Sugar chocolate


Recommended Posts

Hello can anyone tolerate chocolate or chocolate.  How does it make you feel. Even a tiny bit thank you . X

Yes, occasionally chocolate is ok for me. I think a good quality brand is preferable - there are fancy sugar free ones (can’t recall names - sorry) that I used to buy from the health food shop. 
My view is that a small treat is welcome, if it agrees with you, when this benzo nonsense is making life unbearable!

Thank you had a small piece of chocolate last night.  Today anxiety is unbelievable.  Would a small amount cause that. X

I guess it depends on sensitivity. Sorry it created anxiety. Any sugar can cause a spike/rush. Let it subside. 
The bars I had were vegan, organic think called Ombar. Not manufactured everyday sweetness but a bit different.

I have chocolate, not much, maybe two squares of 85% which has much less sugar, but I prefer the taste so its not because of low sugar that I eat it. Honestly I don't think it makes any difference as long as our GABA receptors are fragile. I think we tend to worry over everything far too much because of the state we are in. Everything becomes an issue when it really isn't the problem.  Healing our GABA receptors is the big deal and everything else is peripheral.

@[...]Are you taking any other medication? Maybe the body needs this time to adjust getting off all this stuff. Not feeling too good either after 10 months and 2 weeks. Pretty bad still, but I know its got nothing to do with chocolate so enjoy that at least!

Paroxetine and Mirtazapine are both anti-depressants, is that right? Are you tapering of these too?
