Recommended Posts

i weened off valium slowly over 4 years. I am now 10 months off and the left side of my face goes numb and tingling, which has came ans gone numerous times, i get mettalic taste in my mouth. nerve pain all over my body, pains in my feet and cant walk and sore muscles and also eye issues. sometimes i worry i have multiple sclerosis. i dont understand why im not healing because this is honestly worse then it was months 2-8 . I also get itching all over. Constantly wondering if this is still withdrawal or if i shouls be checking elsewhere. im sure a lot of people feel like this .

You are not alone, taikamiya. The trigeminal neuropathy you describe in your face can be eased or eliminated by magnesium-l-threonate and R-lipoic acid. It’s a trick I learned a long time ago to deal with my own left-sided facial and arm and leg neuropathy during Lyme disease. Magnesium-l-threonate in particular is specific for nerve restoration. I take magnesium-l-threonate and R-lipoic acid nightly.

 

Metallic taste in mouth can be caused by both iron deficiency and zinc deficiency.

 

I’m dealing with all over itching, like you. I take an iron capsule (iron bisgycinate) every other night to alleviate both itching and insomnia. I also take antihistamine probiotics and diamine oxidase enzyme to deal with histamine response and itching. Also I drink a lot of water in case dehydration is contributing to itching.

 

All this said, I’m not a medical diagnostician and can only say what helps me. A naturopath or MD can order mineral deficiency tests.

 

I also weaned off valium (over a two and a half year period) and am three months off. Weakness, crippling fatigue and itching are my most pronounced symptoms.

I'm almost 18 off and still getting these horrible sxs, this cluster of sxs seems to be pretty common in bwd. Hoping for that elusive day in the future when they're gone maybe.

At almost 27 months off I can say I would take acute over this current state of affairs.  It is a downhill slide all the way until our miracle happens.  Hang tough!!
