Benzo withdrawal

It began with running low on a prescription and turned into a nightmare. So where do we begin? Well let's start with having your primary care physician manage some serious psychiatric medications. Bad idea, and something I wish I would've known sooner because it could've prevented this whole disaster. So what is this disaster you speak of? The disaster was running out of benzodiazepines to find out that my primary care physician could not prescribe them. At first, I thought nothing of it. I'll figure it out, but I wasn't able to. Now I'm without this medication and my body has grown dependent on it. I'm starting to experience a nightmare of symptoms. I'm at work and I can't sit still. Not just a normal anxious feeling either. I can feel this in my head, like this terrible gnawing feeling of I have to move.
