As my previous post said, I'm taking zoloft but I want to wean off of it. No medications seem to work. I've tried lexapro, pristiq, zoloft and another I can't seem to remember. I would love to find a natural supplement that helps with anxiety. I heard fish oil, has anyone had luck with that or anything else?

In the past I have tried 5HTP, it works ok. It is expensive stuff. I am also in the weaning process it is rough. Drinking chamomile tea currently which helps.

Thank you for your incite. I will try that supplement for sure.

Are you weaning off of zoloft? Hear you have to be on it for 9-months to do so... I'm scared of the withdraw symptoms too. What have you been experiencing?

Good luck to you!

Yes, Zoloft - I was taking Lexapro before but changed due to weight gain. I have been on it for a year. Honestly, the anxiety is back but not uncontrollable. I just want off the drugs. The research I have done shows me that the side effects could cause more issues than just anxiety in the long term.

Yea I believe the bad outweighs the good for me too at times.

Thanks for sharing!
