I think I also read of others using it for that purpose on Kelly's SJW board. I'm not sure if we're allowed to name brands here so I'll give you the web site of Kelly's SJW forum (http://www.sjwinfo.org/). There are tons of posts there which list what are considered to be the three best brands. (BTW, Kelly is a male from Canada who started this forum many years ago in order to impart, and later exchange, info on SJW. No one is trying to sell you anything.) Also, you might want to check out the Alternative boards here at Psycho-Babble. They probably won't list any brands but they may have some posts about people using SJW for witdrawal from SSRIs.
Keep me posted as to how you're doing. I'll let you know if I run into any problems. Hopefully, it will be smooth sailing for both of us!
