Seredyn
Hello everyone. I am new. I would like to get off of Paxil as painless as possible. I was looking on the internet and found a suppliment called "Seredyn". Has anyone here heard of it or is taking it for panic attacks? Can anyone tell me anything about it or any other natural suppliment that will assist me getting off of Paxil. FYI I just cut down to 15mg a day.

Re: Seredyn
Upon cursory examination through google, it looks like seredyn has the same active ingredient that Xanax has, which would make it a highly addictive benzo. Yikes! Beware! If your looking to get off of Paxil as painlessly as possible a 25% reduction in dose is not the best way to do it. 10% is a more reasonable reduction and even that is tough for some. Be sure you take a consistant daily dose and wait at least three weeks to taper again, possibly longer if you continue to have symptoms. If you would like to take supplements to make it easier, read our supplements section, particularly about magnesium and fish oil. I would stay far away from anything benzo-like unless you wanted to deal with a far more difficult withdrawal scenerio.
Welcome and best of luck!

Re: Seredyn
I agree, 10% cut is the way to go for success. A slow withdrawal is less severe, taking other drugs to get through the process may not even be an issue.

Re: Seredyn
Seredyn is l-theanine. I think this one has been discussed before, but for the life of me I can't find the thread!!!

Re: Seredyn
Katesmom THANK YOU sooo much. I definitely do not want to start taking anything else addicting. I will read more on the magnesium and fish oil. Oh and so far going down to 15mg I haven't had any withdrawl. Praise God!!!

Re: Seredyn
How can Seredyn have the same active ingredient as Xanax? L-theanine is not addictive...

Re: Seredyn
ACK!!!!! My bad! I went back through and looked at where I found that info and completely misread it! Ignore me completely, Pamela! Sorry! This is par for the course for today. Really, really worst birthday ever. . .

Re: Seredyn
Kim, there was another drug on the same page that came up on a google search for seredyn that had the same ingrediants as xanax. I saw that one too!
