i havent got any withdrawls symptons yet? i feel better

Lots of people take those two together -- it's very common.  That doesn't cause the brain shocks, withdrawal does.  Taking it every other day isn't a taper, that just throws you into withdrawal every other day.  Please, talk to your psychiatrist.  Don't be stubborn, or in a hurry.  SAMe is for depression, not anxiety; 5htp is for both, but you can't take either if you're on an ssri as they both affect serotonin.  A six week taper is best, and if that's too fast, you go slower.  Why suffer more?

yea am going to take my med every otehr day for a week then everry otehr 3 days, i cant belive i took xanax and zoloft.

Make sure you were entirly free of the effects of The meds you were on, before taking 5HTP and no I doubt it would stop the brain zaps. as we have said see your Doctor and ask him how to wean off them as you will be very sick.

if 5htp can cure brain shivers or any sympton with the brain i would buy it, if not then i dont want to bother

were can you get these medication you were talking about?  i have to stop cold turkey, i cant be a pill popin animal anymore :(
i hear merijuana can help, but idk about that shot.

Still would encourage you to taper under the care of a psychiatrist.  The brain zaps and other things are classic withdrawal symptoms, so you might have missed doses or something, I really don't know, but you should be careful about this.  If you've been on Xanax a long time, it can cause seizures to quit suddenly, and Zoloft withdrawal can be pretty bad and it sounds like you're already suffering some of the symptoms for some reason.  Talk to your psychiatrist and taper slowly.

Well dont do it cold turkey I expect you know that... you have to ween off slowly my daughter went through this and she still gets tinnatus .I do agree that they dont help everyone but ease off for your own sake. There are some supplements may help you ,5HTP can help once you are clear of all the effects of the meds you were prescribed, also Sam -E is another that can help with mood.,used a lot in Europe,you can google both of these anf they tell you all about them both get good reviews .

i was also taking omega 3 fish oil 3times a day and alos b12 vitamin once a day and it came from nowere, so am pretty much stopping everything starting today. i use  get the brain shivers when i tried to get of zoloft, but now it still happens while am on my medicine. kinda scares me and leads me into depression.

I know you can get what seems to be known as brain Zaps ,almost like an electric jolt it is usually associated with with- drawing too quickly from the anxiety meds, especially xanax, are you taking anything else any supplements anything differant.

no am starting tomorrow wihtout he medication, i been taking xanax .25mg and zoloft 50mg every day for a few years, and now am starting to have weird brain shock symptons. am not sure if its from the medicine becouse why is it feeling like this now? 4 weeks ago i had the strangest week, i feelt druged up and high and could walk or drive? so am quiting everything, am 20 years old, i dont need medicine in my life to help me.

Did you just quit the Zoloft?  It sounds like withdrawal to me.  Tell us more about how long ago you discontinued these medications.  In the meantime, if you did just quit the Zoloft, and if what you're experiencing is intolerable, go back on it at the last dose that didn't give you bad symptoms, and taper off more slowly.  And try taking a good healthy dose of fish oil each day, it might help with the zaps.
