[Wo...] Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 A pretty comprehensive list of symptoms is provided here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzodiazepine_withdrawal_syndrome These are the ones I've dealt with (I put in brackets the percentage that I've recovered from them since completing my taper one month ago)... Aches and pains (50%) Agitation and restlessness (80%) Anxiety (90%) Depression (80%) Dilated pupils (100%) Dizziness (70%) Electric shock sensations (50%) Fatigue (75%) Flu-like symptoms (for me it was chills 90%) Headache (80%) Increased sensitivity to touch (50%) Increase sensitivity to sound (50%) Insomnia (100%) <-- knock on wood Impaired memory and concentration (80%) Muscle cramps and twitches (10%) <-- this is my most persistent symptom Paresthesia (90%) Perspiration (80%) Stiffness (30%) <-- still get stiff jaw Tinnitus (10%) <-- never really bad for me and doesn't really bother me but it does continue Tremor <-- I've always had shaky hands. It is certainly worse now because of the drugs but hard to measure improvement Visual disturbances (100%) <-- my vision would freeze for split seconds (scary when driving) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
