In reply to 2-1/2 years later have permanent withdrawal sympto, posted by chinaroses on February 16, 2009, at 11:57:23
It would be an interesting experiment to take Ativan for a few days to see if your symptoms disappear. If they do, you might need an anticonvulsant to help stabilize hyperexcitable tracts in the brain that a prolonged exposure to drug withdrawal may have produced. The prolonged withdrawal may have had a kindling effect.
This suggestion is in accordance with a personal theory of mine. You might not find anything on the Internet to corroborate the theory except for a few abstracts that indicate anticonvulsants can help mitigate the intensity of withdrawal syndromes.
Good luck.
