Supplements to take while weaning off anti depressant

[Holly J]

Hello. I was wondering if any of you who weaned off anti depressants took any supplements to help combat the withdraws. I heard fish oil but thats all I really know. Your replies would be appreciated.

Hi Holly,

This is a great question! I, like many of you work very hard to help my body stay in a healthy, calm place. I always take a multi-vitamin, fish oil and probiotic. When I was coming off of meds I made sure I drank lots of water, used my relaxation cd and got my exercise in. It's important we under-react to any body sensations we have when coming off of meds. I had some interesting head sensations coming off of paxil and it was key for me to be able to float through that, under-react and keep my peace. Stress Center Naturals has a multi-vitamin and a sleep and relaxation product that many of us have used. Lucinda and Dr. Fisher developed it together. You can contact customer service if you want to try a free trial. 1-800-944-9460

Keep us posted. It is great to hear your progress.

Thank you so much for your response Chris. WHen you were coming off paxil did you also get depression? I am so scared of getting depressed as a withdraw.

No depression. Drank lots of water, exercised, under-reacted and stayed positive Hugs!

I have those supplements from StressCenter, however, my doctor doesn't want me to take them because he thinks they could upset my stomach( I've had stomach problems in the past). I would really like to try them, but I guess that I shouldn't go against my doctor's suggestion. I'm also on zoloft so I'm not sure if there would be a bad reaction. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

A lot of people do have to take their supplements with food. I have a sensitive stomach and always take mine with food. We always recommend you follow your physician's directives. Maybe just doing the fish oil and a b-complex would be a good place to start. Probiotics are very helpful too to have a healthy gut. A lot of our neurotransmitters are made in the gut so the healthier the better!

Hope this helps.
