Have you tried activated charcoal before?
It's still the excess serotonin that's involved in panic. Have you tried a 5-HT1A agonist, such as zinc perhaps?
Perhaps by increasing noradrenaline too much. The dopamine itself can also be converted to noradrenaline in the presence of excess copper, and the noradrenaline can then be overly converted to adrenaline in overmethylators.
i have never heard about active charcoal what is that about? i tried 2 days off of my effexor and it did make me worse. i was more twitchy and basically freeking out. so now im back taking it. wouldnt a 5-HT1A agonist only make more seratonin tho? and lead to more issues? or is an agonist something that blocks seratonin? i might have the definition of agonist wrong. i do have brittle hair and skin zinc might me something to try or just go gong ho and try t3 supplimenting but thats going to be hard to convince a doctor. my first ssri did work and helped mood alot. its hard to say and figure out if to much seratonin in my case is the problem. over time my body and brain im sure gets used to the effexor and stops making synapes and dendrites to compensate for the the SSRI adding to your body. so eventually its a matter of time until an ssri stops working or you have to up the dose. i did try zoloft months back for 4 weeks and honestly it did help a little. i stopped it tho to try some natural alternatives without much luck. but if the anti anxiety and anti depression effect is from pregnenlone in the antidepressants than shouldnt i be able to suppliment with just pregnenlone 50 mgs and it basically working just like an SSRI? maybe doing the opposite like taking wellbutrin would be the answer for me? maybe thats the area of my brain that needs addressing...
