I've just checked out the ingredients of Seroctin. The only thing I see in there that is new to me is Zea Mays. It appears this formulation has an extract from Zea Mays (Maize Corn) and this is supposed to affect Serotonin.
I've tried Sceletium in fact I still have about 40 tablets left here. It didn't help me for anxiety. I got it from sceletium.com, so I'm sure it's a good brand.
I'm glad Seroctin seems to be working for you. I recently tried Lecithin and Omega oils and they worked definitely for a week or two. But now seem to have lost their effectiveness. A lot of things that work for anxiety seem to lose their effectiveness over time. I guess this is to do with feedback mechanisms in the brain.
SSRI's make me feel 10x worse, and with Sceletium not working I'm reluctant to try anything that affects Serotonin as this doesn't seem to be the cause of my anxiety.
Have you tried SSRI's? If so did they not work or have adverse affects? It's interesting to know if SSRI's didnt work for you yet Seroctin does. Then I might give it a try.
