Katyripp67: Getting ready to taper

[Katyripp67]

Hello I am on several psych drugs including Celexa (antidepressant), Seroquel (antipsychotic), Depakote (anti-seizure, never had a seizure in my life), and Klonopin for anxiety. These meds are making my life a living hell with the side effects. Clueless as to which one I should start tapering first any advice would be greatly appreciated.

We don't suggest a lot of supplements on here as most members have sensitized nervous systems from tapering. We do suggest 2. If would like to try one at a time, at a small amount, wait a few days before trying the other.
