Is you try some theanine, taurine, gaba, l-tryptophan or other calming supplement to make you benzo taper easier?

Nah cow just a multi and a B vitamin, calcium and
Vitamin D. Tho the dr. Said magnesium would help. Benzo tapers just are rough, it goes this way.

Yes, I know all about it, Sleepies. Is tough stuff. But is things you can do to make easier for you. Magnesium is good one. Okay, I will stop Dr. Cowing you now.

for some reason bananas and eggs always made me feel better. I could get into the nitty gritty of why but i dont wanna be in trouble for giving medical advice.

I also realized too there is a difference in how good i can feel with 1 banana vs 10 bananas the more the merriier. I no longer eat eggs tho but i do miss the feel good vibes i'd get from them.

It is great to see you doing so well. Good job on the socializing and not joining in the alcohol.
I found that once I got through that situation the first time, it was definitely easier after that.

I am getting really unsettled with a restricted diet, no drinks and benzo taper. I can't comfort eat I get distraught then days and days of insomnia ensue. I am pretty bummed tonight.

Sleepie, you can try to do too many things at the same time, a lot of people have that problem.

I have to though or everything will get worse. Drinks and benzos are off the table. Maybe I can find something I don't know what, that won't spike my blood sugar or make me feel gross. If I eat another piece of kale I think I will do a Linda Blair.
