Question

Hello

I have been on this site before many years ago after tapering klonopin for a year via water tritration. At the end of taper things got so bad I went into the hospital and got put on neurontin an room for a few weeks and this made everything so bearable and there was no issue stopping it after it did what it needed to do. Fast forward six years I was dealing with some health issues and started taking xanax not everyday but once every few days for the last eight weeks. Little did I know I was throwing myself back into hell. I am dealing w health issues and needed to take it for some relief. Anyhow I guess I was throwing myself into withdrawal and because of that I started losing functioning in my legs and arms. They are weak won't hold me up and also are burning the muscles feel all torn up. Visibly they shake and don't work. I thought wow maybe I am in benzo withdrawal and did a little test took small amount of neurontin 200 mg and my legs and arms suddenly worked but only until it wore off. Then back to hell. Besides some agitation yesterday that's really the only symptoms I'm having but it's pretty severe when you are 37 and your legs and arms won't work. So my question is.. is this really from the benzo? Or is something neurological going on like some other disease process. I have Lymes disease too. But this just happened once I started the xanax. Also the neurontin subsided it. Literally my muscles shake and burn and won't hold me up and feel shredded. If it is benzo withdrawal I will need to do a quick little taper off the neurontin. I stopped xanax at all over five days ago. I would never take that drug again. The neurontin I At least know will help and didn't cause me withdrawal. But my question is how can I taper it. I did 200 yesterday and -00 today I figured maybe few more days of 100 and the. To 50 and 25 etc I want to be done in a few days since this hasn't been going on too long. Please let me know your feedback. Suffering and scared sorry for typos
