Topamax and Xanax

[Guest]

Hi Dr. Garcia;

I am presently taking Xanaz XR 1 mg once per day, as well as Lexapro 10mg once per day. Will this interfere with me taking Kudzu and Calm Forte? I think I could possibly quit taking the Xanax if needed. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Topamax and Xanax

Hi.

Calms Forte is a homeopathic remedy and blends with other products. It works to remind the body to calm itself without overpowering the system. Xanax may need to be slowly titrated off even though you are on a low dose. People often have symptoms when going off Xanax suddenly so I would go very slowly here.

Kudzu has been used in Chinese Medicine since 200BC for a variety of treatments including alcoholism and the common cold. It appears safe and the National Institute of Health is conducting further studies.

I recommend that you work with your health practitioner while you do this so that any issues could be evaluated early on.
