Are these symthoms psychological?

The medical community tells me my symptoms are psychological. I'm stuck in this train of thought that I am self imposing these withdrawal symptoms. So can anyone tell me if they are real are just conjured up? If they are conjured up why can't I control them?

Hey Toughtime

The psychological/emotional aspects of stopping benzos, and even just dealing with life, are not to underestimated.

If you have some phycological/emotional reserve, you can handle a great deal of physical discomfort.

If not, even the smallest thing can seam unbearable.

No, they are real.  It's shameful how many doctors don't know anything about how hard and how long this process can be.  Your symptoms are real.  Many of us find that discussing our issues with doctors who seem to think they know everything and don't believe benzo withdrawal syndrome exists isn't very productive.  That's why we have this forum, it's a safe, protective place for those going through this.

What precise symtoms are you talking about? Its difficult to ascertain given you dont list the symptoms which you wonder if are psycological. Are you hallucinating? Are you having burning nerve pain or are you having ruminating thoughts or none of the above. Just curious.
