A member asked:

How long does it take for gaba receptors to heal after while in clonazepam withdraw?

7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

NOT QUITE SURE : The longer off the medication the better you will feel. The body has a "memory" and this will dissipate the longer you stay off the clonazepam.

See below: Any particular receptor is "healed". You want to know how long it takes for GABA function and tone to normalize after using benzos. Rule of thumb- one month for every year of continuous use.

On lorazepam, urines every 3 months bc history of drugs (on Suboxone for 11 yrs) Last screen shows positive for Klonopin - I have NOT taken Klonopin. Only thing thats changed is supplements i.e. serotonin and gaba "brain food". What could cause this?
