AM Re: Herbal Remedies - antidepressant withdrawal Hi Samantha, I've never taken Prozac or any other such medication, but have helped someone withdraw from them.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Hello, I can sympathise, I weaned myself off of antidepressents a few years ago before they put me back on a low dose Celexa.. and wich I havent been on now for a little over two years. I think they try to put everyone on it that comes into their office. I found out most of what I am feeling and crying alot is normal for parents of Babies and toddlers and small children, or any age for that matter I am sure. But I notice from a playgroup I went to - alot of moms said the doctors were trying to get them on antidepressants as well. I posted a few years ago on the net about the horrible withdrawals I was going through from antidepressents. I will see if I can find it. for you to read. Best regards and sending you a hug.
