> I''m abit confused by your post concerning zanax and cortisol. My cortisol levels are high, not low due to high stress levels. (had them tested).Yea... its kind of messed up and complicated with this stuff. Ah, intersting! Never had mine tested. Though I am kind of surtain they are really high too OR that they fluctuate between different levels very fast.
> As far as zanax, my dosage is .5 during the day and 1.5 at night for sleep. Have tried everything else for sleep and nothing works that I don't have bad side effects.
> Are you saying that at the dosage of zanax could be causing a problem, like making anxiety worse?

> CourteyYea... COULD. Benso (xanax/valium/etc) does lower the cortisol-levels which then rises/spikes when the drug leaves the system. However... as you are taking it daily.. hm... maybe bleauberry could fill in here what happens then? I mostly take benso for a short period then holds up and so on.. so my thinking is limited to those parameters.
I consider my histamine-theory being kinda isolated to a "case of myself" due to the apparant connection with pollen-allergy.
