ok here I am trying to treat my leaky gut and candidas. I drank bone broth took colostrum and  put a castor oil pack over my liver area trying to heal liver congestion. Well th live pain subsided. but  every day when I wake up its anxiety/surges .  used to me every other day now its every day. I am 11 months  off the benzo. I wonder what I did wrong.  I am sleeping better at night. 5-6 hours but after that I began to feel uneasy and have to get out of bed.

I wonder if it could have caused your liver to do some detoxing and maybe that could ramp up your symptoms?  I've heard that taming candida can cause similar symptoms, too.  Glad the liver pain subsided though.  I'm going to an acupuncturist for that and have to be careful of the detoxifying effects.

although considered a healing food, bone broth is very high in glutamate, which can exacerbate withdrawal symptoms.  Many people cannot tolerate bone broth at all without sending them into a major wave.

I've started taking L-theanine for the adrenaline/cortisol surges in the morning. They sent me into a sheer panic and I couldn't function at all, was about to throw in the towel. Until I found an old post about L-theanine and distracted myself researching supplements to maintain neuro-transmitter balance. Within 3 day of taking this I feel a TON better than I did. When I woke up this morning an intense rush started to kick in and it was so weird to actually feel my body shut it down. It didn't go completely away but I was able to get out of bed and walk 4.5 miles to burn off any extra 'dread' feelings. I'm not a doctor so I can't tell you what to do, but just google "l-theanine during benzo withdrawal". I hope this helps. Praying for a speeding healing for you.

Momack... I used to love doing castor oil packs ... I've done them twice now during my taper , and , although I got releif from liver pain , I found that it did indeed cause detox amd ramped my symptoms way up . So , just my experience .... Same with coffee enemas which are so great fro the liver , but I can't handle them now , too much detox  :(

Maybe try a really gentle approach to detoxing , and yes the bone broth is high glutamate unfortunately . I think we have to allow our bodies to detox at their own rate with some very gentle support . Can you take milk thistle ?

 

Good luck ,
