[Th...] Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Has anyone noticed this? I have had these for the past 4 years - they are so ugly, and I didn't have them before benzos. I looked online and it says they are caused by a severe shock to the body or anti-convulsants among other things. They will grow out and just when I think they are gone for good they will eventually come back again. This is one of the things I am least worried about compared to other things benzo related - but curious if others have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hi, I have one of those too. I found the same thing online, and I figure mine is likely from my recent foot fracture (same foot as the nail). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Th...] Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Yes I read it can result from physical trauma to the nail bed too. Mine are on both feet though and no physical trauma took place. Actually come to think of it - I thought it was gone for about 8 mos after I crossed over to valium, but then I had a meltdown while on a trip to Europe (I don't know what I was thinking doing that while WDing from benzos), then got them again. I wonder if it is from severe stress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I looked at lots of online photos of other icky toenail issues! It was surprising to see how many there were too! Anyway, I'm guessing it's transient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
