What you are describing sounds a bit like tolerance withdrawal. Please google benzodiazepine tolerance withdrawl symptoms. You might find a link to a publication called the Ashton Manuel, if so click on it. The AM does a pretty good job of explaining things. Bottom line is you need to get with your dr or psychiatrist and talk about what’s going on. If you are in a place in your life where you can consider tapering off the benzos safely and slowly then I would if I were you. You might find that you feel way better off the benzo than on it. I don’t know the reason you are on it, but taking a higher dose may only help for awhile, then you may have symptoms again. Go online and really do some research, but go talk to your dr for sure. Read the Ashton Manuel...
FYI: if your pill is generic and has recently been changed to a different brand of generic that too can cause symptoms such as you describe, generics do vary as to manufacture. I have only recently learned that lesson.
Hope this helps!
Best wishes

Okay I just read all your posts and yes you def sound like yur body is in WD. You need a dr who is educated in benzo WD. Here’s one suggestion call your local compounding pharmacy (call as many in your area as you can) and ask the compounding pharmacist if they can recommend a dr that has experience in tapering patients off benzos. Who have they worked/compounded for in that capacity. That info is golden!
