I'm Manjunath 50 years old now. During August 2015 (at age of 47), mistakenly took stevia leaf, I assuming fresh green tea leaf dried and packed. Boiled with ginger, sugar N lemon for 20min had 1/2 cup. Not even completed 1/2, suddenly felt vomiting sensation, the whole body became pale color, the whole body started shaking, severe vomiting sensation, but vomiting not coming out. unable to tolerate the sound even person speak, fear, shocking, unable to walk.

Admitted to Intensive care and many times admitted to emergency due to severe panic attack, high blood pressure & fear. Finally, Dr said severe anxiety caused.

Later visited Psychiatric & Neurologist as per the Dr advice. Dr diagnosed the problem after blood test and said severe anxiety caused by a reduction of serotonin in the brain, Neuro Transmitters are damaged due to Stevia Neurotoxic leaf. Dr said asked me why did u take raw stevia leaf when the whole world is banned Stevia Raw leaf and extracts except Japan govt.

Took medication for 6 weeks & recovered, Dr stopped medication From Oct 2015. After Oct 2015 started heart palpitations due to panic or side effects of drugs. Admitted more 8-9 times on different days due to palpitation and anxiety.

From last month onwards I have dizziness so checked with Dr again suggested ECG, Echocardiology & blood test. All reports are showing normal but SYS pressure goes to 165 to 185 and DIA reaches some time to 90 -100. Dr provided the medicines to continue. Yday started and today took medicine, today again SYS & DIA reached to 185 and 92 respectively. Again ECG and blood test have done were observed the electrolyte increase to 16 (normal is 14), Dr suspected Stress causing anxiety causing panic, panic causing to increase hypertension.

I did not have anxiety or panic disorder before stevia leaf juice drink or don't have a family history. All the problems started after taking stevia leaf juice.

How to get rid of anxiety, panic, and hypertension. Please help me if you are successfully get ridden the anxiety without a medicine.

Hi ManjunathBasappa. I read your comment above. I to have been experiencing hi anxiety and have been using stevia for years. After reading your post I am wondering if it is part of my problem. I am going to cut it from my diet and see how I feel. How are you doing now? Have you recovered?
