Hey there. Sounds like you have alot going on right now, and I hope that you can find some relief soon. As you mentioned in your question, medical issues and illnesses CAN cause anxiety and panic attacks, and so can some genetic and social factors. It sounds like you could benefit from some counseling, to give you some support as you manage your illnesses, but also to check in with your anxiety symptoms. I have heard of the seredyn drug before, but not as much as I have heard about Ativan, Zoloft, Seroquel, or Wellbutrin for anxiety symptoms and panic attacks. Defintely talk with your doctor, and perhaps a counselor, just to get some extra support and some answers to your question.

I am so sorry that you are suffering. I can tell you that the infection in the ilium will go away with antibiotics and that will be well. I am sorry about the Chron’s disease. But panic attacks are caused by the subconsious mind something that you see, hear or smell causes a trigger, a subconsious reminder of a traumatic incident usually in childhood that you conscious mind was unable to deal with properly. There are many safe medications that will stop panic attacks. Please take care of yourself!!

If* at first the Illium Infection seemed similar to Crohn’s then I’m guessing your physical symptoms were similar as well. If so, isolation, possible food restrictions, embarrassment and anxiety *can* all severely alter your life. If the attacks are more ’situational,’ Attivan or something along that line could help – maybe even 10mg of atarax or 10mg propranolol when you feel an attack coming on: ask your doc .
Seredyn is an herbal supplement the contains l-theanine, passion flower extract, valerian, niacinamide, & magnesium taurinate. At current there are no clinical studies that support it effectiveness in treating anxiety.
L-theanine is an amino acid found in green or black tea clinically proven to increase transmission of serotonin, dopamine & GABA, which all help to ease anxiety. It also has neuroprotective and tumor inhibiting properties. Whether Seredyn has enough L-theanine to be effective and/or whether it will work for you is debateable.
Passion Flower contains alkaloids that function as MAOI’s which may or may not be effective, and will most likely not cause any adverse side effects.
Valerian is an herb that contains chemicals shown to increase GABAergic transmission. Increased GABAergic transmission from prescription medications (i.e. benzodiazepines) is generally the most effective form of treatment for severe anxiety.
Even though the efficacy of Valerian in treating anxiety disorders has been disputed. The results of clinical trials involving Valerian have been mixed and are inconclusive. I find valerian tea soothing and relaxing (I use about 6 bags at a time though)
The last two ingredients are a vitamin and mineral.

Causes
Like many other mental health conditions, social anxiety disorder likely arises from a complex interaction of environment and genes. Researchers continue to study possible causes, including:
?Genes. Researchers are seeking out specific genes that play a role in anxiety and fear. Social anxiety disorder seems to run in families. But it’s not clear whether that hereditary component is related to genetics or to anxious behavior you learn from other family members.
?Biochemistry. Researchers are exploring the idea that natural chemicals in your body may play a role in social anxiety disorder. For instance, an imbalance in the brain chemical serotonin (ser-oh-TOE-nin) could be a factor. Serotonin, a neurotransmitter, helps regulate mood and emotions, among other things. People with social anxiety disorder may be extra-sensitive to the effects of serotonin.
?Fear responses. Some research suggests that a structure in the brain called the amygdala (uh-MIG-duh-luh) may play a role in controlling the fear response. People who have an overactive amygdala may have a heightened fear response, causing increased anxiety in social situations.
Risk factors
Social anxiety disorder is one of the most common of all mental disorders. Up to 13 percent of people in Western countries experience social anxiety disorder at some point in their lives. Social anxiety disorder usually begins in the early to midteens, although it can sometimes begin earlier in childhood or in adulthood.
A number of factors can increase the risk of developing social anxiety disorder, including:
?Your ***. About twice as many women as men have social anxiety disorder.
?Family history. Some research indicates that you’re more likely to develop social anxiety disorder if your biological parents or siblings have the condition.
?Environment. Some experts theorize that social anxiety disorder is a learned behavior. That is, you may develop the condition after witnessing the anxious behavior of others. In addition, there may be an association between social anxiety disorder and parents who are more controlling or protective of their children.
?Negative experiences. Children who experience teasing, bullying, rejection, ridicule or humiliation may be more prone to social anxiety disorder. In addition, other negative events in life, such as family conflict or sexual abuse, may be associated with social anxiety disorder.
?Temperament. Children who are shy, timid, withdrawn or restrained when facing new situations or people may be at greater risk.
?New social or work demands. Meeting new people, giving a speech in public or making an important work presentation may trigger social anxiety disorder symptoms for the first time. These symptoms usually have their roots in adolescence, however.
