Benzodiazepine Symptoms|Let's Talk Histamine!| 8 Months Ativan Free!

Hey I'm back making videos! I was MIA for a bit dealing with Histamine Intolerance. I wanted to share my research and what I believe has been happening since I have come off of Ativan after 4 long years! I am not a doctor or a professional, all of my videos are based on my opinions and experiences through this.

    I became histamine intolerant due to 20 years of valium. Benzos block the DAO enzyme, which is necessary for the body to eliminate histamine. Excess histamine causes lots of agitation, wakefulness, anxiety, tinnitus. I was on valium but the whole class of benzos blocks DAO.

    @@TheBenzoHouse I just listened to this again. I think you are the only person on the planet that has the same situation as me! So crazy and horrible what has happened over the past few years!! I became histamine intolerant and very sick before I realized that Valium was the culprit. Like you, I never had any dietary restrictions until about two years ago. I was rapid detoxed from valium last March as more and more foods were causing severe agitation and anxiety until finally the drug itself caused agitation or “histamine reactions.” Most of the sources I’ve consulted say that benzodiazepine induced intolerances should heal. I have a book on benzo withdrawal that states many people in withdrawal have trouble with histamine which should repair over time. Personally, I can now tolerate a few more foods than I could while taking the benzo, so some repair has taken place. Living hell is an understatement, compounded by the fact that medical professionals don’t get benzodiazepine withdrawal or histamine intolerance....Please reach out if you want to vent!!! Lol

    thank you so much for your response believe it or not there are thousands in the benzo groups that are going through the same thing as you and I it's just unbearable torturous hell. I said in Wonder at 40 years old where I would be if I could get up and do more and not be so immobile and some days I'm not able to even function with my brain. Days are just wasting away. I really hope that we heal from this cuz I'm 19 months off on the 27th and I'm losing hope. Xoxo

    I’m having major histamine problems. The pressure in my face and head is unbearable and it gives me panic attacks , it feels numb cold and tingly too. Fullness in face head and ears. Panic , rage , agitation insomnia etc. I’ve been on diazepam for about 8 months 10mg a night. Ibe eliminated so much from my diet I’m barely eating and I don’t want to because every time I eat the symptoms intensify to an unbearable level. I have severe chronic fatigue syndrome I’m not able to come off benzo atm because I can’t sleep and it makes me feel suicidal as I’m already way beyond exhausted. I keep trying to lower it but I just can’t. How are you doing now? Have you tried a DAO supplement?

    Julie Uwitonze I’ve already done the DNRS programme. I’ve been off the benzo for 2 months now. So far so good. I feel a lot better off them and haven’t had any withdrawal symptoms so far which was surprising. Have you overcome your fatigue? I’ve been bedridden for 3 years from severe M.E. Trying to find the root cause I have a lot going on wrong inside my body

I still think it's the benzo. I have allergies 365 days a year. The medicine has helped. Or, I could j.g have hit a window. If I knew this was the devil drug, no way in hell I would have taken it.
