Question about seasonings « on: May 21, 2018, 12:49:31 am »
[Buddie]
Does anyone here cook with seasonings like basil, oregano, garlic, parsley etc?
I have been cooking with just salt and pepper for a while now bc of fear of herbs and spices making wd worse. But want to incorporate them back. Wondering if anyone knows if they make a difference in symptoms at all.
I think I’ve read that some people can’t tolerate garlic? But don’t remember.
Thank you.

Public health emergency: Benzo Buddies members unable to eat normal food due to cult brainwashing, lives at risk
Hell breaks loose after first meal « on: March 04, 2018, 04:02:43 pm »
[Buddie]
It doesn’t matter what I eat although I try to just stick to healthy fats and proteins. I don’t have any sugar, carbs or anything unnatural in the mornings. The minute after I take a bite of food in the morning is when my head pressure, dizziness and blurred vision come on. The hell usually lasts all day after my first bite of food but sometimes gets better towards the evening. The only break I get is for two or three hours in the mornings.
Anyone else?

Exactly that made the psych diagnose me with “anxiety and panic disorder”.
Newsflash, it’s called DYSAUTONOMIA!
Thanks doc. for the misdiagnosis and putting me on this poison, and completely destroying my life.
I told every doctor about it, it didn’t matter matter what i ate, i felt sick, became extremely anxious and had to spend the whole day in bed.
NEVER blindly trust a doctor, do your own research too.
Benzo Buddies member agonizes over whether or not a cup of French onion soup will drive her insane
Am I screwed « on: March 02, 2018, 02:32:25 am »
[Buddie]
I went out to dinner with my fiance tonight and had a cup of French onion soup. Well I got home and started feeling almost normal like. I actually feel good. Vision is clear and my head is not pounding I feel almost myself well I was reading some recipes online and in homemade onion soup they use alcohol in it? Im really wondering if I screwed myself over and there was alcohol still in the soup now I don’t know what to think and I’m hoping I didn’t blow my whole recovery I seriously can’t take much more of this bullshit. What do you guys think?
Re: Am I screwed « Reply #1 on: March 02, 2018, 03:08:45 am »

Why not call the restaurant and ask the chef if they used alcohol in the recipe? They probably don’t, unless they say so on the menu, but it won’t hurt to ask.

Dark chocolate binge sends kook over the edge
Dark Chocolate Caused Big Wave « on: February 23, 2018, 02:09:14 pm »

Major DR, depression, poor sleep, hopelessness, anxiety, SI, detached. All from eating (a lot of) dark chocolate. I hope I feel better today.

I hope you feel better today, too! As much as I love chocolate, I found out the hard way that it affects me in the same way. It seems I’ve become quite sensitive to both sugar and caffeine, both of which are ingredients in most chocolate.
Ashton disciple has mental breakdown after overindulging in bread
Can’t Even Eat Bread?!?!?! « on: February 20, 2018, 12:22:09 am »
[Buddie]
I’ll admit, I may have overindulged on bread today, but I didn’t expect it to give me a mini breakdown complete with crying to my parents! Lorazepam really is the devil’s drug. Anyone else have this problem? Does it get better???
Re: Can’t Even Eat Bread?!?!?! « Reply #1 on: February 20, 2018, 02:23:53 am »
[Buddie]
I am so sorry. You are probably going to have to stock up on the tissue paper, because I didn’t know what sobbing, weeping and bawling were until I started coming off Lorazepam. Goodness gracious, I have cried more in my life in the last 3 years, than I have in all of my life before. Just, these heavy sobbing episodes. On a plus side, I didn’t get a single cold because crying can actually flush the cold viruses out nicely.
And then, somewhere along the way, you’re going to find an artist like Matthew Ryan and start listening to him and sob along, relating to almost every darn lyric in there.

You may be much better off than me because you spent a lot less time on lorazepam than I did, and the crying may also be a temporary symptom from stopping Trintellix. Also, we all have different life circumstances, so the crying episodes may be much more short-lived for you. It’s just that I was surprised by all the crying I went through.

You never fail to make me feel better, and I will forever be in your debt. I’m going to do my best to take some positives from all this. For instance, my crying today helped me get to the bottom of what could prove to be a key issue in my overall recovery. It’s funny, feeling as if everything around me is either negative or out to get me has really pushed me towards finding the positive in things, which I never really did before.

Benzo Buddies member stops eating, has first window
7 months today and have had my first all day window!! « on: February 12, 2018, 01:28:00 am »
[Buddie]
7 months today with a great window all day! What a nice suprise for me. Felt good mentally however physically still not there yet or afraid to push it. In the last month have started with diet changes. Dropped dairy products, most all red meat, all nightshade fruits and veggies. It seems to be helping alot. I have been making a special crock pot chicken, cabbage, carrots, onions, green bean and peas dish for myself daily to clear skin problems and it’s working quite well. Ad salt pepper garlic and a couple of chicken bullion cubes and it’s pretty tasty as well. I’m looking forward to more of these good days, what a long strange trip it’s been!! I choose not to fill any of physic drugs thE doc wanted to try on me in the last 7 months and now I’m glad I don’t have them to taper.

Kooks add soy sauce, sushi, olives with (or without) garlic, MSG to list of forbidden foods
Soy Sauce???? « on: December 24, 2017, 04:45:50 pm »
[Buddie]
I was reading about “kindling”. It talked about the overproduction of glutamate. Soy sauce has glutamate. I ate sushi last night with tamari & this morning had a bad episode of symptoms (weak & shaky legs, distended stomach, blurry vision). Any correlation??

No clue I ate some green olives with garlic and immediately had issues be I don’t know why
Re: Soy Sauce???? « Reply #2 on: December 24, 2017, 06:30:52 pm »
[Buddie]
Tons of MSG in both Sushi at a lot of places, and soy sauce, which also contributes to glutamate.
Re: Soy Sauce???? « Reply #3 on: December 25, 2017, 04:30:53 am »
[Buddie]
MSG is a major trigger for many people during withdrawal, and soy sauce is really high in it. Yes, there is definitely a correlation between MSG and waves.
Re: Soy Sauce???? « Reply #4 on: December 25, 2017, 06:26:14 am »

Absolutely! Even now, almost 10 months off, if I were to consume soy sauce, it would get real ugly, real fast.
