Benzo Belly - How I Healed from Psych Med Gut Damage
In this video I talk about what I've learned about gut health and how I healed my gut from psych med damage. Two things I forgot to cover in the video:
1) Another major MAJOR symptom of mine after I got off the drugs completely was an intense burning sensation all through my gut. This is a symptom of neuropathy and is really common in withdrawal and can happen in any place in the body, not just the gut. It healed, I haven't had a flare up of that particular symptom in probably a year.
2) The Restore 3 supplement has a lot of other ingredients in it that make it an all-in-one supplement. It also has binders to remove toxins and probiotics to help restore good colonies. It worked like magic but it took about 3 months to start to see results.

    Bro... Yer a badass for stating all of this openly... I think Im in your shoes... Like you Im a long hair guy, Ive been addicted to benzos for 20 years but in past few years of my long term addiction my body started to rebel... My hair started falling out, my stomach is fucked, my whole abdomen hurts when I wake up everyday... The acid stool I have lived quite in quiet desperation for sometime, its fucking brutal... Its not living.... I keep supplementing my micro biome and I have tapered my benzo use by 1/3rd but its very difficult. Ive had multiple seizures trying to quit these substances, the situation even prompted me to buy more life insurance on myself to ensure my family just in case... but, Im gonna keep trying to beat it..

    My mom and grandma and aunt all told us not to take psych meds, birth control or antidepressants. We laughed at them thinking they were old fashioned. Well.. turns out taking an antidepressant for years because you “need” it - with “it” being something questionable nobody really defines what to actually is- or one that can kill your sex drive- isn’t maybe a great idea.

    I am so sorry you had to go through this. I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy. I can relate so much to your story with the sensitivity and substance abuse. It was actually weed withdrawal that landed me in the psych ward where all this hell began. I felt the damaging effects of the drugs but by the time I decided to quit it was too late. I wanted off them so bad I foolishly attempted cold turkey 2 times both of which resulting in a catastrophe. I knew a taper was the only way and I made the mistake to trusts doctors' whose rapid tapers once again put me in hell. Withdrawal from theese drugs is something so horrid it can never be put into words. Like pure torture from the bottoms of hell. Thankfully I slowly recovered to the point where I was able to start a proper taper and I have taken matters into my own hands, refusing to ever see a psychiatrist again. I am doing a taper that will take 3-4 years to complete. As much as I want to be off the drugs I know this is a much better option than risking protracted withdrawal and I wish more people knew that a taper of 12 months which they may consider slow is actually very rapid. Of course everyone was different but anything under 12 months is just dangerous for those of us who are very sensitive to the substances, have been on them for years or have a history of withdrawal . I have only one video on my channel from when I was in withdrawal but videos like yours encourage me to want to post more of my story. Hang in there, we are all in this together❤

    After a life of dealing with intense hypersensitivity and years of anxiety and ocd, earlier this year I decided (even though I was not really feeling it intuitively) that maybe it's time to try medication and oh, boy, I was wrong. Exactly like you said on your journey videos, the unreal / uncanny feeling and not feeling anything was too much for me + worsening of symptoms. I did not have any problem going off the SSRI as I only took it for a short amount of time but the benzo was pretty addictive already even though I only took it for a month and a half. I also love rural areas because nature (+ lots of sunlight) has proven time and time again to effectively calm my nervous system. I also had some so so experiences with therapists and psychiatrists and while it's pretty disappointing to say the least, I realised that we truly only have ourselves to advocate for our needs and healing.

    ❤ MATT! Do you remember which video it was when you mentioned ' People suffering with these injuries' aren't playing with a "FULL DECK". It was one of your first videos I saw. I'm asking this because family, doctors, and everyone expect me to jump when they snap their fingers and do things I'm not able to do when I'm in the most horrible injuries I've ever been in. Protracted withdrawals. Acathesia. It's hard to live inside my own body in my own house. But these people expect me to be normal and do things they take for granted every day. ❤
