I'm not entirely sure if anyone on this forum can help me, but I thought I'd give it a shot.
So basically, 7 years ago I was prescribed benzodiazepines for an anxiety disorder. I cold turkeyed off of them 20 months ago and its been pure hell ever since. I have a myriad of symptoms I don't want to get into, but basically what happens is the GABA receptors become down-regulated and they don't respond to GABA anymore. Also, the nervous system becomes extreme raw and hypersensitive. For example, I used to have an extremely HIGH tolerance to caffeine, now a half a cup of coffee would probably send me to the E.R.
The medical establishment has not recognized benzo withdrawal as an issue; they give you no warning about it before they prescribe it. The general consensus is that only time will heal you; the time for most is 6 to 36 months to heal, and 99.9% of people eventually recover 100%.
Is there any peat inspired way to strengthen the nervous system and heal the GABA receptors?
