Withdrawal & Stress: Why Stress Hits So Hard in Antidepressant & Benzo Withdrawal

If you are in the process of a benzodiazepine or antidepressant taper or working through ongoing benzo or antidepressant withdrawal symptoms and healing, then perhaps you’ve noticed that stress seems to hit you differently than before! The stress hormone reactions in the body feel more intense and don’t always seem to align with life situations, which means that you might feel easily overwhelmed or in a near-constant state of tension and discomfort.

If you feel this way there is good news: it isn’t just you! In this video I will discuss how increased stress sensitivity can be a common symptom of benzo withdrawal and antidepressant withdrawal, and I will talk about the various ways a person can experience this stress sensitivity.

Finally, we’ll talk about practical ways to manage and mitigate stress as you continue to move forward in your healing journey on the way to greater strength and systemic balance!
