Hi,
I am totally new to this site, and just happened to stumble onto it while researching natural alternatives to my synthetic meds.: Effexor XR, Xanax, & Geodon. So i thought i would join ya'll and see what the sites all about. I am on 225mg of Effexor, but as high as 375mg., the worst side effects for me are: sweating, insomnia, dry mouth - so i carry a glass of water literally everywhere i go, decrease in libido and still have anxiety. I take a 2mg Xanax XR in am, an 80mg. Geodon at night, Provigil 100mg-200mg to get me up in the am and Seroquel 50-100mg to knock me out to sleep at night. I have alot of trouble with racing thoughts which makes it almost impossible to sleep. Does anybody out there relate to what i'm experiencing? I have been on my meds over 3 yrs. now, although i'm better than i was i can't help but wonder are there natural herbal replacements. If anybody knows of some credible sights on the matter, please post them for me.
On the personal side, i'm a divorced mother of 2 happily married girls and 1 grandson. I do have an immediate support room mate/friend that has been there alot for me. Anxiously awaiting any replys to help in my research.
Thanks,
