All my pain that I had before has been made worse. 🥺🤬. 12 year intractable pain patient with two failed back surgeries. Thrown to pain management to die. He's done a good job. He doesn't even believe I'm in withdrawal. Doesn't know why I want to go through withdrawal. He's the one that calls this in January when you cut my dose in half. 🥺🤬

I was dealing with histamine intolerance since i finished tapering clonazepam. I was dealing with it for 14 month and it got better and i didn't have the reactions anymore,now it has come back and im having reactions again but now im having histamine symptoms even when i do not eat anything.Is it common to have histamine symptoms even when you do not eat anything and also does histamine intolerance come and go after a period of time in some people.

Are there things to help our bodies to not have these problems? Or natural ways to reset our histamine & mast cells, so they won't become over-loaded?

If you have inflammation what is your CRP? Any blood work would immediately tell you ( if you had true inflammation) if your inflammatory markers would be elevated. Its true benzos do have some anti inflammatory properties but unless you have autoimmune or various disorders that cause inflammation a benzo will not cause the inflammation you speak of.
@TheBenzoHouse10 ай бұрын
A lot of psychiatric drugs work as a mast cell stabilizer and when they do that and you come off of them inflammation is one of the side effects of mast cell along with histamine intolerance. My blood marker is did come back high and they're always high due to constant inflammation in my body. Many people that I talk to have inflammation in mine actually shows You can put your hand on my back and leave a handprint on my skin I also get flushing from inflammation and feel like I'm going to pass out. I'm being treated by a specialist who studies mast cell and histamine intolerance. A lot of us during benzo and benzo taper withdrawals inflammation markers come back high. I would say inflammation is one of my worst symptoms when I get it it's really bad.

Cymbalta (antidepressant) caused my damage. I also did come off a benzo that I was on for 9 years. I did a slow one year taper off and I think I did okay with that taper. Probably was still sensitive when I tried to come off duloxetine but…. I’m off duloxetine after a horrible time to get off. I was on 10mg and had an adverse reaction May 2022. Got Akathisia. Then in August 2022 dropped from 10mg to 5mg. Saw some improvements and then in December all hell again (histamine intolerance) started! I didn’t know if was histamine and foods /chemicals were causing these severe symptoms. So then decided if I had any chance to heal had to drop the last 5mg. I dropped the 5mg to 0 in February. I like watching your videos. Most if not all of my symptoms are neurological. So so sad. I’m holding on. By the way, NO ONE BELIEVES any of this. You are enlightening and you give me hope. Thank you. ❤

@jmariefedder6823 Жыл бұрын
You really need to research exactly which probiotic that heals the gut. Spirulina and chlorella can help heal your gut. DAO is a good start to helping gut health. This lady just says take a probiotic and that's it. Lactobacillus which is in most standard probiotics makes histamine in the gut worse. I would suggest a prebiotic and probiotic minus the lactobacillus. Now she also states don't buy vitamins at the grocery store. Welp some of us don't live on fluffy clouds in the land of unicorns and can afford 50 plus dollars to order specialty online supplements. Do the best you can.

I'm almost 21 months off 2.0 mgs of Klonopin, which I took daily since 2014, for anxiety, and agoraphobia, so you can only imagine how much worse those issues became, total horror trip, my taper was 1051 days long, I did it with no real support, alone on medical welfare, when Covid lockdown hit here in Canada, March 2020, I had already been isolating over 2 years, as I hit tolerance around the time of my 50th Birthday in May 2017 , I wrestled the benzo into the ground myself, today I'm still not even close to well, I still have 4 common symptom themes, running through my body, constantly , daily constant air hunger, heart woes, palps, tachycardia, Low Blood Pressure, , feeling weak/carsick like, feeling like fainting, and of course, the anxiety/agoraphobia, during early Covid, I literally went 19 months without even being in a moving vehicle, I walked to a close by grocery store, for food, that's all I saw literally, so yeah, doing the best I can , really hoping the symptoms go away , someday! so yeah, that's my condensed story...

