anxiety and depression

[Guest guest]

Has she tried 5-HTP? I tried it for migraines, but it's also used for

depression because it raises seratonin.

 

 

 

I didn't need it for mood, but I did notice after a few weeks on it that I

was more easygoing, wasn't getting upset about things that usually would bug

me.

 

 

 

However if any of her meds raise seratonin, probably shouldn't take at same

time, because could lead to  " seratonin syndrome. "

My mom is struggling with severe anxiety and depression, and is being treated

with a number of medications right now: Wellbutrin SR 200 mg, Xanax, Seroquel,

Haldol, and Temazepam (for sleep). She does not seem to be improving although

prior to being put on these medications she was suicidal.

 

How does one transition safely off these medications onto more natural methods

of treating anxiety/depression? Is there anything she can use WHILE being on

them? I know there are several herbs that conflict with these medications.

 

Any advice appreciated.
