Went thru benzo withdrawal in 2013.   It stopped my periods cold in Jan of 2015.  I have suffered thru the last 3 years with a sensitive CNS.  In Jan my sense of smell and libido nose dived.  I also started suffering dizziness and inability to move quickly.  Told the Doctor I wanted to try BHRT.  Started two weeks ago on .5mg divigel. I am alive again. The doctor and I agreed to hold on the progesterone until I see how I tolerate the estrodial.  God, I am alive again.

HOW DO I NAVIGATE PROGESTRONE??  I am terrified to fire off those GABA receptors.  Anyone here know how to help??

If I understood your short forms I might be able to 

BHRT?
CNS?

My sense of smell certainly altered whilst I took The Pill.  I could smell garbage.  Nowt else  but didn't realise until I stopped taking The Pill.  So hormones do have an impact on the sensory facalties.  [sp].  I don't remember food tasting any differently ......... though the two are linked.

ibrjohnson, I have the same issue as you, am withdrawing from diazepam for the 2nd time in 6 years and I know there's an issue with GABA receptors and progesterone but to be honest I don't really understand it. I think Tempest knows a lot more about this - you could try messaging her.

racjen - thanks for that.  I am going to start the progesterone tonite.  I think I saw you on benzobuddies??  I am 4.5 years out.  I will try to contact tempest.  The pharmacists say it does not directly affect the gaba receptors.  Only indirectly.  We shall see.  Will update.
