Question:
Know of any natural alternatives to synthetic drugs?
other than st.john's wort?
planning to taper off antidepressants and antianxiety medication and looking for natural and healthy changes that are temporary (not like taking paxil for years and years).
Answers:
Natural alternatives often work slower than synthetic drugs but in most cases you avoid the nasty side effects like coughing, headaches and muscle aches, etc. Sometimes you may need to take more than one of the natural alternatives to get the required improvement.
As regards the particular problems that you are seeking to overcome, you could try a Yahoo search for depression (OR anxiety) + causes + treatment (OR cures OR remedies). Perhaps you could even shorten the long list of items that you are likely to get by adding + natural (or alternative).
