hi  guys,
i've been trying to get my girlfriend to come off the xanax...  she
was previously on buspar... and i think i'm finally starting to  get
thru to her (cuz she's starting to realize that taking them  nearly
every day can't be good) and i was wondering if anyone could  recommend
an alternative approach to these sorts of issues... most of  the
products that i have seen have either B-vitamins or herbs such  as
passion flower, valerian, kava,  etc....
TIA!!!


Hi dc
Firstly, having just spent one and a half years coming off Seroxat I would  
like to commend you for encouraging your friend to leave these things behind.  
They really are danggerous.
A good group for help with withdrawal (and withdrawal there certainly can  
be) is withdrawal and recovery @ yahoogroups.com.
Your friend miht possibly have adrenal issues or thyroid issues or both,  
depending on the reason she is taking these drugs so I would look into that if  
it is relevant. I have a questionnaire I can forward to you to assess the  
possibility and degree of adrenal stress if you feel it would be useful.
The Emotional Freedom Technique and Z-Point are two modalities that are  free 
and very useful. _www.emofree.com_ (http://www.emofree.com)  and  
_www.ZPprocess.com_ (http://www.ZPprocess.com)  - hope I got those  addys right.
