I was diagnosed with dysautonomia in 2003 at the Mayo Clinic MN. I took atenolol and drank lots of water and increased salt intake. In 2009, I got a severe vertigo attack and was put on valium. The valium was a three food fold helper in that it helped with my migraines, adrenaline surges, and pvc's. I've been tapering off the valium now bc I worry about the long term effects. Has anyone had dysautonomia, been put on benzos long term, came off the benzos and been ok? The taper is long and terrible but I would like to be off this med if possible. Thanks everyone.
