[Ho...] Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi, Does anyone know if drinking tap water could be more harmful after benzo withdrawal? I don't know if this is just my anxiety or if I should look into getting a water filter? I'm especially worried because I'm having issues with hydration right now where I feel constantly dehydrated so I'm drinking a lot. I'm not sure if it's okay to be flooding my body with tap water day after day. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[je...] Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi! I suppose if you live in a Third World country you wouldn't want to drink the tap water. I live in the States near the Great Lakes and our water is spectacular! Have been drinking it for ages with no problem. If you are concerned, perhaps your City Hall would have a water report for your area. You could then make a determination if you are comfortable drinking it. You will get a lot of "yes and no" inputs most likely. Just listen to your own mind! Be well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[me...] Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Tap water is much better for you than bottled water, IMHO. Bottled water picks up BPA from the plastic, you can taste it in the water. Most tap water is quite good, but a filter never hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Bu...] Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 We use a pitcher (PUR) water filter and it helps reduce chlorine and other things. Our tap water often has a very strong chlorine odor. It's also supposed to help reduce lead, mercury, herbicides/pesticides, chemicals and microbes. Using a filter might be helpful because, the body wouldn't have to deal with all that stuff on top of recovering from benzos. Our water smells and tastes better anyways.

[Ho...] Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Thanks for the the feedback! I was thibking similarly, Burned Out, that with a water filter my body would not have to be detoxifying from any unnecessary chemicals that might be in the water. Plus my water has a chlorine taste too. I think I'll get an inexpensive water filter pitcher. I don't see how it can hurt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I am entitled to my opinion and that is there's nowt wrong with a birra tap as we say in Yorkshire. I would love to see your evidence I am sure it's inspiring x I might drink Yorkshire tap water, but here in NYC it tastes like mushrooms and sludge, even though it appears to be crystal clear. I’d be delighted to offer you some straight out of the tap as I drink my gallons of tap water that is first run through two layers of filteration - the pre-filter traps the brownish-black sludge and the second filters spores, cysts and chemicals. It tastes pretty good, and the filters I use cost less than $12 a month. Also, without the filtering my tea tastes like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [Le...] Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 You are alright Leslie I'll stick to Yorkshire tap ta yours sound crap thought the us would have the best water lol In the USA, the government just says the water is clean, while it pumps raw sewage and toxic waste directly into the waterways, and worse. The oil spills are interspersed with the chemical ones to see that no natural life form goes unlubricated. For ‘fun,’ Google “Love Canal” in upstate NY. Now that the few environmental laws we struggled for decades to have put in place are being massively rescinded this year, there’s not much fresh- or sea water that’s going to go unscathed. Not that my measly filtration system will extract all of that, but at least I’ll deteriorate whilst drinking tasty water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[sh...] Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 tap water contains fluoride. I recall someone mentioning once to only drink spring water whilst in withdrawal rather than tap or mineral if you can. shania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
