Each person experiences this a bit differently. How long have you been off the drug? The withdrawal syndrome happened to me upon quitting Xanax abruptly after many years of use. In my case the symptoms were severe, intolerable, so I resumed Xanax for a short time. Then my doc switched me to Klonopin and I very very slowly tapered off that. Even with the slow taper, there was about a week of discomfort when finally quitting. Benzos are nasty and way over-prescribed. But please talk to your doctor, you don't need to suffer through this.
