Question: Should i wean off antidepressant like this?

I like the idea of taking natural supplements for depression and anxiety, but do not know the correct way to do it.

Can I start decreasing my dosage of lexapro very slowly while at the same time start to take 5 htp and/or kava kava....?

I really hope so because i really want to be on natural herbs instead of chemicals in pills...
Also, i am looking for something for add that i have...

Answers:

You can't do this without speaking to your doc.
I wouldn't get too hung up on only using 'natural herb'. Remember that cannabis, heroin, opium are all derived from 'natural plants' and you wouldn't take those, would you?

You need to discuss this with the doctor who prescribed the Lexapro. Personally, I think its a very good idea. But, I would be concerned about taking the natural supplements while weaning off the Lexapro. Check with your doctor to be certain they are safe together. You may need to wean off the Lexapro and then begin the homepathic meds.
