> > Does anyone else have this?? I went back on valium and it went away for about a month and came back. I have looked around and found no information about a med (usually neurontin is suggested) that consistently works or does not poop out. I am so so sick of this annoyance. Have had it a year. People say live with it as you have no other choice. Great! :-(

>Well I have asked if anyone else has it and apparently no one one that read my post does. I have had a physical exam, blood work recently, but do not have insurance and do not have the insurance or funds for any extensive investigations here in the land of "compassionate conservativism." It is a documented benzo withdrawal symptom though and I am on benzos. Could be tolerance withdrawal. It is also a documented anxiety symptom. It comes and goes and is made worse by stress.
