I want to get off cipralex but even though I'm already on a very small dose (10mg once a day) I got severe brain zaps after 3 days of being off them. Literally every 5-10 seconds these brain zaps were happening and it was so uncomfortable that I had to give in and take a pill. Cipralex works great for me, however it makes it too hard to wake up in the morning and I often show up to work with wet hair because I sleep through my alarm. Also, I've cut all sources of fluoride from my water to my toothpaste, and just found out that cipralex contains fluoride, which probably explains the sleepiness and sedating emotions/feeling of numbness. Since I'm on a low dose, and discontinuation is too severe to bare, I'm wondering if I can start taking St. John's Wort immediately after stopping the Cipralex (two days later, before the brain zaps start happening). Would it be safe? Would it help to prevent the brain zaps? Also, could I take kava immediately as well, for my anxiety?
