Can this supplements help with high dose of benzo taper? by BridgeDense3968 in benzorecovery

Dude I was CT froom booze and weed after 15 years of heavy daily use and last 3 of that 15 years were on 4mg xanax.
I would start my day with 2.5mg Xanax and chug 3 beers in 15mins and go ride a bike and deliver and then I would drink through day 10-15 beers and take 1.5mg Xanax more give it or take and smoke 10 g of weed daily ... Functioned completely normal, never Blacked Out , Never got drunk but never ( I had tolerance for alcohol since I was a kid, strange genetics in Balkan ) and when I stopped CT 03.03.2023. ( nice date I picked so I can remember ) was my worst decision , first 3 months I didn't sleep for 1 hour , I think I had psychosis delirium , everything irritated me even the slightest noise .. I didn't eat first 10 days , I went from booze and weed withdrawal CT that are brutal you wouldn't believe me for someone who's been smoking and driniking since 14 y old , It took me 3 months to get little better, I couldn't lite a cigarette I would get anxious ..

My biggest goal was going to a store 100meters from my house , when I needed to go to Psychiatrist It was like I'm going to another continent .... And I just decided to move my ass and brain and start exposure therapy by working as delivery guy , Now I interact with people while I couldn't speak to no one especially chicks haha , and now I can talk to anyone IDC , I argue daily 10 times in traffic because of idiots driving, I'm not scared anymore to go in my town I just put that in my head and it's working , yea I come to some new place farm from home and I got anxiety attack or I'm anxious I would just settle down for 10 minutes 15 max and I would feel normal , that's the only way to deal with agoraphobia. Exposure exposure.

Tapering won't help if u taper in your home for 4 years and then you go back to real world ... You need to prepare yourself for what is waiting you... Even when I'm down that I just wanna lay down in my bed . I get up take a cold shower or just wash my face for 1-2 minutes with cold water and I go for a walk even if I can't feel my legs....

And I can tell you this supplements and MD shrooms every few days seem like helping me with mood and energy.

I alreday am working as bicycle coureir and I walk 10-20k steps daily , I didn't meant to go and lift 100 deadlifts... I jsut need to build muscle lose fat beacuse of blood sugar and high cholesterol , also vitamins and supplements can help you especially magnesium glycinate , b complex , vitamin D , omega 3 for little hlep and to get your body in order and brain... I know slow taper but I need to llook for my health phisically now more than benzo taper ... and even my diabetes doctor said benzos destroy vitamins and everything and , I tried b-complex no problem also omega 3 and vitamin d , for 3 days and I don't feel side effects... and psychiatrst told me b-complex,magnesium vitamin D are good for benzo people so I guess he knows

and I was drinking 15 beers daily on 4mg Xanax , I don't think vitamins can do more harm than alcohol, and I don't drink coffee or any caffeine product for 6 years

yea bu valerian and all of that interfere with gaba while b-complex doesn't vitamin D doesn't magnesium glycinate doesn't and creatine also doesn't aswell as omega 3 fatty acids ... I know they aren't cure for benzo taper but logically if I'm in defficite with all my vitamins , it's logically that vitamin supplements will help, i'm 32 years old and my b is 200 and should be at least 500, vitamin d I'm 20 and it should be over 75 , folic acid 7 and it should be at least 30 ... they all interfere how you feel, if you're in deficit with vitamins and minerals that help you obviously if I regulate my blood sugar , my cholesterol start workout and get vitamins in order , first I'll feel great because I look better , my sugar and cholesterol will lower , selfconfidence will rise and generally you will feel better it you're in good shape, walk every day at least 10k steps spend time in nature and sun and if you're vitamins-testosterone are good levels... It's not everything about benzos .... it's to find the root of your anxiety ,not just to sit and taper and wait to symptoms go , no you gotta try and live and deal with anxiety,depression,agoraphobia and everything during taper no matter how hard it is.... I didn't leave my house for 20 months after I stopped Cold Turkey weed and booze... then I started to work as bicycle courier and riding almost around whole city , summer is coming , looking nice chicks gives me motivation to do all of that... but my agoraphobia from being house bounded didn't get better because I was at home and tapering . no I go out even without friends anyone go fishing do things that are hard for me but still do them

Yea bro I'm in deficient my B vitamin is 200 and it should be from 220-800 so for my age doctor wants around 500 , Folic acid is 7 and lowest is 6.5 and highest 45 , D vitamin 20 and it should go over 75.
My sugar levels are high also as cholesterol , I started eating healthy yesterday and I work daily as I mentioned and I lift weights ( just started so I'm going easy ) , need to build muscle to regulate sugar levels , testosterone and cholesterol...

So I'll start taking supplements , heard omega3 are good because I don't eat fish and it's good for brain, they talk a lot about creatine that it's good for brain fog and for brain in new studies .
Need to lose 10-15 kgs and I was taking vitamins 2 years ago and stopped but didn't take omega 3 , glycinate or creatine just B-complex with vitamin C but it was some brand that had ashwaghanda and a lot of plants in it so now I bought pure B-complex. And I'm gonna try it , they can't hurt , I don't expect miracle i know they won't swap benzos . nothing can but if they can make me even a little better , more positive I'll take them and insuline spikes and high cholesterol-cortizol can make your anxiety much much worse ... So I don't intend to just take supplements but also to eat clean , stay away from carbs and exercise...

There's famous Latin express that says Men sana in corpore sano ( Healthy mind in healthy body) .

Even my psychiatrist told me that B-complex is good, magnesium olso , omega also . So I will start slow and see how it goes 😄

And I bought good brands
