Valerian or kava kava

[amandapinner]

Anyone ever taken these for anxiety? I'm going to start them tonight to wean off xanax

Just check I know valerian should not be used with some medications. 

[amandapinner in reply to Aazz]

Yes my Dr prescribed it all 😊

[amandapinner in reply to Aazz]

My Dr prescribed them all so I'm assuming it's safe

Taper carefully! And if need be have your doc transition you off Xanax using Valium. It's a pretty effective and well documented method. Good luck!

Hello

Not sure how long you have been taking these meds and I presume your Doctor has been prescribing them and I would strongly suggest that you ask for their advise how to come of them and wean yourself of them which can be done but always best with the Doctors supervision 

Good Luck and I hope you feel better now that you have decided these meds are not for you anymore once you have weaned of them

Take Care x

I've only been on xanax 2 months and my neuro would rather me take the natural stuff and get off of the xanax

Hello

Well just check how they would like you to stop taking them and if you need to taper etc ...well I would ask if it were me x

[amandapinner in reply to Hidden]

Yes I definitely asked, I ask about everything lol he told me to just split my .5 mg pill in half for now and see how I feel

[Hidden in reply to amandapinner]

Well fingers crossed you will be fine x
