I've posted on another thread that I'm about to make the switch to a natural herb. This may end up be a crazy pipe dream of mine that will never come to fruition but I'm giving it a try!

I'm down to 5 mg. of Lexapro a day. I'll stay there through Friday at which point I will start Nevatron which contains St. John's Wart and other herbs. I'll then go down to 2.5 mgs. of the Lexapro for several more days.

Anyone heard of Nevatron? I'd be interested to hear from someone that has tried. I'll keep you all posted!! Wish me luck. :-)

Oh boy, I'm on the third day of 1/2 my prescribed dose of Lexapro. Yowza, have I come alive again!! I'm excited and worried about it at the same time. I've been emotional but in sort of a positive way, if that makes any sense. I've gotten teary-eyed when I was happy for a friend about her new relationship which made me feel I wasn't so numb anymore. However, I feel some of my fiestiness coming back and I'm not sure if that's good or bad yet. I used to be a super type A personality and considered a fireball by most. Since on Lexpro I've really toned down. This was good for my homelife but it made me feel like I didn't have ANY emotions anymore. I couldn't get excited and energetic about things that I normally would.

 I'm going to stick w/ my plan though and see how it goes.

Have you discussed this with your doctor? They should know what you are doing.

Good luck on the change.   :-)

Uhhh...don't have a doctor anymore and I don't want one, frankly. I was only seeing him for meds anyway and he stopped taking my insurance. My goal is to get off all synthetic drugs, if possible, and that is certainly not supportive by most MDs.

Thanks, Levon!!

At one point and time, I lost my health insurance and I began taking St John's Wort, because I know that I need something medication-wise. I can't say that it made me feel 100 percent better, but I know that it definitely helped. I've never heard of Nevatron, but I hope that it is the answer you're looking for. Good luck, and post back later. I'm interested to find out if it works for you.

I too have not heard of Nevatron.  Years ago when I was inbetween antidepressants and also tired of taking presription drugs for my depression I tried St. John's Wart...I didnt see any significant differance.

But everyone is differant and things to work differant for each of us.  I hope this works for you.  Please keep us posted :-)

eyes  Riley Mo, just wondering how things are going for you and if you have started with the Neratron?  My daughter has tried St Johns  Wort on different occassions, I don't really think she took it long enough to get a good idea of how it could work for her.  Best to you and keep in touch to let us all know how it is working!!
