Things that qualify would be glycine, magnesium, 5htp, tryptophan, niacinamide, valerian root, passionflower.Yeah, I've heard both sides of the GABA story. I had a bad reaction to 5htp, niacinamide and even valerian. I think I'm just too sensitive.
how long did it take you to get through your benzo withdrawal hell?
This is my 5th attempt after being on them for over 5 years. This time I'm taking it ssssllllooowww. Some nasty stuff.
Any advice for this.
I fall asleep ok around 10-12pm. I'm sleeping deep, having dreams, then i'll just wake up like a deer in the headlights, physical anxiety, nervous adreneline rushing (my testicles up my stomach, at around 6am, or before sunrise.
Even though I take a 10mg valium up on waking,this seems to last til around 11 am.
Any tips?
