Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hi and Jada, I was on benzodiazepines for about 8 years, I have been off of them for a little over a year. the first time I tried to go off them I really got those adrenal /electric shocks. those meds are very well known for messing with the GABA and serotonin receptors. benzos really screw up the way the brain works and all our neurotransmitters.at one year off the brain is still healing so those shocks could be in part from being on those drugs for many years. I also think those meds are a big reason why my adrenals are so bad now. I take L-tyrosine and L-phenylalanine when I get up and I take melatonin , GABA and 5-HTP before going to bed. thanks, sherie > > > > > > I have had these adrenaline/electric shock feelings for years ,I > > > remember having them on occasion back in 1993. they really made them > > > selves known when I stopped taking benzos in 2005. > > > > > > > > > These electric shock feelings the last few weeks have got worse, > > > much worse.
