Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been taking 10 mg of Diazepam daily for about five years. I am taking Amitriptyline 100 mg, Dexamphetamine 10 mg, Propanolol 120 mg, Buspiron 30 mg, Imovane 15 mg and Diaz 10 mg. I ran out of my prescription three days ago, and I think I am having Benzo withdrawals. I am very nauseous and anxious; my mood fluctuates from minute to minute. My muscles are sore, I did not sleep last night, I have no appetite, and my hands and feet feel numb and cold. About half an hour ago, I started to feel weird, then my right arm seemed to be jerking weirdly, and I was not sure if I was purposefully doing it, same for some odd noises I was making. It seemed involuntary, but I was just so confused. I am worried I had some minor seizures. But maybe I am overthinking it. I feel much clearer now than half an hour ago, but I am weak, exhausted, and confused. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Yes, all these are withdrawal symptoms only.

You need to take Diazepam now to subside all your symptoms.

I wish you good health.

Kind regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
