Ok which one?

Hey everyone i'm going to go nuts!  I am tapering off of zoloft right now, because I don't think it is really doing much and I been so depressed ever since taking it for panic and anxiety.  Anyway I was thinking about trying Valerian or Kava Kava any suggestions?  Which one is best?

I am sorry that you are having a hard time with medications.  They tend to affect people in different ways sometimes.  I actually prefer Zoloft; while it put me a little bit on edge for the first couple of weeks, in the long term it really helped.  How fast is the doctor tapering you off of the med?  How long were you on it.  Be careful with 'natural supplements..'  They are not regulated by the FDA like prescription medications...keep us posted!

Never take Kava Kava. They are already starting to pull it off the market. Its found to cause kidney and Liver damage. Try St. Johns Wort if you wanna do it the natural way. It works the best.
