Vonnegutjunky Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 So I recently lost some weight, I equate it to using truvia instead of sugar, it's a sugar alcohol but it also has stevia in it anyway I use it in my iced tea that I make at home- well I noticed each time I drink a glass I get a lot of anxiety, I initially thought it was the caffeine in the tea causing it, but coffee and pop do not cause the same reaction, well I started digging and I found this - and I just wanted to share this with everyone else - and warn people about stevia -- this is pretty scary imo - it causes a reduction in dopamine and serotonin, like it can cross the blood brain barrier and directly affect the areas of the brain we are trying to heal!!! http://www.livestrong.com/article/477769-stevia-side-effects-nervous-system-psychological/ *Currently at 8.2-8.5 mg of my 10mg pill of Paxil (they actually weigh 12.5mg) january 2023 I began reducing my med again. I was a 9mg weight for years, I went to 8.9 in January, went to 8.6mg in February, and in March 2023 I went down to 8.5-8.2 mg ( my scale varies, so I stick within that .3 range because of that) *No other supplements or vitamins *Taper schedule in the pdf Blank.pdf https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-5vShtJtwAOGA30OxIP87steLmMdFzD29F0fzAPD564 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
