ill cut right to the point; ive been having bizzare symptoms that i cant associate them with anything, doctors gave run tests but cant come up with a reason, they have been off and on for about 3 years, and have become extremely prevelant in the past 8 months. I was taking some clonazepam and alorazapam off and on for the past 4 years, but NEVER everyday, maybe as needed like 2-3 times a week. ive noticed that these symptoms seem to spike a day or two after working out. heres a list of these symptoms:

-severe ringing in ears

-face feeling flushed hot, and feet, while fore arms feel cold

-muscle twitches all over body, random pain behind eye and ears

-headache

-random pounding heart

-depressionand hopeless, lack of ambition,

-weird sensation in throat, not pain but feeling kinda cold or like i have to hack up flem,

-sensitivity to cold to touch skin,

-feeling slightly aggresive and jumpy,

-weird sensation like a brain zap or shivers at random(like when you get when you pee)

I realize these are confusing but i dont know where else to turn? im a 33 year old male, i dont do drugs and after these symptoms starting coming on i quit drinking alcohol. These symptoms seem to peak after 2 days after working out or weight training, im so confused! I havent taken any benzo for over 5 months, what the hell is going on with me ??

    Definitely sounds like withdrawal to me, but go through the standard doctors checks-- neurologist, brain MRI, etc.. prob will come back negative. Research Benzo forums and Facebook -- you will find plenty of people who have experienced similar symptoms and worse withdrawing from these drugs.. even after intermittent use and months after quitting. But get it checked out first and then research benzo withdrawal.

    How quickly did you come off the benzos? Please explain your weaning process.

    If it was to fast a withdrawal or your cold turkeyed, 5 months is a very short length of time for all the withdrawals to go away

    I am at about 21 post withdrawal and still going through waves and windows
