So many different things I'm starting to lose track. The latest was herbs. Skullcap passion flower and lemon balm. The skull cap made me sleepy I didn't really get any effect from Passion Flower or lemon balm. The way passion flower supposed to work is it actually blocks the regenerative process of Gaba going back into your system basically it clogs or shuts off the exit port so you have more Gaba in your system. I mentioned glycine because it is crucial in the production of Gaba and a lot of other neuro Connections in your system. You could add it gradually into your diet and see if you can get off or lower gradually the Valium that you're on. Like I said I've tried all kinds of different stuff. I just recently got off the Xanax and that was very very rough. Three nights of almost no sleep. Maybe an hour each night. Anxiety and insomnia is one of the most difficult things I've ever had to deal with. Honestly I think I slept better before the surgery. When I had all the stress. Until last night when I tried the glycine. I was also looking at inositol if the glassing didn't work. I also ordered some product from troscriptions.com, tro calm and tro zzz. I haven't received them yet I'm hoping I don't have to use them

Yeah, okay, so I see that you have been exploring your GABA options. I have also looked into supplements, to add to taper. Benzos supplant the regulatory processes of GABA receptors, hence the physiologic dependency. GABA's cover a huge range of biologic regulatory and metabolic systems. I have somewhere a list of those supplements, as yet my situation isn't stable enough to start a 1.5 year taper. Valium, is said to be the base benzo that those "in the know" take you down to in order to start a taper, which in the principal reason I have stuck with it, it has a long half-life.
It's nice to chat with you in that you're digging into the alternatives. I want to extend a resounding thank you! On that note, I found something interesting that I suspected about electrolytes, pee cloudiness, renal, muscle weakness, exertion exhaustion, etc. The search term hit me like a meatball so I typed it in. I'll put the link here, as many of us have taken antibiotics over the course of our treatments, when I found this, I made my own electrolyte solution and guess what? My urine runs clearly, since my last mention to you about cloudiness. Correlation? I don't know. But this paper makes sense about hypokalemia-

If the glycine didn't work.
