Wondering if anyone else was injured by a CT scan with contrast while in withdrawal/tapering/tolerance etc?

I've had two and handled them ok.  I was really afraid in advance but no uptick in symptoms or anything

I've had a lot of tests during tapering, including CTs and MRIs with contrast. I didn't have any issues at all; however, some people are sensitive to the contrast, with or without benzo use or tapering. You may be one of the people who are sensitive. I'm sorry if it didn't go well. It sometimes feels like it's just piling on, doesn't it? I hope you're feeling better. Truly.

No, but I avoid iodine contrast as I have Graves' disease and excessive iodine can trigger an increase Thyroid antibodies if you are susceptible.

I also have to avoid seaweed supplements etc for the same reason.
