In reply to L-tyrosine, DL-pheylalanine or SAMe for anxiety, posted by DaOrlando on November 10, 2005, at 7:41:52
I will be trying these right along side of you. I've been weaning down lexapro now at 5mg and zyprexa now at 1.25mg. I will have to cross taper onto something else. I think L-phenylalanine is first up, 5htp second, SAMe last. I've tried SAMe one day at a time several times recently, at just 25mg, and found it just skyrocketed anxiety. So I'm a little shy of that one. Low dose st johns wort is on my radar screen, since it worked so well for me in the past. Low dose sjw is amazing for anxiety. At pubmed there are a couple studies showing gingko biloba has mild antianxiety effects, and of course there is always low dose kava kava. The land of alternatives is just as complicated as pharmaceuticals. Darn.
