[Wo...]

Recommended Posts

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)
