[ni...] Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 my psychiatrist has never had someone like me with so many symptoms on such a low dose so has had to wait for a consultant psychiatrist who speciliseds in drug addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mu...] Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Obviously your psychiatrist knows nothing of benzos , other than prescribing them. Do you want to reinstate? If not maybe it's withdrawal symptoms and not addiction. I knew 2 weeks after CT I would never take this poison again. Nothing angers me nor than Doctors who insist my withdrawal was over in 6 to 8 weeks. Fight the good fight buddy. You are bigger than any benzo . Fear and doubt are our biggest enemy.

[Be...] Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 GTF Chromium has helped me with the adrenalin surges, pretty much stopped them. 200 mg in early evening, another 200 mg at bedtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mi...] Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 If I get adrenaline surges during the night eating something high in potassium or magnesium helps me. Like a banana and coconut water. Especially coconut water has helped me with my adrenaline surges. Eating something overall helps relieve my stress reaction. I spray magnesium oil also on my legs and use weighted blanket to calm me down. Also deep breathing helps a bit. Walking helps with stress.
