In reply to effexor free, now what?, posted by jenn007 on September 10, 2004, at 10:50:59

> I have been off my effexor for almost a month now (i forgot how long, but i think that is about right)... i am so glad the side effects are gone, but is there anything natural i can try for the same effects? I dont know a lot about SJW or other stuff, but i am wanting to find info and try it out... I know most of you know all about the AD's and other options, so any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks....jenn

Hi Jenn,

What sort of symptoms are you trying to treat now that Effexor has left the building?

'Natural' things like SJW still contain drugs, the active parts of SJW is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, it's just not a terribly effective one. Unfortunately, the better a drug works, the worse the side effects are going to be. I am trying to taper off of Effexor too, but I will probably always take a low dose of a sedating TCA because they improve my sleep incredibly well.

Cheers,
Paul.
