Had my last ativan 9-1-14

[[At...]]

So I cold turkey’d Ativan around a little over 3 years.  I have been doing well for the most part.  Recently I started having a few drinks here and there when eating dinner or hanging out with my friends only to start getting the same w/d symptoms I got 3 years ago.  Burning in the bottom of my feet.  Jelly like feeling on my left side.  My left side seems weaker and shakier then my right.  Burning and tingling mainly on my left side of my body, left leg and arm.  Also the white flashes or static we see when we close our eyes seems like it’s brighter.  Sort of like a dark sky lit by the moon.  Also constantly getting jerks and muscle spasms in my stomach.  I feel  that anxious butterfly feeling but I am the least bit anxious.  So worried this will never go away.  Should I go back on ativan? Or Valium.  I feel my cns is slowly torturing me every day.

Why not just stay away from the alcohol for awhile longer? To me, that's what's causing the problems.

If you c/t'd you could take longer to completely heal, but you will. Going back on ativan is just going to put you back where you were at the beginning of this hell and it may make you worse. Maybe just stay away from the booze for awhile longer until you feel normal again. I don't think it's recommended to drink at all until you've been  completely healed for awhile, anyway. I'd about kill to have a beer with friends, too, but it's not worth horrible benzo symptoms.

No you shouldn't go back on....just stop drinking alcohol and ride it out.
