[In...] Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I was wondering if anyone who has had setbacks from meds (Tylenol, antibiotics, propranalol, etc.) was able to take them again after reinstating. I’m guessing this doesn’t work, but thought I might ask if anyone has experienced this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[In...] Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 Yeah exactly, for example if someone was able to take meds again after reinstating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Fo...] Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I've reinstated in the past and never had a problem that I can recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[In...] Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 Ah thank you that’s good to know. Did you have problems when not on them? For example I’m guessing what I’m wondering is if someone has had a setback from some med while not ok a benzo, and then tried it again after reinstating.

[ne...] Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hi Inexplicable, are you considering reinstating? The general consensus here is not to reinstate: http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=53305.0 I myself have reinstated more almost two months ago, and don't feel well.

[In...] Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 Yeah I’m considering it as a last resort :/. Thank you for the response & link. I’m 6 years out and have setbacks to just about everything. Every med, supplement, even some foods. The setbacks don’t last that long and I’m nearly 100% healed in between, but I’ve recently been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. Im going to have to go on meds for it, but if they cause a setback I’m in big trouble, so if that happens the only thing I can do is try to reinstate and pray it allows me to take the meds. Also to note - I was on a substance called 1,4-butanediol and not benzos. It’s a GABAb agonist so I’m considering reinstating on baclofen, and if that doesn’t work maybe even back on 1,4-butanediol. I’m not hopeful, and am guessing either way I’m going to be in big trouble, but thought I might see if there could be a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ne...] Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Dear inexplicable, I am sorry to hear you're in such a difficult position. I'm not familiar with those drugs, maybe people in the "other meds" section of the forum have more answers: http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?board=60.0 But if they act in a similar way to benzos you might be in trouble. I can't tell you what to do, I can only tell you that after reinstating I hit tolerance very fast. And now I am facing a very long and difficult taper. You can read more about my experience here: http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=275347.msg3437736#msg3437736 Also the user Leanne reinstated recently and she's not feeling well either: http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=275110.msg3438114#msg3438114 Maybe you can a try very small dose of the psoriasis medication to see how it makes you feel?

[Sp...] Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I am 4 years out and had a setback from Covid and now even Tylenol revs up my symptoms. I have not considered reinstating the valium but did have to take a small dose of Ativan prior to surgery to bring my blood pressure down and didn't have a reaction. I had Covid end of October 2022 and my setback has been 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[In...] Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 Thanks for the responses. Yeah I’ve heard all GABAergic drugs can cause tolerance so I’m definitely worried. I’m planning on trying a small dose of the meds and praying they don’t cause any issues. If they do though I’m not sure what I’m going to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[De...] Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 if you feel mostly healed in between, imo don't reinstate, you could try the drug for arthritis first, if doesn't go well, you could also try valproic acid or pregabalin, the latter being the worst to get off, every of this drugs are hard to get off, pregabalin probably worst than valproic acid, which is also gabaergic by other mechanisms, so it could maybe work with your sensitivity, reinstating on a benzo or gaba b agonist imo is not a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[In...] Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Thank you Deniz that does make sense. That’s definitely something I’m considering actually good idea, may try other meds like that first if I’m not able to take the arthritis drug.

[De...] Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 what is the drug? maybe the drug lowering inflammation and histamine could even help you, who knows, if I had to choose between pregabalin and valproic acid, I would choose the latter, not on insane doses, 125 or 250mg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[In...] Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 It’s humira. Definitely hoping it could help. Thanks definitely something I’ll consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[In...] Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 I can also try NSAIDs but they seem even more likely to be an issue. For now I’m just using diet & exercise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
