Acupuncture has worked wonders for me in the past and is great for anxiety, fatigue, and all the other fun stuff that can come from going off meds. Unfortunately, it can be pricey ($50-$80 per session) and my insurance doesn't yet recognize the benefits of a practice that was in use in China when my forebears were living in caves without enough sense to rub two sticks together to make fire. However, it does cover all manner of brain altering chemicals. That's how I got to Lexapro. I'd give it a try, along with the herbal supplements/tea (which should be offered at a nominal cost). I swear that I was inches from filing disability due to asthma when I first had acupuncture and four months later I was asthma free; this, after 30 years of traditional treatment.
