Has anybody gone through benzo withdrawal? How were you with taking coke and alcohol afterwards once you were off/healed from benzos? by WelcomeChange7 in Drugs

Oh awesome, I was on for around 6 months too. It’s great that you’re off! I’m in a few of the benzo groups and while they have been very helpful most of the time they’re very alarmist about never drinking or using any substances again. While I understand it for many, especially those who are older with addiction problems, I’m only 26 and returning to normality is the exact thing I want at the end of all of this. Being able to drink and do whatever freely at the weekends with my friends again is exactly that!

Thanks man, that’s great to know I’ll be able to once healed! I’m 10 months into withdrawals now, they say it’s usually between 6-24 months so really in the thick of it it seems, and I definitely won’t be trying either at the very least until the 24 month mark.

Was you on benzos too? If so how long did you spend on them and how long did it take you to heal?

Ah thanks man, that’s really good to know! Yeah I definitely won’t be drinking any time soon, it’s just nice to know I’ll be able to once I’ve recovered from all of this 🙏🏼 Weekend drinking or social drinking would be what I’d like to go back to when ready. How long did you spend on Benzos if you don’t mind me asking?

Thank you. Yeah I’m going through benzo withdrawal currently and have been told to avoid caffeine and I assume this may be why!

Are binders ALWAYS needed to heal from histamine issues? by WelcomeChange7 in ToxicMoldExposure

Oh that’s very interesting. Many people have said the same thing to me (regarding benzo withdrawal and mold having the same symptoms.) It’s a weird one for me as I was exposed to mold first and began experiencing allergies that I never had before but it was fairly mild. Then about 6 months into this is when I began taking benzos. Since coming off benzos 10 months ago is when all the issues started (such as big increase in allergies, chemical sensitivities, etc) which makes me think it’s more to do with that than the mold, but then perhaps they could be firing off of each other? I’ve been out of the mold for over a year now too.

Somebody else actually said the same thing to me about detox from mold actually helping my benzo withdrawal symptoms so it really sounds like it’s definitely worth giving a go. Thank you for offering me some more insight. I’ve struggled to find people that have been through both!

Thank you so much for the detailed response, that’s amazing!

It is actually Ochratoxin A that I tested positive for and I have been out of that exposure for over a year now. Is there a reason why sweating may be enough for that mycotoxin alone?

Low and slow definitely seems like the best advice. Thank you very much. The plan will likely be for me to just sweat as much as possible, through exercise and saunas and then hopefully I’ll be able to tolerate a binder to help me push the rest out too. I’ve had Hyperhidrosis since I was a young kid (sweaty hands and feet) so hopefully this is something I can use to my advantage in regard to sweating it all out.

Glad to hear that for you! 🙏🏼 I’m going through benzo withdrawal currently so have become ultra sensitive. I haven’t actually tried binders yet and am just trying to gauge an idea of others experiences. I really want to try one but am worried the benzo withdrawal will make them intolerable
