substitute for zoloft

Heeellllp! I have been on zoloft for several years and tried to go off it several times. I always end up going back because of anxiety and symptoms called the 'zaps'. I am really determined this time and I think that homeopathics may make all the difference. Any suggestions of what I should take? something really effective?!!!

Thx

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Although I'm sure there are other options you can try. As someone who used to be on zoloft and depakote and many other meds I would like to suggest to you checking your diet and intake of various toxins and along with meditation/counseling also please look into L-Theanine.

I posted just before you about my experience with L-Theanine. I was amazed at how well it worked and so quickly. Of course I have been off of meds for a long time so they were well cleared out of my body before using the L-Theanine.

Google the name. You will find some interesting information about it. Its natural and doesn't cure the problems you have but does allow you to have a calm and clear head to deal with the issues you may struggle with.

Thanks so much for the info. I will look into it.
As for the diet my family and I have gone almost totally organic in the last year (which is why I am trying this again) but I know there is always room for improvement!
I am training to be a certified yoga instructor so I do have some meditation time.
I can't wait to find out more about this, I am ok w/ it not curing my problems I just want to not FREAK out on my kids during this transition time. Like you I hope to be off everything after a while.
Thanks again!!!!

Oh how wonderful. you sound like you have a very good foundation to push off from. Let me know how the L-theanine works for you if you decide to try it. Or if you do find some other helpful method to get off meds Im always interested.
