Increase in allergy symptoms from Benzo taper?
Sorry for the weird question. I’m a few months into a very slow taper from a “low dose” of klonopin and since starting, I’m having a TON of “sensitivities” and “allergy” issues. I put those in quotes bc I’m not allergic to most anything common.
I’ve been allergy tested twice since starting and the only thing I’m reacting to on testing is alternaria, a fall mold.
But right now, I can’t even touch my dog without my hand going numb, swelling, rashes and am sneezing/itching non stop. I’m also having bouts of burning pain. It’s all also happening in my feet. I think it’s messing with my nerves and making me super sensitive but I thought I’d ask here to see if anyone has experience.
My doctors (allergist and neurologist) have NO clue about this btw. I’ve already asked and got shrugs. I’ve also asked around the benzo withdrawal community but gotten limited response.
Thanks for any insight!
