I suffer reactive hypoglycemia, I lost about 20% of my hearing in my right ear and I was diagnosed with Chron’s decease and later told that was a severe infection in the final portion of the small intestine called Ilium, I’m 31 years old I have no prior symptoms of anxiety and I was searching and found that this may cause or trigger the attacks, has anyone heard about seredyn to end the attacks.

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.
There are mixed reviews about in on Amazon:
