Dizzy not dizzy, dizzy not dizzy and so on, when will it stop?

[Guest [su...]]

Yesterday was a amazing day. Felt really good. No sxs at all. My brothers wife send me some Roobois tea. I drank it last night. What a nightmare!! I end up really bad. Like a big wave of w/d came over me. Got brain zaps and really dizzy. Google about Roobois tea...And do found out it is a GABA agonist 

Damn! So today I feel like I had take a extra pill.

I am so dizzy and have balance problems.

 

This dizziness,  is it common to come and go from day to day like all other sxs? I have no other sxs since my last cut 13 days ago.

I have been dizzy before but not like this. I felt it more intense since my last cut. But this cut was almost 50 % less than the one before. It comes and goes like they are my waves now.

I rather have headache or muscles cramp than this dizziness.

Hope it will fade away. I am not so far from my last cut so I guess it is just w/d or maybe the tea. Because I was almost 100 % me yesterday...

Although Rooibos makes me feel better, I can also understand it intensifying your symptoms...there are many posters here who suffer from that dizzy feeling and it is indeed horrible....I think it is reasonable to suspect that the tea is the culprit and just avoid it for now.  I think your reaction symbolizes what a crapshoot this process is and why so many posters advise staying away from all supplements and non routine foods that we are used to.

Good luck...

Thank you for your respond. I tried Passion flower with lemon balm. OMG it was true terror also GABA agonists I just want to drink some tea. And normal tea makes my heartrate go up. Caffeine doesn't work at all. I miss my coffee so badly. My only addiction in this world is coffee ( besides my mobile 😉) . I don't drink alcohol, never smoke,  don't eat candy...I miss something hot to drink.Maybe cocoa works in hot milk? Or is it caffeine in that to? The Rooibos tasted sooo good! I wish I had google it before I drank it. And it is not placebo I feel from the tea. I didn't know it was a GABA agonist. I am super sensitive to this GABA agonist and antagonists..

 

PS. Did you drink the tea during your taper?

There is a stimulant in cocoa. I drink decaf  coffee when I want something hot.

Sun, am so sorry to hear, it must have been quite a shock!!! Atleast u have a fair idea as to why...

is strange that i can still drink strong dark coffee, with no sx, but my body just doesnt want it anymore... pre taper i probably had 6 per day... now 1, or even none...

So i cant realy help as i havnt looked for an alternative... the only thing i thought of, that maybe isnt so common is lemon grass tea...? -pls b sure to google and sample test first though!!!

Hope u are back to ur happy self extra soon...

I guess we dont have coffee without caffeine in my country. Have never seen it. Imagine what this crap of medicine take away from us...

 

I am so dizzy that I got nausea and now my tinnitus is driving me nuts. Maybe put on some loud music so I can't hear the biiiiiiiiip and dance as when somebody don't see me? LOL...I walk like a drunk person my balance is out of order 

Well I' m dancing with myself ..."singing"😉

I miss coffee so much! Well I will do the best of a dizzy day and when my balance is out of order...Look my previous post 😉...

Btw how are you doing since the little accident last weekend? You are soon done with Valium. I wish I was so close to zero. It feels like the time is standing still. I will taper almost the whole year. I need to slow down my pace. Going to hold until after my holiday.Hope it will be more easy and no sxs or being dizzy all the time the futher away I go from my last cut. I need a break now. But my 2 week rebound sxs is up coming and I feel more sxs now. Head pressure. Headache. Blurry vision. But I know this crap. It will past. Still listen to music. To keep the nasty little devil away but I feel the sxs hit me more and more... Benzo...Just accept. Soon I can go to bed and hopefully sleep thru this

I keep the fan or tv on to block out tinnitus.

Also you can probably buy anything on Amazon. There is an organic caffeine free, acid free coffee called Teecino that I used to drink. Very easy on stomach too I drank it because of acid refux. The frech roast is the best

oh, yes, Amazon is my buddy, big time!!

Yes I am able to drink regular coffee and tea...but after noon time I switch to decaf everything and the very best decaf tea is made by Twinings and Twinings also has delicious ginger/lemon "tea" that is so soothing and an oh so yummy decaf Chai.  I really really like their decaf English Breakfast tea...no way is there a hint of strangeness from being decaf.  And Twinings is very available at Amazon....the only tea I disliked was their Chamomile which isn't recommended for ppl in withdrawal and recovery.

Best wishes in finding a new beverage!!

So long as u r not dancing in the sun...!

Yes, that was a real bad joke...

 

Head and neck still a bit sore, but to be expected... thanks.

 

Not so sure my taper is that close... -time to slow it up a bit, last cut was/is a bit nasty... will probably need a hold too, i suspect...

 

I imagine a good hold and a great holliday will do you a world of good..!

Dont rush ur taper, or compare... there are too many variables... as you know..

-though i will say, today you dont suffer alone... even if u dance alone...!

Your hold will settle in soon, and healing will continue...

Stay positive...
