Are you saying the feeling used to be only after you moved around (exercise) but now is all the time?

 

Thanks,

 

Firefly

What medication(s) are you currently taking?

 

Can you post several days worth of daily notes such as -

 

  • 7 AM - Burning nerves
  • 10 AM - Clonazepam (0.25mg)
  • 12 PM - Anxiety

It is also important that we know what medication(s) you are taking, the dosage, and the times when you take them.

If you were switched directly from ativan to clonazepam, that could have dysregulated your nervous system. Ativan is short-acting and clonazepam is long-acting, so crossing over is always a better idea, but unfortunately doctors don't do this. Ativan 0.5mg is equivalent to .25mg clonazepam, so you were also given a higher dose than necessary. You then dropped the dose by over 50% down to 0.25mg, so I expect your nervous system is quite confused by all the med changes.

 

I think it would be a good idea to hold where you're at to see if you can stabilize. When you're ready to taper again, we recommend tapering by no more than 10% of your most recent dose each month. 

 

You mentioned your symptoms increase just before taking the clonazepam - do they improve after taking it, 1-3 hrs later?

I think you may have tapered too quickly from the clonazepam and then further dysregulated your CNS from the additional drugs. If it were me, I would continue to hold. Since you were on 4 different drugs in such a short time frame, I don't know that reinstating any of them would be helpful to you at this point.

 

I'm sorry you're experiencing these symptoms. I can definitely relate to how this feels, but I want to reassure you that it does get better with time.
