This is the 3rd time i've dealt with this disorder. I'm taking 25 mgs of paxil a day and 60 mgs of temazapam for sleep. Has anyone on the board ever had this? Does anyone know of a good way to increase seratonin levels with natural nutrition or vitamin suppliments? I just started taking a multi everyday.

ya, i have had this for about 6 years. what works best for me is to take 30mg of paxil. 400 mg of 5htp and 500mg of st.jouns wort a day.
plus getting alot of sunlight helps along with some KAVA KAVA every now and then

Last time it took 6 mos. on the Paxil to clear. It's only been 2 months so far and I want to try and fix the neurotransmitters quicker this time. I was reading up on the HTP-5 Tryp. Does this really work? i'll check out the St Johns Wort.
-
st john's wort-St. John's wort might work by preventing nerve cells in the brain from reabsorbing the chemical messenger serotonin
The paxil is a seratonin uplift reinhibitor,isn'that contradictory,although they say the article is not really sure how SJW really works.
-
seratonin uplift reinhibitor,
S.R.I. seratonin reuptake inhibitor

thanks .........right now i can't think straight

6 Months... :o. You must really be fucked up.
If it took that long to kick in I would ask the doc to up the doseage or change meds. Natural shit don't work. a good remedy for me was lifting, ECA stack and losing weight. Test is also a great remedy. I like weed too. And booze. Coffee. Might as well throw some pussy in there too.

St Johns wort won't do anything for ya if you're already prescribed Paxil or any kind of sedative like temazapan.....and alcohol will knock ya right off those paxils quick .......

just cowboy up and beat the shit.I took nothing for mine,just told myself to stop being a pussy...it worked

st johns wort is a mao inhibitor and targets more then serotonin. do not take st johns wort and an SSRI togther, you run the risk of serotonin syndrome which can be fatal.
for occasional relief you can try kava kava, valerian and melatonin to help your sleep.
5-htp is a precursor to serotonin and again dont take it with paxil as serotonin syndrome can occur(you can, but consult with your doctor).
i can give you some help if you were off the drug, i just came off celexa fro GAD, and am treating it naturally somewhat effectively.
there are alot of supplements that can help but your limited to sedatives in all honesty because of the ssri.
my honest advice, and the best advice you will get is to undergo CBT(cognitive behavioural therapy). i highly doubt that anxiety disorders are chemically induced, more so produced through maladaptive learned habitual thought patterns and behaviours. this type of therapy was found to be as effective as ssris in most studies, i can vouch for its effectiveness.
but for help with sleep try some melatonin and some valerian.
some supps you can take now that can be taken long term to help with the anxiety are bacopa monereri and ashwagandha and perhaps some rhodiola at low doses.
aniracetam would help as would phenibut. these supps have no effect on serotonin so your good to go. dont play with you serotonin while your on paxil, trust me serotonin syndrome is not fun.
also, if you do decide to come off the paxil, make sure you wean properly, the withdrawl syndrome from paxil is BRUTAL.

do you have any idea about the research? meds are not the answer to anxiety, im sorry therapy has much longer lasting results and they reverse engineer these drugs. they can pull you out of hard times i know that both through research and personal experience, but when you come off do to the sides, or weight gain or whatever, your back to square one.
depression and anxiety are easily treatable with correct therapy.
sam-e, st johns wort are drugs in europe with a ton of clinical backing. phenibut is a drug from russia that affect GABAergic receptors and is comparable to diazepam.
tell me what did you take, and how did you take it?

this post should be deleted, brutal advice, easy way to kill yourself with this combo no doubt.

Ativan is an excellent medication of insomnia and panic disorders but please remember that it is a Benzo and very addictive. i took some a while ago for insomnia and still take one every once in a while. But be careful with that stuff. there is a good thread on the Steroid and Hardcore board titled "sleep again" with some real good info about it.
definitely stick with the med's, theres nothing pussy about it. Anxiety and/or depression is just like any other illness and there are many treatments. There are so many different anti-anxiety / antidepressant medications that I'm sure there is one that can help.
-
Every now and again I take Valerian Dispert powder a natural product just to take the edge of.
If I really cant sleep I take a certain effervescent anti flu medication which knocks me out quickly.

i think diazepam is better then lorazepam for sleep with less addictive potential, although both are addictive.

how do these two interact? Im guessing its a rx for disaster

st johns wort has nothing to do with sedation , and alcohol and ssris arent really that bad of a mix.
-
why don't they have you on Ativan? ???
hey put me on xanax,but I only take .25 mg maybe once or twice a day.I want to get off everything eventually.
-
Xanax is no joke either. granted, .50 mg is a low dose, but if youre taking it everyday, you can and will build a tolerance for that stuff and that is a vicious habit to break.
So they got you on paxil, Xanax and temazepam? or did they replace the tem with the xan?

[/quoteI'm trying get off the Tem with Seraquel and then down the dosages. I hardly touch the xanax. The temazapam withdrawl sucks,but i can't sleep.
