Tender breasts « on: May 15, 2018, 05:29:16 am »
This is directed towards the girls 
but I suppose it could happen to men too.
I have had tender breasts for some time now and wondered if I should get this checked out or if it is something that resolves spontaneously. Have been really fatigued, and hot flashes.
Best to all.

DGL Licorice Root « on: April 29, 2018, 10:51:20 pm »
Hi, does anybody know if this minor amount (400mg/day) of qu has a significant impact on the metabolism of diazepam? I know it contains compounds which greatly effect the cpy3A4 and 2a19 enzymes but not sure if present in sufficient quantities. Suffered from an NSAID ulcer, was taking this off and on for 3 months and just recently stopped. My muscles feel more tight and stiff than usual. Doing a slow taper from V.
Thanks!

Only thing keeping me going is rubbing my brain « on: February 21, 2018, 04:41:07 am »
I haven’t been to the doctor because I am terrified on what i’ll find out. I am being as positive as I can be but it just doesn’t make sense on how I feel. When I massage my hands deep into my brain, it feels like i’m manually triggering my neurons to work. I feel like A part of my brain just wont function unless I apply pressure to it. I can feel 100 percent like shit but once I stimulate A certain area on my head, I feel almost normal immediately. It’s so weird. My symptoms are dizzyness, nauseous, and feeling panicy. I have no anxiety at all by the way. just mental symptoms. i’m not feeing the usual symptoms from withdrawal and it worries me. I think i’m going to the doctors soon and see what’s going on with me. Wish me luck. Fill you guys in later
Threw a tantrum like a little kid humiliated « on: February 14, 2018, 03:59:03 am »
I don’t know why but looking back just now I realized I threw somewhat of a tantrum when I was at a facility well it was called a facility bit it was terrible. Now I feel so embarrassed I don’t know why I did that I was so pissed and scared at the time I thought they were trying to keep me there. I was just cold turkeyed just before maybe that’s had something to do with it

It would […]. 
I was sitting on a very crowded and cramped bus stop about 3 weeks ago and it was really hot. The bus had those air brake things, and as each bus arrived and departed the air brakes made a horrible hissing, squealing sound.
I kept enduring until I just screamed at the final bus and told it to shut the F up. Everyone looked at me. Aarrgghh.
I was so embarrassed but did apologise to those around who looked at me strangely. I never do stuff like that, it just overcame me.
I was in early WD and my apology was accepted.
It gets better.

Does orgasm make your symptoms worse? « on: February 12, 2018, 12:05:30 am »
Does orgasms make your symptoms worse? I feel like my anxiety, fatigue, depersonalization, everything gets worse after orgasm and doesn’t get better until about a week of abstinence…

Yes, I think this happens to me. If I feel good before, and […] for a few hours after having one, but a few hours later I feel horrid. I guess it takes a lot of our energy, or maybe the pleasure center in our brain is tapped too much. Fortunately, this symptom resolves itself for me after a while. Thanks for letting me know I’m not the only one.

It may be linked to hormones. I’ve read a number of posts that indicate pregnancy and menstrual cycles are particularly difficult due to hormonal issues.

Of course, as a guy. this doesn’t apply to me, but very recently I discontinued Melatonin, a hormone which I used as a sleep aid for 18 months, and from what I understand the US (where I am) is the only country that allows it to be sold OTC. Perhaps going off of it contributed to my post-O slump and other problems

Orgasms don’t seem to bother me but I definitely notice feeling way worse during my period, so I can believe that hormones are involved.

Actually, us guys have hormones as well — they are just different ones. Testosterone is a hormone. And there is in fact a big hormonal change in the brain after orgasm in males. My impression is that the orgasm also has an affect on the central nervous system, and since said nervous system is irritated… It would make sense that there would be symptoms. In my first bad experience with quitting benzos years ago, I would always feel like crap after an orgasm. Never knew why! Now I do…

About to lose my Job (please help)! « on: February 10, 2018, 08:22:08 pm »
I’m about to lose my Job due to being very unproductive, always feeling tired and fatigued, and the cognitive and the OCD issues are just topping all of that.
What can I do?
What can I take that’s not harmful to help with all of that?
I sometimes think of taking Adderall or Provigil/Nuvigil cuz I know they sure help with all the symptoms mentioned above but they’re very harmful to my fragile CNS.
Please help with any suggestions.

Is my brain swollen? « on: February 01, 2018, 07:56:08 am »
When I rub down on my head it creates shocks in my brain. Feeling like something is wrong. Has anyone experienced this? Everytime I push on my head it triggers shocks in my brains. Zaps. Like my brain is swollen and I can touch it from the outside.
Re: Is my brain swollen? « Reply #1 on: February 01, 2018, 08:42:58 am »
I haven’t experienced rubbing my head and getting zaps but brain zaps are very common in SSRI withdrawals and benzo too. I did have sore spots on my scalp for about a week and it was related to muscle tension.
Re: Is my brain swollen? « Reply #2 on: February 01, 2018, 02:58:27 pm »
I had the same inconvenience during the emergency phase. I could “feel the brain”, and it felt like very big and heavy. As I touched my head, I got the feeling it was still moving forward. But it went over after a couple of months.
