Hi Tina. The lack of sleep may be causing the issues. I've never been on benzos, but I think insomnia is one of the withdrawal symptoms. It would be difficult to know if the benzos caused the symptoms or if it is bipolar or some other MI. Perhaps by writing out any symptoms you've had in your past (prior to being on benzos) to see if there was a pattern to it. I hope seeing the pdoc will help.
