Re: Adrenal fatigue from Benzo withdrawal

Thanks everyone for the responses. I do take emergen c for now and may try the bee pollen. There ARE sensitivities to B vits in benzo w/d whether you want to realize that or not. I have been dealing with this for quite a while..and have talked to quite a few others for almost 2 years now that are also in benzo w/d. It is common knowlegde that B vits can cause a revving up of an already revved CNS. For those who haven't experienced benzo w/d...you can't possible imagine how horrible that can be. I do get some B vitamins from other sources. I even started taking ORAC super food that has a ton of vitamins and nutrients in, but I still have to be careful as one wrong supplement or substance can lead to heart racing and severe anxiety, muscles spasms, derealisation etc etc. I have these symptoms now...but certain things make them much much worse. So I have to be precautious.

I am more looking for herbs...like what herbs can I take to get my adrenal glands supported. I will not take meds...and I am getting my vitamins.

I just want to know what herbs can help to support the adrenals ? The hypo thyroid stuff I think may be linked to the adrenals as I have never had any of these problems before benzos. I am open to other suggestions as well.

Thanks so much for the responses
