Taking 10 mg nexito for the last 2 years. Would like to withdraw it by tapering and replacing with brahmi and ashwagandha. Please suggest.

Question

You have not mentioned your symptoms for which you were prescribed medications. You should consult your treating doctor before deciding to shift to another pathy. Also I would not recommend to go to suppliments with no on paper proven scientific evidence when another safer and scientifically proven medication is already working for you.

Hello, greetings from your ayurveda wellness coach. As you are possible suffering from loss of sleep and anxiety problems. There are very good chances that your problem can be resolved easily. Withdrawing or titrating the dosage of allopathy is the better idea and I strongly recommend you to meet your allopath doctor for reduced or modified dosages when it comes to allopath medicines. Coming to the ayurveda medicines, yes, these bramhi and ashwagandha are good to have it. Initially it is better to use in the form of powders. 1/2 teaspoon of each brahmi and ashwagandha can be used internally along with milk at bed time. If you have further doubts, please feel free to contact me. Thanks and regards.

Hello. Before withdrawing nexito you should ask your treating psychiatrist. Ideally nexito should continue atleast 6 months after the complete stoppage of anxiety or depressive symptoms. Also there are no studies which compares the interaction between brahmi, ashwagandha and nexito. U may take ayurvedic medicine along with nexito. The effects of ayurvedic medicine are still yet to be proved.
