SUGAR IS AS BAD AS BENZOS

Sugar causes the exaggerated conversion of tryptophan into serotonin . This unaturally higer level of serotonin down-regulates (desensitises) serotonin receptors . You then need more serotonin to get the same level of serotonin receptor activation . Benzo increases GABA down-regulating GABA .
Stop taking sugar and your normal (lower) amount of serotonin is no longer able to activate your receptors = depression. Suddenly stop taking benzos and all hell will break lose.