SOOO glad to see you back with a new video! Your videos, by far, have been more helpful than any others out there. Every histamine symptom you mention you had, is exactly what I feel every day now. I tried Benadryl, but it extremely over sedates me. I use Pepcid every day, but have yet to try Allegra or Zyrtec? Which did you find helpful without the sedating effect? Thanks for coming back and hope to see more as I have been staying away from BB and others due to the growing negative posts. Hope to see you soon and keep healing.❤❤

I'm so glad that my videos can help someone. I would stare away from the Benadryl only because the fact that it is used to make SSRIs and has a sedating effect crosses the blood brain barrier. Allegra+ pepcid seem to help. If you take them every 12 hours starting at bedtime they can start to ease things along with diet and time. 💕

Many people that I talk to have inflammation in mine actually shows You can put your hand on my back and leave a handprint on my skin I also get flushing from inflammation and feel like I'm going to pass out. I'm being treated by a specialist who studies mast cell and histamine intolerance. A lot of us during benzo and benzo taper withdrawals inflammation markers come back high. I would say inflammation is one of my worst symptoms when I get it it's really bad.
Hi Melissa, I’m wondering if you can recommend cosmetics like face cream, sunscreen, foundation? I have MCAS and mold toxicity, I react to a lot of things. I’m 33 months of benzos and still struggling a lot. Is there a brand that you are able to tolerate? Thank you!❤
Try castor oil for the face it's anti aging and an anti inflammatory. If you're dealing with mold toxicity chlorella is what helped me immensely.
Dear Melissa, Which Vitamin C?
Cymbalta (antidepressant) caused my damage. I also did come off a benzo that I was on for 9 years. I did a slow one year taper off and I think I did okay with that taper. Probably was still sensitive when I tried to come off duloxetine but…. I’m off duloxetine after a horrible time to get off. I was on 10mg and had an adverse reaction May 2022. Got Akathisia. Then in August 2022 dropped from 10mg to 5mg. Saw some improvements and then in December all hell again (histamine intolerance) started! I didn’t know if was histamine and foods /chemicals were causing these severe symptoms. So then decided if I had any chance to heal had to drop the last 5mg. I dropped the 5mg to 0 in February. I like watching your videos. Most if not all of my symptoms are neurological. So so sad. I’m holding on. By the way, NO ONE BELIEVES any of this. You are enlightening and you give me hope. Thank you. ❤
What probiotic do you recommend? I am 18 months off of 0.25 activan. Having terrible histamine issues. I have been trying to take DAO and quercertin. What are your thoughts?
You really need to research exactly which probiotic that heals the gut. Spirulina and chlorella can help heal your gut. DAO is a good start to helping gut health. This lady just says take a probiotic and that's it. Lactobacillus which is in most standard probiotics makes histamine in the gut worse. I would suggest a prebiotic and probiotic minus the lactobacillus. Now she also states don't buy vitamins at the grocery store. Welp some of us don't live on fluffy clouds in the land of unicorns and can afford 50 plus dollars to order specialty online supplements. Do the best you can.
I have histamine reaction to dairy and oranges and pineapple,and some other foods. Can you let me know what sources I can get vitamin D and vitamin C

