[he...] Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I know or at least I hope I know that the constant heart palpitations and then what feels like head rushes are benzo w/d. They really come on when I'm stressed or around a group of people like grocery shopping. I have a day or two with out them or they seem mostly gone and then it comes back full force. Has anyone else had this as their main symptom? I still have major brain fog, what I call brain burning sensation, pain in joints, skin issues. I guess I was just wanting reassurance that this is a benzo w/d symptom and hopefully it will stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hi, Tachycardia and hypoxia were my main symptoms coming off of GABA, so I think those can definitely be benzo withdrawal symptoms, though I'd defer to someone with more knowledge. They suck, and I'm sorry you're experiencing that. If they're severe enough for you to worry, you can buy w pulse oximeter off of amazon or something, and use it to measure heart rate and oxygen saturation to see if you want to see a doctor about those sxs. (I'm on beta blockers for the tachycardia, and it's made a huge difference for me.) Having the pulse oximeter around made me kind of anxious after a while though, just seeing my heart rate elevated all the time, so be careful.
