Re: Suggestions: Benzo alternatives?

[Guest guest]

I will try L theanine, my concern is that as the link showed that I posted the

brain mught have a difficiult time adjusting in withdrawal if using certain

supplements that have similiar effects possibly causing a more difficiult and

harder withdrawal to manage.

My concern is i can't even tolerate withdrawal but the drugs chemical are

causing me to worsen so I'm stuck, I might taper to valium as i hear it is

prefered I just cant put any stress on my body

I wish I could focus on getting better and not even be worried about benzos as I

fight for my life

Mike - Have you tried theanine? I suggest you read this web

page:http://www.raysahelian.com/theanine.htmlI have been on klonopin for about 6

months due to pelvic spasms. It helps, but I still have many bad days of

constant spasms. So over this past weekend I decided to try adding theanine. I

started with 150mg every 8 hours, but that didn't seem to do much. I then went

up to 300mg every 8 hours yesterday, and pratically had a spasm free day, which

is unheard of for me. The results have continued today, so I'm keeping my

fingers crossed!Btw, I recently read a study which showed that melatonin helped

some people get off of klonopin, by offsetting the disruption in sleep that

occurs when getting off of it. - Mark

Hi - I was attracted to theanine because of it's supposed ability to

increase dopamine levels, which klonopin doesn't have. Plus, it may

also have neuroprotective effects. It doesn't seem to make me

drowsy, or sleepy, like klonopin does. So I'm not sure if it's mode

of action are that similar, unless perhaps you take gobs more of it

than I'm taking (I took 900mg yesterday).
