I had a disturbing pressure on my chest last night, this happened last time I quit benzos. Took the benzo and everything was OK.
The benzos are putting up quite a fight. Feel really blah today after the benzo.

How long did you go without them? You can reduce the amount, like take a quarter only if you feel withdrawals.
Iāve only had about 2 in a month I think.
You can actually get a heart attack coming off these things, so a bit of uncomfortable pressure on my chest was enough to get me to take one.
I donāt regret it, better to be safe than sorry. Iāll just be happy when Iām completely clear of these things.
I find it hard to come of non-addictive meds so coming off a benzo must be tough. Donāt get too hard on yourself for having just one - isnāt an easy process.
wow i did not realise how strong they are. 2 in a month? really?
I was on them everyday, for about a year. Now that Iām āoffā them, Iāve only had about 2 in the last month. Those 2 I took only to ease the physical withdrawal from the benzos themselves.
Actually Iāve been feeling a weird pressure at night lately as well. Maybe an AP side effect?
I think I saw earlier you said it made you irritable, which is interesting as Iāve never heard of that before. Benzos, if taken as prescribed and for under a few months, are not harmful or evil medications and have the potential to do a lot of good. Ativan has really helped me. Donāt be ashamed

Yikes. It could be your high powered bcomplex interacting with abilify. I did warn you this would happen!
Stop taking the bcomplex.
I have no such issues with this low powered one

Just order it online from iherb.com. Thatās where I get it from even though Iām in Europe.
High powered bcomplexes and abilify donāt mix.
Hereās a thread I made about it
all theses medications, if they donāt kill us, this disease willā¦
If you havenāt already, try giving L-Theanine a go to help with anxiety that rises towards the evening. It ought to help a little with benzo withdrawal due to its (albeit subtle) GABAergic ties. 1-5mg melatonin pairs well with L-Theanine to help get one out of sleep delay-onset too. Iāve noticed quite a few members here using this combo to good effect.
The problem with B complexes is that they are complexes. You donāt need something in there and getting too much of it is a problem. Itās cost prohibitive to buy each vitamin separately, I know, but still - thatās the nature of the beast.
One of the most inane things I read last night (I know I should get out more often) was that one of the top interventions for benzo withdrawal is benzo use. Um?
Maybe keep some Phenibut (easily obtained online) at hand for those rare occasions where you need a benzo? It has less affinity to GHB than most benzos and far less propensity to lead to dependency relapse.
Print this ā ā ā ā and show your GP or pdoc before doing it though.
Am on a multivitamin and next week I want to start bcomplex. The pill says it is 100% daily requirement. Is this safe to take?
Iām taking 100% rda bcomplex and have no issues with it. Itās only the high powered ones that I have a problem with. (1000% rda etc)
Itās usually excessive B6 that leads to dramas. Oral B12 is fairly useless (sorry believers), otherwise that could potentially lead to anxiety. Some people have issues with too much folic acid ā¦ itās all very individual and depends a lot on what you are getting from other sources like diet.