Thank you so much for the information! Please make more videos if you can. You are beautiful and kind person❤️
Aw thank you that really means the world to me. I'm definitely going to be focusing on doing at least a couple videos a month
Fantastic video!! Love the no sugar coating truthful delivery. Very informative and helpful. You seem to have come a long way in your healing process since your beginning videos and I wish you continuing peace & happiness. This fight is taking longer than I expected, but no TIME limit. Looking forward to the next video and still hoping you share your coping techniques for panic attacks. Until then..💕
Thank you so much Joel, it really means the world to me I try real hard just to be a supportive as I can to others because I know that meant the most to me when I was going through this. Keep hanging in there and remember you're going to be okay and you're going to get better. 💕
@@TheBenzoHouse One thing I forgot to ask was did you start the probiotic during your taper or wait until you finished your taper? Thank you again so much.
@@TheBenzoHousedid you feel low energy sym
I would also love to see another video on histamine. One of my major symptoms is anxiety and panic attacks. I have seen a few local counselors/therapist in my small, local rural community about learning coping skills for the anxiety and panic with no success. They all suggest deep breathing, but offered no other alternative techniques. Would you care to share the techniques you learned to help with your anxiety and panic attacks? Everything you do is greatly appreciated💕.
Thanks for your video & updates. Hope you are getting better everyday!!! Hope you can continue to make videos. Missed you. 😘
Awee missed you also! Thank you I definitely am, good and bad days but push through 😊
I'm almost 21 months off 2.0 mgs of Klonopin, which I took daily since 2014, for anxiety, and agoraphobia, so you can only imagine how much worse those issues became, total horror trip, my taper was 1051 days long, I did it with no real support, alone on medical welfare, when Covid lockdown hit here in Canada, March 2020, I had already been isolating over 2 years, as I hit tolerance around the time of my 50th Birthday in May 2017 , I wrestled the benzo into the ground myself, today I'm still not even close to well, I still have 4 common symptom themes, running through my body, constantly , daily constant air hunger, heart woes, palps, tachycardia, Low Blood Pressure, , feeling weak/carsick like, feeling like fainting, and of course, the anxiety/agoraphobia, during early Covid, I literally went 19 months without even being in a moving vehicle, I walked to a close by grocery store, for food, that's all I saw literally, so yeah, doing the best I can , really hoping the symptoms go away , someday! so yeah, that's my condensed story... I wouldn't wish this benzo crap on anyone,
SOOO glad to see you back with a new video! Your videos, by far, have been more helpful than any others out there. Every histamine symptom you mention you had, is exactly what I feel every day now. I tried Benadryl, but it extremely over sedates me. I use Pepcid every day, but have yet to try Allegra or Zyrtec? Which did you find helpful without the sedating effect? Thanks for coming back and hope to see more as I have been staying away from BB and others due to the growing negative posts. Hope to see you soon and keep healing.❤❤
I'm so glad that my videos can help someone. I would stare away from the Benadryl only because the fact that it is used to make SSRIs and has a sedating effect crosses the blood brain barrier. Allegra+ pepcid seem to help. If you take them every 12 hours starting at bedtime they can start to ease things along with diet and time. 💕
So proud of you love ya
I noticed your channel went empty for a while, and I seen this old video popped back up, but it is the only one available. Are you planning on starting to add more videos again? Hope so, because you have been a true help for many people.❤ I am still fighting the fight and would love to hear your progress.
Ever since I finished tampering Clonazepam. I became sensitive to my blood pressure medicine. I tried 5 different bp medicine and all of them made me sick. Ever time I take my medicine it makes me sick and I have to take the bp medicine to keep my BP from going up. Do you know if I will still heall even though I take my medicine every day.
Hey Melissa. Could you do another update. I have all the histamine stuff. Im 4 months off. The reactions are bad
Hope you are well and have not had any setbacks since this video. Your videos have been very helpful for a lot of people and would love to see an update video if you are feeling up to it. Best wishes to you and your family.❤️
This makes me think I should reduce + move towards avoiding the benzos as stabilizers - although they help, I can see how they could just cause a never ending cycle of my MCAS. Really appreciate you posting this!
Please can I talk with you. I am in benzo hell
Hi Melissa. I am struggling so bad and still tapering. Did you CT or did you taper. I
try liver detox then colovada ..for histamine, I know someone how solve this probmelm with it
You’re not a doctor but you know better than they do! My doctor told me to quit Xanax cold turkey! And here I’m after one year still having the withdrawals. 😢 Heath care in the USA is not heath care!
I have been on klonopin 0.5 for a year. Now i feel i am developing tolerance like i take it for my severe insomnia. Initially it helped me but now i cant sleep even if i take 0.5mg
I'm so sorry to hear this. You are not alone xo
You best try to taper because my son unfortunately been in 40 years so not sure he’ll ever get off then ER number of times from tolerance withdrawal but his taper were too hard for him !Good luck.
I was on 2mgs of Ativan for 3 years. Dropped straight down to one 1mg. Which I don't suggest lol for 3 months. Then down to .5mgs for 4 months. Now today I started this. I took out .5ml from 200ml. I hope that's ok instead of doing 300ml? I figured I'd do .5mls every second day since my body is so sensitive. I don't have spring water so hopefully the tap water will do. Guess I'll put my evening dose in the fridge instead of the counter?
They’re not allergic reaction they’re histamine intolerance mimicking it
I know histamine causes a lot my problems scysolyl All but also I would like to add is that I tested negative for Covid and the flu my guess is that the severe random waves the last week set off my body histamine reaction so much worse than normal? Praying I heal soon
Hey did u get bronchitis or laryngitis or LPR.I’m wondering which one I have cuz I didn’t nothing to trigger my waves last week and it was awful that it caused me so much stress on the throat mainly it’s like my stomach acid came up to my throat. It’s constant anxiety and I thought i was having last extreme waves but I don’t know
God bless you lady
