I've begun taking a combination from Source Natuals called "Theanine Serene". It has GABA (useless), magnesium,theanine and valerian. There is no bad odor at all. I wouldn't wish Benzos on anyone, but have you thought of asking you're MD for some Atavan or something to help you get through this??? Are you getting counselling at all?

> As far as the DLPA I take 500 mgs. in the morning with the acompaning supplements. About a half hour later I follow that up with 5 mgs. of Selegiline and 5 mgs. of Vinpocetine. Throughout the day i take Theanine Serene as needed, I'm going through one of the most stressful times in my life, I'm growing like a milk thistle weed!!

I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life.

>Hi,
Effexor withdrawal may play into it but I've always had terrible anxiety problems when I'm not on any medication. Combine that with the stresses in my life right now and you have a recipee for disaster.
I have Xanax at home but I've only taken it once. I really don't want to go that route unless it's absolutely necessary. The doxepin has been working well so I thought it wouldn't be necessary. Anyway, I'll look into the theanine serine.
Thanks for the advice and the prayer.
