Paresthesia from Benzo Withdrawl ?

Posted by paromita87 @paromita87, Apr 27, 2022

Hello,

I was taking 2 mg Ativan daily as per my doctors advise.

she then suddenly asked me if I have a pill cutter and I said no.
So she told me to take one 0.25mg Klonopin and 1 mg ativan.

I only took two 0.25mg Kolomopin two times and then stopped.
I am experiencing some Paresthesia (pins and needles). do you think it would be from stopping the K or suddenly cutting out the dosafe on Ativan?

Will this go away or permanent. Really scared.
Thanks, mita

I got that from mirtazipine. Once I was off mirtazipine it went away. I hope yours goes away.

I was taken Xanax 2mg ER for the past few month, prescribed for the gluteal, pelvic floor primarily muscles spasms, anxiety. I also developed sever paresthesia, as well visceral anesthesia in conjunction with horrific dystonic, dyskinesia systemic by now spams, as Xanax destroyed all my muscles, turned them into the total jelly, mush line, caused its tone disoder as a side effects, withdrawal. I didn’t have much muscles tone left due to immobility mostly accept the regular PT in home a few times a week for the past year primarily because of the terrible muscles spasms preventing me from the regular activities, now as I’m trying to taper Xanax any movements, exercises with PT seems impossible, only causing muscles strain instead of strengthening them, amplifies the spasms thousands fold. I’m desperate to stop this vicious Xanax cycle asap before nothing left of my muscles, yet I suppose to continue taking it for another month tapering by 25% every week.
