Anyone know of other meds that helps with sound, motion, and light sensitivity?
Is benfotiamine a form of it?
- Taking thiamine - especially benfotiamine
- Taking other B vitamins,, especially folate, B6, B12, B2, etc.
Obviously, if one is in a crisis, taking a drug to stop the immediate symptoms may be wise, while working on identifying what's causing the anxiety. Unfortunately, the drugs can be addictive, deplete nutrients, damage mitochondria and are otherwise counterproductive, and many people lose their curiosity for what's wrong once the drug masks the symptoms, leaving themselves vulnerable to serious long term effects.If someone wants to try an alternative method, fine....talk it over with your Dr., wean off the drug and get proper medical supervision about what you want to try. Just trying to help some people and save some lives here. Not all anxiety/panic disorder is the same.
Anything that has the same effects as Ativan will also have the same issues, and will all clear thru the same P450 liver enzyme pathways. They will all have serious problems in terms of weaning off of them, and they will all have essentially similar side-effect profiles....Anyone know of other meds that helps with sound, motion, and light sensitivity?
Terriic rec, and thank you for posting it .... it should be a must-read for everyone with this dizzying little whirlpool of an illness ....I found Patrick Holford's book New Optimum Nutrition for the Brain to be helpful in learning about how nutrients affect the brain.
That's a great summation of the many reasons that benzos, in any form, are a poor idea for 'treatment', regardless.Unfortunately, the drugs can be addictive, deplete nutrients, damage mitochondria and are otherwise counterproductive, and many people lose their curiosity for what's wrong once the drug masks the symptoms, leaving themselves vulnerable to serious long term effects.
You're right - thank you for the correction! I have the black version of the book and I know that one is useful.New optimum nutrition for the Mind, is what I am finding (not brain).
