I made a similar post a few months ago for the same reason, it was scary but resolved in a few days....it returns a bit if I over do life.

My bad, I didn't realize you were still tapering...I would have said more...and that is some of us experience that "jerking" throughout the taper and it is most likely a sign of recovery as the muscles and neurotransmitters jockey for positions in the muscles that Benzos kept relaxed...mine almost completely resolved about 6-8 weeks into full withdrawal but started getting better before then...

I got scared and reached out when it happened later in my recovery, but it was just random and finally it dawned on me with your post that it hasn't happened at all in many weeks.

I know it is scary when it happens, you have my deepest sympathy, just laugh and tell it to begone!!!

I get these off and on still but they seem to be less frequent the lower I go. Maybe my muscles are starting to finally relax a bit. I stopped being afraid of them though because I realized it was actually a good sign of healing. Still they are a pain in the arse! B
