I started my symptoms last august. They seemed to nearly dissappear in December - then came back full force in January. I had not been on any meds at the time, just occasional xanax. The doctor put my on zoloft about three weeks ago for the anxiety. It seems to be helping, even in the short time I've been taking it. Meds like xanax and ativan, from what I understand, are only to be taken either as needed or on a short term basis (no more than 6 weeks). You may want to talk to your doctor about a longer term drug, like zoloft or lexapro. I was hesitant at first also, but I can't live with the tingling anymore.
