I have the same symptom, and I believe it's a very common one. It comes and goes in intensity and duration and should eventually subside when the brain heals. I try to distract myself and not think about it much

Scooby99 I’m certainly sorry you’re going through that I sure hope mine don’t last 11 years. My head pressure is at the base of my skull on the left side. It really throbs at night when I try to lay down I don’t get much sleep but it wakes me up a lot I have to go sit on a heating pad, which seems to bring some relief I’m 18 months benzo free, but this did not occur till about two months ago. I do get some relief. It comes and goes sometimes during the day. I hope that is a good sign.

Are you feeling more stressed than usual ? I used to get neck pain here years before Benzo’s when I had a hell of a lot going on . 
Get a BP monitor and if all is ok with that when you have been laid down resting , I’d go for a good head and neck massage to relieve muscle tension. 
Id then let it pass . It will

Thanks Bluepilled my blood pressure is pretty good. It stays around 125/75 or 80 whether I’m relaxing or or laying down goes up a little bit when I do some work but I have been massaging the area with my hand and started doing some neck exercises that I seen on YouTube. It seems to be better but still wakes me up at night though. thanks again. Chat at you later.

The head pressure and squeezing especially at the base has been a thing that grates on a persons nerves . Like a tight band . It will get better , for me , distraction helped a lot , but some days it just gets to you . When it first happened to me in withdraw I thought I was having a stroke , I didn’t realize what was happening . But I’m 10 months off benzo completely and that sensation is coming and going more now instead of staying all the time , I believe extra stress makes it worse and when we get in high stress situations.
