Can Ashwagandha And Tagara Be Taken Together For Anxiety, Insomnia And Panic Attacks?
Hi, I m trying to get through anxiety, insomnia and occasional panic attacks, all of which are probably linked to peri-menopause. I ve been occasionally taking diazepam or alprazolam, but I m scared of getting addicted to them. I have also found that Ashwagandha keeps me calm during the day but doesn t help with the heightened anxiety/ panic that hits me in the morning or with insomnia. I ve read that Tagara is a great herbal anti-depressant and can help insomnia. Can you tell me if Ashwagandha and Tagara can be taken together, or can you suggest any other effective and non-addictive anti-anxiety medication?

These are not effective for these symptoms . these medications have only placebo effect .paroxetine CR 12.5 mg or 25 mg may be taken for these symptoms.Paroxetine is SSRI and patients are not addicted to paroxetine .
