Yes, it’s benzos that make me binge. It happens when they are wearing off. I get hungry and bad cravings and give in. I don’t ever get this when I am not on the med, and I only take a benzo on occasion if I really need it, so I am sure the cravings are from the med.

I do have the ability to tell myself ‘no’ and not eat the thing I want. That does work some of the time. Other times, I feel I’ll do it because it’ll be alright, or it’ll make me feel good in that moment, or I am so down I just don’t care, etc…. I think that negative self talk is the underlying issue with the eating issues essentially. Do you agree?
