After almost 6 years off my benzo ,I am actually getting worse and if I didn't have friend on other benzo sites,I would not believe it's still protracted benzo withdrawal! My muscles are so tight It takes all I have too get to the bathroom and my head pressure along with the severe tinnitus is maddening, What I want to know is has anyone found any food or drink that helps even a tiny bit or any OTC medicine that helps? If I had the ability to get to the Mayo Clinic in Florida I would go there but I don't think there is anything they could do as I have seen 4 neurologists and the best one did was tell me to go back on klonipin for 30 days and my symptoms would abate and I could stop it after 30 days !( did not do that) and my normal neurologist has done thousand of dollars worth of MRI's and MRA's plus blood tests,all normal and has scheduled a 72 hour EEG and wil comment on the results next month!

Have you tried CBD oil without THC? I am wondering about trying this myself. 6 months out from C/T on Klonopin for over 3 years and kindled with Ativan for 10 years prior. My legs are still aching and tight to the point of difficulty standing/walking.

Have you ever asked a doctor for the old muscle relaxer Soma? I know you mentioned a few didn’t work but I didn’t see that one. I too am going through a very difficult benzodiazepine taper my doctor is giving me Soma to help me sleep. It’s perhaps why I don’t have the muscle symptoms although I cannot say for sure. Certainly my heart goes out to you. I also don’t see how Klonopin at this point would help. Sending prayers to you. Three weeks of tapering is inhumane. I’ve taken Ativan, then Klonopin, now my taper is Valium but it’s months.
