Anyone found anything that helped this brutal condition so you could have any sort of life again? I am on 8 different Benzo withdrawal sites including benzo buddies and found zero help!

I have been looking for 2 years. No help from local does or neurologists that we traveled 5 hours to see who were really brilliant but refused to read any information given to the on prolonged benzo withdrawal syndrome. Wickepedia , under prolonged benzo withdrawal syndrome,has a fair amount of info. I just today discovered that hydrocodone works on the MU receptors so my husband can use it for muscle ( fasciculations, spasms)and bone pain. He had many other symptoms but he needs something for pain and this works. He had been on a prescription NSAIDS for arthritis and I discovered a year into his withdrawal symptoms that you can not take NSAIDS. Today I found out that any medication, herb, drink, food or supplement that attaches to the GABAreceptor site will worsen the withdrawal symptoms, so that means no caffeine, alcohol,vitamin B or D, magnesium, no anti depressants, also there is a group of antibiotics,Cipro is part of that group, that will intereact poorly on any one who is on benzos or in withdrawal symptoms from them. I hope this can be of help to you. Good luck.

The only thing is to not put anything in your body that stimulate the GABA receptors. No caffiene alcohol sugar sucralose aspartame gabonza beans monounsodium glutamate. This may not be a complete list. MSG is in anything that is processed. Anything boxed or canned. Fresh or frozen. Check out keto and paleo diet. I promise this helps.

I've had to learn to live with uncomfortableness. Christian mindfulness meditation saved my life.(U-tube) Exercise every day helps. I walk or ride stationary bicycle. The goal is to grow new brain cells to replace the injured Exercise, learning how to hobby- I am learning how to line dance on u-tube. Mindful meditation grows new cells. It helps my pain. It stops anxiety attacks. Hang in there. Yiu will heal. You will have good days and bad. Soon there will be more good than bed

The best site I have found is called Benzo Free. I found that the podcast as well as the reading has great info.

Found a person on YouTube. I would not have made it without her. Darth Vader breathing. Magnesium for sleep. The joint pain, the anxiety unbearable. Look up: Amanda Adnama on YouTube. Scroll through her videos on her Klonapin taper.
