>For what it's worth, I think you should treat your condition as being benzodiazepine withdrawal.

I suggested a slow taper from 2mg diazepam liquid. Propranolol might be slightly helpful, whatever we call it. Although the symptoms sound rather like akathisia, the pathophysiology is probably very different, so response to 'traditional' anti-akathisia drugs is unlikely to be good. This is why I suggested the taper.
