[Ca...] Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I have had an iron-clad immune system, which was disrupted after taking benzos. Colds, sinus infections, had shingles, and more... It seems that for me, much of this was due to lack of sleep and the stresses that benzo withdrawal has on the body. How do you deal with the illnesses and sickness when they come up? Has anyone tried taking fresh garlic, for example? I'm working at getting more rest throughout the day, as well as good sleep hygiene as much as possible at night.

[Sn...] Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I have had sinus issues for 3 months now. Took 2 courses of strong antibiotics. Did not help. Sinus issues are benzo withdrawal symptoms. We just have to ride it out. Peace and God's Blessings Snufi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ca...] Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Snufi, did you have sinus issues before? Any idea why this is a symptom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I take homeopathic products by Boiron. Been taking them for years. Very rarely get a cold, but if so it usually lasts around 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Sn...] Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 No I did not have sinus issues before. I am going to guess that the body is so busy repairing gaba receptors that it can't keep up with everything that is going on inside. That's why us BB are more susceptible to infections, rashes, etc... peace and Blessings Snufi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[er...] Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Past month I have flu , cold , sore throat , sinus . Every week different sickness , was absolutely crazy . I never had this in life . I have feeling like if my immune system is completely down . Sick from every little wind and crazy sensitivity . This started around 2 years off , when all w/d were gone . I have feeling like benzo fried not only our brain but stripped down immune system and will take long time till poor brain fix all mess . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
