@mmaryland do you get any sedating effects from Benzos?

@looking for answers Well my issues all started after trying to bulk up (I began eating like 6 very big meals) and I became severely constipated. The constipation set off a chain of reactions like GERD, insomnia, IBS, and tension problems. After deciding to stop, I realized that it was too late and I was left with the issues I have. What do you think? If you have any advice or input please reply. The two general practitioners I have spoken to said I am dealing with pretty intense anxiety. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy just this past May which showed nothing of concern. I had the pro

My issue is related to anxiety. I took it too far in body building and messed up my bodys chemistry. Antispasmodics do not do anything for my issue. I tried bentyl and levsin and neither did anything to relieve tension. Klonopin does a much better job of relieving tension. I see my pdoc in October and hopefully I can add a muscle relaxant like baclofen or something similar. Id like to either add a muscle relaxant or try something similar to Lyrica. Anti-depressants, especially the newer stuff like SSRI / SNRI cause insomnia which is already an issue of mine. Although I am open to tryin

Is your doc like an anti Benzo doc When I think of as needed...I think of at least A 60 or 90 day supply

Errghh...taking as needed can easily be 5 times a week. your doc bugs me heh

I do have a gastro....it’s in my abdomen, chest, shoulders.....feels like I’m being strangled with a rope Unstrung harp: were you using a antispasmodic or a muscle relaxant?

Do you have pain issues crazyredhead?

I have chronic tension/cramping from my pelvic region and upward. what do you take for something like this?

Well I wonder if taking lexapro somehow messed up benzodiazepine signaling.. 😕

Anyone experience benzodiazepine not working? If so, what did you do?.. any experience or input is welcomed Klonopin and xanax are acting really weird...not due to tolerance

Yeah...do you think she’d go higher? and can I ask, what feeling do you get from taking your xanax? If you can be really specific I’d appreciate it..thanks

Hey crazyredhead, can I ask, what sort of feeling do you get from the benzo? Can you be really specific id appreciate it

@DammitJanet can I ask why your doc is so anti benzo? Is it because you are on a stimulant?

Personally, I think it’s the users body chemistry and has nothing to do with the manufacturer. I am experiencing Benzos not working and have tried diff. Manufacturers and noticed there is no difference whatsoever. klonopin by accord was working great until I started using lexapro....tried klonopin by Actavis and this made no difference at all...stopped using klonopin for 5 months or so and started using klonopin again by accord and it was working...... had a colonoscopy few months back and again klonopin is not working again.... i swear it is a psychological thing

I am pretty certain that ssri/snri’s really mess with benzodiazepines and there functioning. not all folks will agree but does anyone have similar experience?
