A member asked:
Last week started shifting from ssri (cipralex) to inositol due to weight gain but started to feel anxious and negative thoughts attacked is normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal but...: Inositol can be helpful for anxiety but research shows you need a dose of 12 grams a day. Ssri withdrawal can cause your current symptoms- best to taper slowly with help from your doc. Inositol may not be enough- other treatments like 5-htp, st. John's wort, holy basil, ashwagandha, b vits., meditation & homeopathy might help.It's best to work with a holistic doctor knowledgeable in these matters.
