Can I take L. Rhamnosus while tapering Valium?

It seems to increase GABA and influence GABA receptors so I don't know if I should try or if this would be like an updosing.

Br careful. Its best to avoid priobiotics /supplements.

As far as I am aware, an increase in GABA is not usually an issue. Benzo withdrawal isn't about too much or too little GABA, but a change in the amount of receptors utilizing properly. While I doubt it affects the receptors in the same way as benzos, you could avoid supplements when in doubt.

There are members that have tolerated probiotics just fine as there are also some that say they had issues. There is no way to predict which group you will fall under, no matter how many people come in here either for or against L. Rhamnosus.
